Experience the very best of countryside living by discovering the bustling market town of St Briavels or by walking Offa’s Dyke footpath.

Boasting exposed ceiling beams and plenty of homely touches, the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner offers a warming ambience that invites you to unwind at the end of a busy day.

Great little cottage. Perfect for us and our two dogs. Only downside was there wasn't really anywhere to let them off the lead nearby even though surrounded by fields.

Comfy cottage thats pretty easy to find. Well kitted out kitchenette, and comfy furniture. Heating was okay, though it was cold when we arrived. Shower pressure is very low and need to go through cold porch to get to it. Carpets could do with a clean. Check in/out times are not very forgiving

We loved the Little Barn, which is comfortable with a good range of everyday items. The location, while not affording great views from the building or outdoor area, is peaceful and very convenient for getting to a host of visitor attractions and walks. We loved sitting outside listening to the wide variety of birds.

We loved our stay at The Little Barn. It was a perfect, peaceful getaway - very clean, well equipped and homely. We had our large dog with us, and the space was good for him.

The Little Barn is small but perfectly kitted out. Very comfortable bed and good quality bedding. Good location for Forest of Dean attractions and good for cycling. Only niggle is the outside area which is rather open and stark.
