Oak Lodge

Oak Lodge is in a great location for exploring the wye valley and forest of dean.

Very comfortable lodge with lots of space. Nice place to come back to after a day out.

Needing a property between Ross and Gloucester for the purposes of caring for unwell relatives, Oak Lodge was perfect, not only our convenience but also providing some comfort and calm between responsibilities.

There are some basic improvements that could be made, but the main issue we had was the tree that sticks out into the parking space. The space will barely hold two vehicles as described, but the tree makes it very difficult to get into the space without scratching the vehicle. Remove or severely trim back this tree and it would be fine. No instructions for the oven, don't do what I did and put it on grill to cook a pizza..... Little to no information for the property itself in the guest book, and local information also limited (not a problem for us as used to live in Ross). The TV in the bedroom did not work, we gave up trying. The freesat was rubbish, and would only pick up channel 5, but at least the streaming services worked, and we only encountered one issue with general internet connection. Thankfully we didn't have any issue with EE coverage in that area. These and some other issues aside we would happily give Oak Lodge a 5 star rating, but can only give it four. We would however be more than happy to stay here again, and would recommend Oak Lodge to others, especially if you want quiet, and quick access to the countryside. Thank you Oak Lodge for a great stay.

ideal location to visit many different attractions.

Adjacent pub has excellent food. Quiet relaxing location holiday location

Had a wonderful stay at your lodge.

Had a bit of difficulty parking our car as trees were rather close to the parking space. Beds are very comfortable and flowers and chocolates very nice welcome. Will hopefully come again thankyou.

We had a lovely stay at Oak lodge.

Property was perfect. Very comfortable and clean. It had everything you need for a perfect stay.

Great Lodge and facilities , peaceful and relaxing retreat space , location great walks to Woods, privacy and parking, thank you.

We really enjoyed our stay in Oak Lodge, it was spotlessly clean, had everything we could need for our break and is in such a lovely, peaceful setting.

We will definitely recommend you to friends hand family.

Beautiful lodge ,comfortable and clean , very peaceful and a perfect setting.

We were looking for a quiet escape and boy did it deliver.

An absolute gem. The lodge is light and airy with all the facilities you could ask for. The location is in a lovely quiet, quaint, quintessential English hamlet! With walks in the woods directly behind the lodge and and a lovely English pub on your doorstep (although we didn't get to eat there - I would recommend booking ahead of your visit). We are definitely considering going back.

Everything that was needed was provided , spotlessly clean .

lovely location and great food in the pub Alison and staff made us welcome and couldn’t ask for more a lovely holiday.

We had a lovely time, beautiful quiet surroundings.

The lodge was everything we wanted and as advertised. Lovely local pubs. Places of interest a little further to go, but worth the extra drive, just to stay in such a lovely place. Thank you.

Lovely lodge.

Spotless and well equipped. Fab food in Glasshouse next door.

We had a nice stay at Oak Cottage.

Clean and spacious. We had a problem with the double doors in the property on our first day . . One of them wouldn't lock. Informed Alison first thing Monday morning . The maintenance man couldn't come out til 8am Tuesday morning . We didn't like leaving it unlocked from Sunday night through til Tuesday morning , we had no choice but to get up early on Tuesday morning to let the workman in . We unfortunately didn't find the location very peaceful . The pub extraction fan was going all day and all night also lots of strimming and mowing just not very peaceful it's a shame . It was a nice touch having picnic tables adjacent to the lodges . We had to sit there because it was really shady on the veranda. The picnic tables lasted 48 hours of our hoilday then they were taken away for some reason . Parking was very tight . We have an estate car not sure u could get 2 cars on .

Excellent lodge just as advertised, nice peaceful location and the owner was very friendly and approachable Great place to unwind

Really loved oak lodge .

Everything was as advertised .Great facilities couldn't ask for more .When we had a family emergency the owner did all she could to help .We would highly recommend. Lovely area ,nothing new to us we lived in the Forest of Dean all our lives until moving to Hertfordshire..Thank you

Booked last minute as our previous accommodation let us down, absolute blessing in disguise.

.wow! what a place, great communication with Alison and everything we needed was there, the pictures do not do it justice. Spacious, warm, clean and in a beautiful location really couldn't have asked for anything better and will definitely be booking again :)

Booked at the very last minute and didn’t realise the pub would be closed all week.

Never mind, the accommodation absolutely made up for it. Everything we could possibly need during our stay in Oak Lodge. Setting of the lodges was beautiful also the surrounding area too.

Oak Lodge is a beautiful, spacious and well-equipped place to stay in a quiet hamlet.

I stayed for a long weekend with my elderly parents. As everything was on one level and parking right outside it made our stay very easy and enjoyable. The lodge has everything you need, with plenty of space and storage. In fact we thought the photos didn't do it justice and it was much larger than expected! The kitchen and bathrooms are clean, modern and very nicely laid out. Bedrooms very elegant and comfortable with walk in wardrobes and extra bedding available. The gorgeous village pub (Glasshouse Inn) right beside the lodge is owned by the lodge owner, which serves amazing food. We actually had 2 meals there over the weekend because it was so lovely and had a fantastic menu. Lots of fish choice too. The only reason I didn't give Accuracy of listing a 5 star is because Sykes told us there were steps up to the property when I rang to ask about accessibility. When we arrived there were no steps, just a small ramp. We nearly didn't book this lodge because of this misinformation as my mom uses a walker and struggles with steps. But as we were finding it hard to find somewhere she said she'd manage. We were delighted to find there were no steps! I highly recommend this property.

Oak lodge is set in a lovely quiet location.

Very comfortable and spacious accommodation,lovely and clean. Alison the owner very friendly and obliging Situated in ideal location for visiting Ross-on-Wye,Hereford and Symonds Yat We stayed with friends and had a great week at Oak lodge

It was such a beautiful cabin so much space.

The only bit to let it down was no instructions for all the appliances We had a really great time

Bedding at the lodge was awful, sheets did not fit, pillows so flat we needed three.

A toilet roll in each bathroom no extras, no instructions for any appliances no DVDS in all a very badly equipted lodge. Pub next door does an expensive menu inside but the more basic menu you can only eat in the garden some thing I have never found before and I have worked in pubs eating in the garden should be the customers choice. For people that say they are very experienced they don't do it very well

Booked this as a chilled relaxed week away with my adult children.

It was exactly that - peaceful no street lighting. We chilled and did some exploring in the surrounding area - Gloucester cathedral and the forest of dean amongst our favourites.

Was a great stay and I went with my two teenage children an their cousin and we all thoroughly enjoyed our holiday it’s a little gem.

The only thing was the advert says three bathrooms and there is only two. Apart from that we would all book again. Thanks.

The lodge was very clean and comfortable.

Everything we needed for a quiet stay in the country.

Well appointed, comfortable and clean lodge in a great location, with beautiful walks on the doorstep.

We had great weather and so it was nice to be able to sit out on the deck and enjoy the sun. Unfortunately the adjacent pub was not open at the time we visited, but we found an alternative a few minutes drive away. About the only downside was access to the parking space, it was a bit tight to get into and not sure I'd want to try it with a large car.

The lodge was well presented and in a lovely spot, but one thing was missing - information.

There was no booklet available which detailed local amenities, places of local interest, details of how to use the appliances within the lodge that we are not used to, Various appliances were not working upon our arrival - tv in the bedroom, ( somebody did call but unable to fix and never saw him again) cooker hob ( only one ring in operation) and had to contact owner for details, insuffient towels left for our use during our stay, ( this was rectified after a phone call to the owner) All these things should have been sorted and up and running prior to our arrival. Other than the above we enjoyed our stay in the area.

Lovely high quality lodge in a great location for walking and visiting local towns.

Owner was extremely helpful on arrival as were delayed for our food delivery slot No major issues at all and highly recommended We would suggest a pair of oven gloves would be helpful plus some information about the local area and attractions ( we left some tourist leaflets and walking routes for other guests) also some info about using the TV and cooker would be useful

Highly recommended!

Quiet place, very complete.

Lovely lodge with loads of space in a nice setting.

. one issue was that the Sykes listing details a pub within a mile of the lodge.. we were disappointed that the pub had been shut for sometime with no immediate plans to reopen... Sykes really should amend the listing to take this into account

The property was very clean and very comfortable.

Felt at home straight away.

The property was excellent.

The only fault my son found was lack of phone signal, however, the free wifi helped to compensate for this. The accommodation was clean, comfy and spacious in a great location with the the added bonus of the pub very close by.

Beautiful location.

The accommodation was top quality and thank you we had a lovely relaxing weekend .

Lovely lodge had everything for a great stay

Very impressed with the lodge.

Very spacious. Nothing wrong and no recommendations required

Great lodge and location, just a bit hilly to walk around the area for me.

Washing machine would be useful if staying for more than a week. Large kitchen but most cupboards had little in them. Lovely pub and food but closed 3 days a week. Pleased we did not visit in the warmer weather as sleeping with the windows open would not be possible due to the noise of the pub kitchens extractor fan going 24/7.

A very comfortable lodge, sitting outside can be a bit noisy due to the kitchen exhaust fan from the nearby pub.

Pub food was very good but closed Sunday evening and all day Monday and Tuesday. This was not a problem as plenty of small shops and takeaways at nearby villages. I would have liked a television in the master bedroom but apart from that a very nice stay at an ideal location to explore the Cotswolds, river wye and Glouscester.

We had a good holiday despite niggles with accommodation.

At first one annoyance is not too bad but as week went on and others were noticed starts to really rattle. The lodge has a lot of blinds which were all very dusty , one ring out of 4 working on hob made challenge cooking , dishwasher needed rinse aid and salt so not always cleaning that well. Some of the issues I could have brought to Alison’s attention at time but for most of week we had no phone signal or internet so communication with anyone including Alison not easy . We were advised internet was area problem and not just at our premises but when wanting to research next days destinations check routes mileage etc very frustrating. We would not choose to re visit

The owners were very welcoming and even left us a bottle of wine and milk to help us settle in.

A wonderful stay - would definitely recommend.

Quiet, comfortable lodge, rural location but lots of places to visit fairly close by.

Pub was shut, which we were only made aware of a few days before our stay. The pub and lodges are under new ownership.
