“The house is really amazing, well located for FOD amenities and generally a really lovely place to be. We ended up staying in more as we liked the house so much. The house has all the amenities one would expect and there is a really good childrens play area just behind the house. Overall I really could fault it even if I was being petty.”

“Excellent Holiday Cottage – centrally located for all the activities we had planned (Clearwell Caves, Puzzlewood & Perrygrove Railway). The cottage is spacious & beautifully maintained to a high standard with everything you need (& quite a bit more) for a lovely holiday. The inclusion of a King-Size bed in the main bedroom is brilliant as often only a double bed is offered. Possibly the best holiday accommodation I’ve ever stayed in & far from the most expensive!”

“This is a gorgeous little cottage and the owner has a great attention to detail. The location is fantastic, we attended a wedding at clearwell castle (which is a 5 minute walk) and there is lots to do in the local area. Thoroughly recommend.”

“Absolutely loved Foxglove Cottage! The cottage is spacious and very comfortably furnished. The garden is a delightful sun-trap and perfect for a barbeque. The location is great for numerous local attractions – we managed to keep 2 teenage boys occupied all week! Highly recommended.”

“We had a lovely weekend in Foxglove Cottage. The location is fantastic – it’s in a pretty village with several nice pubs and places to eat within walking distance, and our two girls loved the playground that’s just round the corner. There’s tons to do and see only a short drive away – we hired bikes in the Forest of Dean, visited Symonds Yat and walked round the magical Puzzlewood and there’s lots more that we’d like to do on a future trip. The cottage itself is cosy and beautifully decorated with a very well equipped kitchen and a lovely courtyard garden. We hope to visit again!”

“I couldn’t recommend higher! Location was wonderful – 5 min walk to Clearwell Castle and very close to the caves. The house was superbly decorated and incredibly clean and beds and sofa’s ery comfortable. It felt cosy and relaxing with plenty of creature comforts. I’m stealing some decor tips from our stay!! The place would be perfect for dog owners with a secure garden (we didn’t bring our pup, but wouldn’t hesitate in bringing her should we stay again) We had a 1 1/2-year-old with us and I would say the place is great for a toddler. Plenty of toys for him, baby gates set up, crib in the master room and a high chair in the kitchen. Amanda thought of everything – there was tea, coffee, sugar, biscuits left for us, plenty of towels, bubble bath, shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, cotton pads, ear buds which was great. Lovely soap in the bathroom too – I’ll be buying some myself. One thing that many cottages don’t do, is leave appropriate (un-opened) items previous guests left behind – but it was great to see that there was some condiments, sparkling water, tonic water and other bits – which was handy. Amanda was incredibly friendly and a pleasure to deal with and the place was real value for money. I would certainly stay again – perfection! Thank you x”

“A gorgeous cottage and a brilliant base for exploring The Forest of Dean. The place is homely and very comfortable with all the amenities you’d hope for. We particularly liked the patio area at the back for a bit of late afternoon sun. The quietness of the cottage and the village in general is matched by the peaceful, tasteful decor and very comfortable beds. This is a place to come to and just RELAX. The village of Clearwell places you right in the heart of some of the most beautiful unspoilt countryside and everything is nearby, including Symons Yat, cycling and walks, lovely pubs and restaurants. Summing up, anyone looking for a fantastic place to stay and potter about and/or explore this magically corner of the world should really consider Amanda’s cottage. It’s everything you could possibly hope for from Air BnB and maybe a bit more…”

“We found the accommodation to be very clean and tastefully decorated, also each room was well equipped. We had lovely weather and were able to enjoy the attractive and comfortable outside space, which really added to the enjoyment of our stay. Would recommend to people wanting to stay in this area, close to the forest, the caves and steam railway.”

“Me & my family had a fantastic break at Foxglove Cottage. Amanda had thought of everything even toys for my 2 girls which they thoroughly enjoyed playing with! The cottage was beautifully clean & the garden was a pure joy my mum loved all of he different plants in quirky tubs & pots! We would definitely go back as 2 nights was not long enough.”

“This place is fantastic. It was so clean and the furnishings were beautiful. We had everything we needed, and Amanda even left a bone for our dog. Clearwell is a lovely little area, we went to the caves in the day and had a fab dinner at the Butchers Arms down the road. We also went to the diving and activity center nearby to do some flyboarding. We can’t recommend this place enough.”
