The property consists of an open plan living room and kitchen on the ground floor and a spacious double bedroom and bathroom on the first floor. A small outdoor area comes complete with dining table and chairs. There is secure off street parking in the yard behind lockable gates.

Within walking distance are three local pubs, two on the same road as the cottage , and one in the next village of Woolaston, accessable via the main roads or through fields along public footpaths. Also within walking distance or a short two minutes drive is a fantastic Indian restaurant.

The Snug is in a good location to visit the Forest of Dean area and Wales. The hosts are very friendly and helpful and live on site. They have thoughtfully provided everything you need for a short break. It is well presented and although overlooking a main road is quiet and has parking at the rear.

Two week stay

We have just stayed at this amazing place for two weeks, everything you need is provided and nothing is to much trouble. The owners were really helpful and very accommodating as we had to adjust our dates. They regularly asked if we needed anything. The accommodation is everything the photos portray, the location is idea for many activities and days out. We would recommend to anyone planning to stay
