Had a very lovely and much needed break away at Dovetail.
The cottage itself was really nice - it was very much appreciated to arrive somewhere where even the basics such as tea bags, washing up liquid and some condiments were available along with a bottle of wine and chocolate biscuits! Nice outdoor space with beautiful views (fabulous for star gazing on a clear night). Heads up if you have young children as the gates are open straight on to a busy A road (I'm sure you could close the gates!). Glorious weather definitely helped a stay away in the middle of a pandemic when we weren't sure what would or wouldn't be open. The Forest of Dean was only about 20 minutes drive away, Gloucester the same. We also visited Westbury Court Gardens (National Trust) less than 10 minutes drive away which was nice and had a short river walk from there (Westbury-On-Severn itself has nothing apart from a pub and church!). We went up well equipped with meals ready to heat so can't comment on local pubs, restaurants or take aways. There were big supermarkets all short drives away. WiFi would have been useful. Would normally scoff at such a suggestion when on a holiday, but being self employed did need to do a level of work whilst away so my data took a hammering! As already mentioned, do be mindful if you have young children who could easily escape out of the gates if left open. The driveway can be easily missed too and you are turning in to it off a fast main road so do be careful of tailgating drivers behind. We used the bus shelter opposite as a point of reference! Thank you for a grand stay in a lovely, homely cottage. Perfect for the three of us.

This is a lovely little place which is comfortable and clean.
The view from the back is very picturesque and it is good having the rear patio with doors opening onto it - it gets the afternoon sun as well. We could let our dog out that way for a wander. There were dog bowls in the cottage. There was a bottle of wine in the fridge when we arrived, a nice touch. The kitchen area is very serviceable as is the shower/toilet, there's always plenty of hot water. The location is really between Minsterworth and Westbury-on-Severn. It takes about thirty five minutes to walk to Westbury. There is a first class pub with quality menu (The Lyon Inn) in Westbury- go there. The nearest pub, some fifteen minutes easy walk, is The Severn Bore which is like a local in character and basic pub grub can be had there. Both places are dog friendly and with good beer gardens. We'd recommend that anyone staying at The Dovetail brings some food supplies as there are no shops around at convenient distance although there is a premier with a limited choice attached to a nearby Esso petrol station as well as a pricey specialist food outlet just opposite the petrol station. There are no shops in Westbury. If anyone thinking of staying here has a need for internet access - there isn't wi-fi, okay for the likes of me but not for some. We had a cracking stay at Dovetail, the four nights went too quickly. It was good value and is a good base for walkers and anyone wishing to visit the Forest of Dean. I'd recommend it.

We liked the village location of Swan View cottage and its proximity to Lechade on Thames with its pubs, cafes and shops.
A pint of milk and a bottle of wine were left for us on arrival which was appreciated. The overall standard of accommodation at the cottage is good. The lounge, kitchen and dining areas are all a decent size and tastefully decorated. The cottage also benefits from a pleasant and a neat garden with seating. Thereâs also a conservatory which is a lovely place to relax. The cottage is reasonably well equipped, but there was no toast rack, or shaver socket in the bathroom. Only one hand towel was provided, luckily we brought a couple of our own. The freezer needed defrosting and the kettle needed descaling. On the negative side the bathroom was in dire need of a refresh, we were told that there are plans to do this. The shower riser rail is too low and the bathroom window is a poor fit and is draughty. Parking on the drive could be an issue for some as there is an awkward slope which makes it difficult to reverse onto; made worse by the cottage being on a bend restricting visibility. There was no information pack providing the usual useful information you would normally expect; details of local shops, GP, vet, hospital, local amenities, pubs, public transport etc. There was no fire escape plan either which is a serious omission and which needs to be remedied. Overall we felt the cottage was quite good but could be a lot better if the above issues were addressed.

We had a nice stay here recently.
The property was spacious enough for us (two adults, one child and two dogs). It was well equipped by the owner and had some thoughtful additions. Like the listing mentions, the property is on a main 50mph road which meant the traffic was noisy well into the night. It didnât matter to us but some might find it too much. Despite being a dog friendly property, I would not say that the outside area is secure. Smaller dogs could easily get under the main gate onto the busy road. Fortunately Iâd taken a long-like lead for one of ours. A couple of things would have improved our stay - *the lawn had not been cut for a while. It was quite long so not suitable for our child to play on. Some dog faeces was also found in the grass so we picked it up when we arrived * the ventilator fan in the bathroom began banging loudly after being on a few mins. *the double fire doors were hard to open without reasonable force We had plenty to do in the area and would recommend the following: *the cafe at Birdwood Garden Centre * The Forest Of Dean walks * the view from Symonds Yat * Gloucester Cathedral (although the town centre was run down, the cathedral was beautiful) * Monmouth * Gloucester Quays for lunch Thank you for sharing your property with us

We have loved our stay at Dovetail.
It is really peaceful and relaxing. The cottage is provided with everything you could need and quite spacious. It was lovely to wake up to the cows every morning and watch the sunrise. Nice touches of tea, coffee, sugar, wine and a few other bits readily available, thank you! We all had showers every evening after exploring and it did the trick, but itâs not very powerful. Things are a bit mismatched and dated, this did not matter to us, but it would to some. The gate, with the sleepers, is fantastic to keep the dog safe, she loved having space to explore and we could relax knowing she was safe. The road is a 50mph road and extremely busy through the day, however it did not once disturb our sleep or become noticeable when relaxing, itâs constant background noise. The views and immediate surroundings are beautiful. Unfortunately my car broke down while there, but we were saved by the bus stop 1min walk away on either side of the road, this was an excellent service on time both ways, £2 each for any distance journey. Gloucester town is a lovely place to explore with a magnificent cathedral, lots of history and shops. A family of 3 generations and a dog have had a very nice break, we were sad to leave. Thank you
