Mr Abbott
November 2021

“The accommodation was just wright for us well equipped and was close to the areas where we wanted to visit and walk.”

the village had two pubs, two shops and a chippy all in close walking distance, there was a local park and walks in the hills and down the river from the door which was great for us and the dog. The Hot Tub was excellent.

Ms Carmichael September 2021

“Was nice but bed very small.”

Only a double and very creaky and lumpy. Not great. The sofa and chair felt grubby and so I put a large towel and throw over them. The whole place a lot smaller than I thought especially the area where the hot tub was The towels had seen better days

Mrs Cairns August 2021

“Loved to studio and we had an excellent week - very much appreciated the Prosecco & goodies basket!”

! The only down side was no internet connection, therefore, very limited choice of channels on the TV. Would definitely recommend and will certainly look at staying there again. Thank you

“Had an absolute amazing stay here at Oakdean, the hosts were so friendly and welcoming, and we had a lovely hamper and prosecco on arrival, they went above and beyond to make sure we had a brilliant stay and gave us lots of insight in things/places to do/go in the area.”

About the location

BLAKENEY

Gloucester 16 miles; Monmouth 16 miles; Ross-on-Wye 17 miles.

The ancient village of Blakeney lies on the southeast edge of the Royal Forest of Dean and was once a site of a Roman Villa dating back to 75AD. Equidistant to Gloucester and Monmouth, the village boasts many 16th and 17th century buildings, with a charming 16th century coaching inn, and also offers a good selection of amenities including a fish and chip shop, village store and Post Office, as well as numerous walks and cycle routes. The magnificent Royal Forest of Dean, England's largest oak forest and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, boasts numerous trails that can be explored on foot, by bike or horseback. Caving, abseiling and a high wire rope course can be enjoyed by the more adventurous, whilst fishing, golf, kayaking and canoeing are other popular activities available in this unspoilt area. The eerie caverns and ancient caves of Clearwell are close by, as are the Gloucestershire Way and Offa's Dyke Path for wonderful walks. Close by, Symonds Yat boasts natural scenery and straddles the beautiful River Wye with its magnificent limestone rock, popular with climbers, and well known for its viewpoint.

The unspoilt Malvern Hills, Brecon Beacon National Park and Black Mountains, as well as lovely Cotswold towns and villages are just a little further afield.
