Beautiful views

We had a lovely stay in Lydney, our host Michelle was on hand for check-in and if needed throughout our stay. The chalet was comfortable and clean, very spacious and the views were stunning, plenty of space for our dog ( 2 designated fenced off areas for her to run around ) no WiFi but it wasn’t a major problem, would maybe put a small lamp in lounge area as lounge lights a bit bright for the evening, when your winding down. Overall was a lovely couple of days 😊😊

About the host

Hosted by The Dodson Family

The Dodson family are a hard working and welcoming family. Michelle, Steve and Carole all live onsite in the Farmhouse with their much loved menagerie of dogs, cats, duck, chickens and ponies.

Why they chose this property

The Dodson Family brought this property as a run down small holding in desperate need of attention. It was essentially one big scrap heap, with many environmental enforcement notices against it. The site was very badly damaged and neglected - but the family saw through that and believed with hard work they could bring it back to its former glory. They have spent many years and hours breathing new life into this now stunning site. They are delighted to be able to share our journey with you and show you what they have achieved!

The site is home to holiday apartments, a campsite, fishing lakes, a dog training school and an events venue - all dog friendly. So this is especially an ideal site if you are looking for a dog friendly place to stay.
