Anvil cottage is a comfortable well kitted out out of the way place, easy for a quiet week or so to get away from it all.
The property has all you would need, but if there is anything missing hosts Nigel and Marie who live in the adjoining property are always keen to help.
Spacious , easily large enough for a family of four.
Lovely outside areas including a garden, a hard standing area with table and chairs, a pergola and a secret raised small alcove with table/chairs.
Blakeney is just over a mile away ( where the nearest pub and shop are )so walkable if you are fit, there is a hill to walk up ‘ down first. A couple of supermarkets in Lydney 4 miles away.
Cycling in the Forest of Dean is plentiful, approx 3 miles away.
Easy to switch off from the world for a week here.

Anvil cottage is a spacious and comfortable cottage which is in a great location to explore the Forest of Dean. It is down by the shores of the river Severn but only a short drive in the car to anywhere in the Forest that you want to visit. It's in a quiet hamlet that is very peaceful, the owners have made the garden very attractive with roses, honeysuckle, table/chairs, arbor seat and a lovely seat which swings like a rocking chair. The only downside for us as dog owners was that the garden was not enclosed - I misunderstood the photos and thought it had a back garden, but the garden is at the front of the cottage so open to a driveway shared with the owners and to the (quiet) road. As our young (fast) border collie barks at & chases cars I could not safely use the beautiful garden. The only improvement the owner could make is to make part of the garden secure e.g. the lawn could be made secure with a bit of extra fencing and a gate. I really enjoyed reading about the history of the hamlet & the cottage used by salmon fishermen.

Lovely stay in lovely cottage, a little isolated but very quiet as a result.
Lovely stay in lovely cottage, a little isolated but very quiet as a result. Our collie 'blue' thoroughly enjoyed himself, settled in quickly and loved all he walking nearby. lovely area of England, plenty of sceni walks and interesting places to visit. Would highly recommend thee Rising Sun Inn at moseley green, if you can find it!

Having received a great welcome from our hosts Nigel and Marie, it took us only minutes to settle in for our 3 night stay. The information and reading matter left in the Cottage were first class and gave us so many ideas for “things to do” over the next few days. The location is just perfect - regardless of whether you just want to “chill out” and relax or undertake perhaps something more energetic such as walking and cycling. We have no hesitation in recommending Anvil Cottage. Thank you Nigel and Marie for such a well needed break.

What a gorgeous sweet little place!
This lovely cottage really grows on you and is set in the most beautiful hamlet of Gatcombe. Just a stone’s throw from the cottage are the most incredible views of the Severn.
The owners are right on hand and could not have been more friendly.
If I was pushed for a slight negative it would be that the garden was described as enclosed. It is a beautiful garden for the sole use of the occupier but it isn’t adjoined to the property. It’s just across the (steep) drive. My only reason for mentioning is for dog owners like us that have to keep a very close eye on their wayward furry friends!
However none of that mattered. Our dog loved it as did we!
A beautiful very special spot.

We absolutely loved our stay at Anvil Cottage! The cottage is beautiful and the location is ideal if you are interested in walking (and have a dog like us). We saw a wild boar and her piglets in the forest which was a bonus.
We like to cook and found the kitchen to be well equipped. The beds and sofas are comfy. The double bedroom is huge and twin room is also a decent size.
The owners are lovely and gave us some good tips for walks and local amenities.
We will definitely be booking again. Thank you!
