“If it was possible to give the Cider Barn a 6 Star review we most certainly would!”

It's that good. Cosy, comfortable, pretty garden and courtyard areas - everything you could hope for in a country cottage holiday. Lovely bedroom with panoramic view, wake up to blue tits and woodpeckers feeding in front of your window. Kim and Gary are friendly property owners, the welcome pack provided on our first day was an indicator that everything has been considered to make our stay as comfortable and relaxing as possible. Thank you Kim and Gary. Like many others we have fallen in love ...

Karen April 2022

“Such a beautiful cottage, set in brilliant surroundings.”

The owners were wonderful and not intrusive. An excellent place to stay and the most relaxing holiday, only the sounds and sights of birds and humming bees to be heard , whilst sitting in 1 of the 3 seating areas outside the cottage. Highly recommended.

- Karen, April 2022

Thank you so much Karen, it was a pleasure having you to stay in the Cider Barn. Property Owner
Sarah April 2022

“We've been under a lot of stress and this was the perfect place to escape everything.”

A little idyll in the countryside. Sitting in bed you felt like you were in a tree house with panaromic views of tree tops. There are two little patio gardens, both with table and chairs, plus a locely seat overlooking the pond - so there are lots of options to sit and relax outside. The owners were friendly and helpful. We followed their advice on the Little Dean chippy - delicious fish. We even got to learn a bit about bee keeping.

- Sarah, April 2022

Thank you very much Sarah, it was lovely to host yourself and Andrew and we hope to see you again. Property Owner

“The Cider Barn was exceptional, its location gave us the peace and quiet that we both craved for.”

Its cleanliness and comfort plus being well equipped made our stay there relaxing and a memorable one. There was a warm welcome from Kim along with milk, bread, honey and eggs waiting for us inside. The honey and eggs were from their bees and hens. I can recommend this property without hesitation and hopefully, we may return one day.

“A lovely cottage in a great location, although a little off the beaten track.”

The cottage was well appointed and spotlessly clean. A basket with milk, bread, eggs and homemade honey was a warm welcome. The instructions on how to reach the cottage were good, as not straightforward, although need to be updated as the Greyhound Pub is not longer there. An enjoyable holiday - Thanks.

- Karen, August 2021

Thank you for taking time to leave a feedback, we are delighted you enjoyed your stay, looking forward to welcoming you soon, Property Owner

“The Cider Barn is probably the cleanest holiday cottage that i have ever stayed in.”

The cottage is really well equipped with everything you could possibly need. We were thrilled with the welcome package of fresh milk bread and jars of the owners home produced honey. The rear courtyard is surrounded by beautiful scented roses and is a lovely sun trap. There are bird feeders hanging outside of the bedroom window where we had the pleasure of watching a Woodpecker eating his breakfast which was a real treat to watch this shy creature close up. The owners of the Cider Barn are friendly but not intrusive and have lots of local knowledge to offer if required. If you choose the Cider Barn for your holiday break you will not be disappointed.

Thank you very much for your beautiful feedback about the Cider Barn. We are delighted to hear that you had a wonderful time staying there. Property Owner

“An extremely comfortable, homely and well equipped cottage in a beautiful and quiet location.”

Highly recommended.

Janet May 2021

“We enjoyed our stay at the Cider Barn, despite the disappointing weather.”

Gary & Kim were very friendly & helpful hosts, initially providing a lovely welcome pack of delicious bread, honey (their own) & milk. The accommodation was comfortable & spacious and there was a choice of private, outside space to benefit from the peaceful surroundings. We particularly enjoyed the bird feeders outside the bedroom window, which attracted many birds, including a woodpecker! The only problem was the washbasin in the bathroom, which was fine for hand washing but rather small for anything else. Overall, a great place to stay if you are looking for tranquility & a natural environment. The Forest of Dean area is well worth a visit!

- Janet, May 2021

Thank you for your feedback with regards to your recent stay at The Cider Barn. It's lovely to hear all these fabulous comments and how much you enjoyed your stay. We hope to welcome you back again soon. Property Owner

“Holiday cottage is sited in a quiet rural location with some local walks and is within a short drive of local amenities.”

The owner was very welcoming and helpful on our arrival. Very pleasant stay.

- Jim, September 2020

Steve September 2020

“An absolute joy it was to stay here at Cider Barn.”

Set about a mile from the main road in and amongst the most perfect scenery around. The perfect place to be when you want the break from the busy life. A beautiful place which is spotlessly clean and comfortable. Everything you need is contained here, fantastic walking or relax in the garden by the pond, take your pick. Wonderful owners who live next door leave you to it. You have a dedicated car space behind a gate which is a godsend these days. I cannot rate this property high enough, it’s a gem and needs exploring.

- Steve, September 2020

Thank you so much for your kind words. We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience of your stay at The Cider Barn. Property Owner

Jacqui August 2019

“We were welcomed by the lady who owns the Cider Barn,she lives next door.”

Inside, there was a fresh loaf of bread, paint of fresh milk and some honey from the hives that they keep. The house and surroundings are absolutely stunning. So pretty and picturesque. Only 30 minutes drive from Gloucester, Ross on Wye and Cheltenham. There is plenty of information inside the house for local facilities, and things to do. Altogether perfect.

- Jacqui, August 2019
Julie August 2019

“Kym and Gary are great - friendly but not intrusive.”

The Cider Barn is a beautifully secluded cottage attached to the Main house (although you'd never know it), very peaceful and perfect if your travelling alone as the area is safe. Surrounded by the best the Forest of Dean can offer. A little Gem.

- Julie, August 2019
Nadja May 2019

“The Cider Barn was great!”

The cottage itself was very comfy with beautiful interior and well equipped and clean facilities. I loved the general atmosphere in and around the house and grounds. Oh and I totally miss the wood burner! Also the owners were very helpful and friendly and provided a warm welcome (even the cat) :-) In nearby Cinderford you'll find everything you need...shops, butcher, bank, hairdresser.

Karen March 2019

“WOW a great little hideaway.”

Meet with a very friendly welcome, a grat welcome basket of Milk fresh bread and honey. Great nights un winding in front of the log burner with a beer. You must treat your self to buy the homemade honey £4 a jar great value. Great places to eat out near by. Look forward to my next holiday there next year.

- Karen, March 2019
Wendy February 2019

“A lovely place to stay with good facilities and in a pretty part of the country.”

Enhanced by a nice welcome pack with vase of flowers. It did confuse the sat nav but the locals were very helpful!

Guest's review on TripAdvisor

“Set high in the stunningly beautiful Forest of Dean with the garden overlooking the majestic river Severn, it would be difficult to imagine a more idyllic spot to 'chill out'.”

No traffic noise and only the rustle of the wind through the trees to disturb the silence. We stayed at apple blossom time and so took very many photographs but the location is breathtaking at any part of the year. On arriving, we were greeted by very friendly hosts who we never saw again, (except by coincidence). There was a welcome pack of provisions including a loaf of local gorgeous bread and we found the kitchen to be well stocked with tools and electrical gadgets which all worked. The well stocked DVDs and book library was brilliant and we look forward to returning again for another wonderful holiday.

Beautiful surroundings and we can imagine how lovely it is in the spring and summer- we will be back! Thank you also for the eggs, bread and honey which we enjoyed very much.

“We enjoyed a lovely holiday at The Cider Barn.”

The cottage and surroundings are idyllic. We were fortunate with the weather, which was very warm and sunny. This part of the country is new to us and we enjoyed walking around and seeing the area and visiting the different places. Sitting in the garden was so peaceful and we loved having Chester the cat for company. He loved sitting with us in the sunshine - so sweet and friendly! Thank you for providing us with such comfortable accommodation and hospitality and we would certainly like to visit again

The autumn colours have been beautiful and we have enjoyed some good walks in both areas. You have given us a good place for a short holiday "away from it all". Many thanks

About the location

NEWNHAM-ON-SEVERN

Gloucester 13 miles.

The thriving village of Newnham-on-Severn nestles on the banks of the River Severn. The village is steeped in history, and offers specialist shops to suit all interests, along with traditional pubs and cafes. This charming village, part of which is designated Conservation Area, has a tree-lined main street, many listed buildings, a striking central clock tower and is ideally located for watching the spectacular Severn Bore. The Royal Forest of Dean, England's largest oak forest, offers numerous trails that can be explored on foot, bicycle or horseback. Caving, abseiling and a high-wire rope course are on offer for the more adventurous, while fishing, golf, kayaking and canoeing are also available. Gloucester is just a short drive away, where you will find Roman foundations, Victorian docklands and a spectacular Norman cathedral (whose cloisters were used in the Harry Potter films). Littledean with its unique Jail Museum and Quadrophenia Collection, Westbury Court Garden, the only restored water garden in the country and the ancient caves and eerie caverns of Clearwell Caves (as seen in Dr Who and Merlin) make a great family day out. The ancient market towns of Ross-on-Wye and Monmouth have excellent shops, pubs and restaurants, plus many black and white timbered buildings, or visit the historic walled town of Chepstow with its celebrated race course and impressive Norman castle. A little further afield, discover the beautiful Malvern Hills, Black Mountains and Brecon Beacon National Park. A great location for a relaxing break or activity holiday at any time of year.
