It's such a cute and cosy set up. Owner is very nice, mostly leaves you to your own devices, which I really appreciate. Also, the recommendations for places to eat at are spot on!! Especially the Italian place, food absolutely delicious. Everything you might need It's there. Beautiful bathroom, the toiletries smell amazing!! The area is absolutely stunning, I always wanted to come here, especially the puzzlewood and I was not disappointed!!!

The only downside is problem with reception (not downside to the lodge). It's all area really, so makes it awkward at the times to find your way as maps keeps disconnecting. That wouldn't stop me from coming here again though!

Host was very amenable, as we were forced to change our arrival day and was always contactable and extremely concerned and very helpful. On arrival all clean and well presented and it became apparent how the occommodation was very central to all the attractions and amazing views near by. Artisan bakery and lovely restaurant called Amici ( Italian) which was in Coleford village spot on! Driving around the area the scenery was stunning. We enjoyed eating at Sarecens Inn at symonds yat after cycling from the car park along side the River Wye! BEAUTIFUL! Also bed was so comfy. X

The host Maria was outstanding. Such a friendly, helpful host who couldn't do more to help. She truly is wonderful! The Summerhouse was clean, well stocked with hot drinks, biscuits, cereal, shampoo, soap and more. The bathroom was modern whilst boho and spacious with a wonderful shower. The mattress on the bed was comfortable with plenty of fluffy soft blankets and pillows. There was a wall mounted TV at the end of the bed. There is also a fan, air conditioning unit and a portable heater. This will enable perfect room temperature year round. Brilliant! Wonderful nearby restaurants and cafes. Maria provides so much information in her Welcome Pack. It's really helpful! Finally, the location was simply sublime! No other words are needed! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay Maria, me and my husband both highly recommend staying here.

My only small criticism (if I was being picky) was the towels aren't fluffy/new looking. If you want that, bring your own. Another small criticism (again, if I was being picky) is the main pillows are a little flat/used. That being said, it was still very comfortable! It was noted in the property details that there's no WiFi so, like Maria already states, if you need this then this might not be the place for you! As for mobile data usage, I got 1 bar of 3G signal with o2 network.

The location was perfect for all the activities I wanted to do, being only 5-10 minutes up the road. The host was very attentive, she was always on call if I needed anything, but also left me to my own privacy. The bed was super comfy, soft and squishy pillows, I could have slept in alday, with the sound on the rain pitter pattering on the lodge roof. It was cosy, perfect for relaxing and unwinding after a long day of walking.

What the property don't tell you is that the summerhouse is actually 10 yards from their house and to reach it you have to go through their back gate. The photos of the property suggest you are in the forest with a beautiful pathway leading to the property. Very small bed not at all comfortable. It creaked every time you move.

A beautiful little hut in the owner's garden. Clean and well-equipped. It has everything you need for a comfortable stay.

The bathroom has a clear window right next to the dining table. When you eat your dinner, you can clearly see the toilet, which does not provide any privacy. Fitting a blind would solve this problem. Also, be aware that there is no Wi-Fi, which is stated in the description, but the mobile signal is very weak, so we couldn't use the internet at all.

Very cozy, very clean, and very comfy bed!
