Spacious, comfortable, peaceful spot with, everything we could need and more. The board games and books to read were a lovely touch, as was the cream tea welcome. Being able to see wildlife from the windows was also a bonus, seeing squirrels play in the morning was lovely. Thank you for such a lovely stay.

The Retreat at Greenfields is a lovely holiday home. It's well equipped and furnished to a high standard. It was very clean and had everything we needed for our one week stay. The bed was comfortable with nice bed linen and there was plenty of towels. The cottage adjoins the owners home and the outlook from the dining area is over the large lawned Read moregarden. There is ample off road parkimg at the side of the property which sits on a quiet road leading out of the village. Hide

Excellent accommodation having everything you could possibly need. Welcome pack of milk, flowers and a most incredible scones, jam, cream and strawberries greeted us on arrival. The owners were brilliant and very helpful. We saw deer in the garden on one day which was brilliant. We hope to visit again next year.

Beautiful spot for a holiday. Cottage well appointed, comfortable, clean, peaceful all you need. For us it was a perfect place to base our holiday. Forest of Dean, Gloucester, Chepstow, Monmouth, Raglan, walks, castles, cathedrals plenty to keep you occupied. At the end of the day a peaceful place to chill out. Highly recommended.
