"Booked from Australia for 13 nights. Rang Sykes from Australia and was told how lovely they were. Booking was for 13 nights. When we arrived from Australia we were disappointed that there was no washing machine as property was described as luxurious and convenient. Asked owner the night we arrived if we could halve the booking as we presumed fully fitted kitchen would include washing machine. I had emailed Mr. Pugh, the owner from Australia stating we were coming for 13 nights and at no stage did he think to mention there no washing machine. Sykes said we could do a round trip of forty minutes driving plus washing time and drive to Ross on Wye to do our laundry. We decided to leave three nights earlier as it was eating into our holiday time. Asked for a refund and was told no. Both Sykes and Mr Pugh are blaming us. We do not think this is how things should be done especially when we are from another country. Fully fitted kitchen to us means washing machine. Every house we have Been in uk seems to have one in the kitchen, Felt totally bullied next day when I had gone into the pub to buy a sandwich for lunch when Mr Pugh approached me and started raising his voice and arguing with me in front of the patrons in the pub at lunch time. I did not order as I felt very humiliated by him. So we booked other accommodation which did have a washing machine and we had more time to enjoy our holiday. I still will be taking this matter further with claims tribunal when we return to Australia. . Wonder if Sykes posted my review as if more people reviews could let others know what to expect or not to expect they could make a better decision. It is not right that only glowing reviews are published."

"Ash Lodge isin a beautiful location and is of a very high standard both decoratively and the quality of furnishings. We stayed with friends, who were in one of the other lodges there too for Christmas, and we all cannot rate the properties highly enough. The pub that serves excellent food is a couple of minutes walk. All the staff and the owner, couldn't have been more welcoming or accommodating to us. The lodges are very well equipped, very warm with all the home comforts you could want. Ideal for a relaxing chill out and the surrounding areas are very picturesque, Ross on Wye and Ledbury are nearby which are well worth a visit and many golf courses in the vicinity if that's your thing. We will return definitely and would thoroughly recommend these properties, and the pub - excellent!!!"

"The Lodge that we stayed in at Glasshouse was wonderful. The rooms were warm, clean and comfortable as was the lounge area. The bathrooms were very clean and the shower was excellent. The Glasshouse Inn was very welcoming and we had several very enjoyable meals there during the course of our stay. We will be back another time to the same site and will highly recommend it to all our friends and family."

"It was stated quite firmly that this is an adult only site. On enquiring, it was ok for our 16 year old Grandson to come with us and stay to help us set up camp and the 5 year old could visit - I emphasised that he was well behaved. The site was very quiet but the lodge was very well furnished and lots of nice touches with some food and storecupboard ingredients were there. I even taught my 16 yr old grandson to play chess with the board there - and we had free wifi... The Owners were very helpful. I find the comments regarding the Pub annoying. The Landlord/owner is not anti children, indeed, we met his Grandchildren who were very well behaved and friendly. I am in a wheelchair/scooter and not ideal for me to get about but I was aware of that before we went. (I am not one of those who feel I need 100% access to everything). The patio area was a sun trap and there were plenty of places to get to in the car. Feel it would be great if you like walking. Plenty of farm shops nearby. Our Family stayed nearby and we met up in the Forest of Dean and many local beauty spots. We will be back."

"Deluxe, spacious and comfortable lodge, hidden in a beautiful landscape with plenty to see and do nearby. We cycled around the Forest of Dean, went horse riding, explored the deep level caves at Clearwell. Visited Gloucester, enjoyed a tour of the Three Choirs Vineyard, were amazed by the show at the International Centre for Birds of Prey, and enjoyed plenty of picturesque walks in the hills around the lodge. The lodge itself was faultless - the perfect base for great holiday and a super place to relax and unwind. "

"The chalet was in excellent order throughout, and in a superb location. It was beautifully quiet, and we were able to have a relaxing time. The nearby pub served excellent food also, so we did not bother with much cooking. The Royal Forest of Dean was within easy reach, by car, and we enjoyed the choice of walks. Our trip to Clearwell caves provided us with another wonderful day out, and was also within easy reach, again by car. We ought to have booked a longer holiday as it was over so quickly!"

"We stayed at ash lodge for three nights and wished we had booked just a bit longer. The accommodation is excellent, contemporary, very airy and spacious with a well equipped kitchen, en suite shower room and further bathroom. The provision of a welcome pack with breakfast essentials was a nice touch, as were the fresh flowers and fruit. The location is on the outskirts of the Forest of Dean, a few miles from Ross on wye, and whilst out in the sticks, with the pub a mere 200m walk away a local meal out was an easy option. Despite being close to the pub, the location was very peaceful. The owners are very helpful and have really put together a very high standard of accommodation. The towels were huge, soft, fluffy and plentiful and the wifi exceptionally good, a pre-requisite in our family with two teenagers. I would not hesitate to recommend glasshouse lodges, they are identically kitted out and decorated so there is little to choose between the three other than top, middle and bottom. Note: children are accepted over 14 years of age only, if yours are borderline contact them directly to discuss."
