Cottage
The Cottage, Viney Woodside, is a delightful traditional stone built cottage with the forest behind, and a fantastic view of Blakeney Hill in front. The cottage provides a light and welcoming haven in this very attractive rural area and is ideally placed for exploring the surrounding countryside. There are lovely walks straight from the house including a nearby ridge with spectacular views across the top of the forest, and a short way away from Blackpool Brook picnic site. The Cottage has open fires as well as central heating, a patio and BBQ area, as well as garden and three bedrooms.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Beautiful and cozy
The Cottage is our favorite retreat in Britain. Clean, cozy, friendliest staff, everything’s provided - even a BBQ place. Great for families or groups. Will keep coming back. The only thing un-English are the water-tabs - hot and cold as mixable as everywhere outside the empire. Much appreciated!

Always a pleasure
A perfect nest for every season. Superb for self catering and BBQ too. Space for at least two cars right in front. Beautiful garden with quite a view. A+

Fabulous location, great house
This cottage was ideal for our family of four. It was bigger than we had imagined since the owner’s description does not make it clear that this cottage is detached. We really benefitted from the extra space and the large garden. We ate out on the large patio area a number of times listening to the birds in the trees. The view out over the valley onto Blakeney Hill is just gorgeous. The house is on a tiny narrow road with almost no traffic on it – mostly locals walking dogs and horses rather than cars. The house is well equipped with dishwasher, washing machine, freezer and microwave and wifi that actually worked! The location was perfect for us with the forest on our doorstep but still easy access to the shops in Lydney

Lovely place to stay in the Forest of Dean. Very cosy and well equipped. Could do with a bit of updating. Would well recommend.
