“Good location for walks and for the Forest of Dean.” Dovecote cottage is a nice little place. We were a group of 7 but could easily have slept 9/10. No internet or phone signal in the area but this was what we were after. Good location for walks and short ride to the Forest of Dean. Would recommend if you are looking to get away from it all.
