Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
"A great spacious house for our group to explore the local area."
We received a warm welcome from the Golden Lion pub in Cinderford too

"A very welcoming property."
The upstairs shower pressure was rather low.
We were amused by the upside down wall light in the dining room. Not that anything could be done about the parking size area but manoeuvrability was awkward for larger cars. The size of the house was really good for a larger number of guests. The welcome pack was very much appreciated.

"Cinderford is a quiet town on the edge of the forest."
Every single person we encountered or even just said good morning to was kind and welcoming. We had a big group and were getting ready for a wedding - the house has lots of rooms and bathrooms! I think some of the things in the house are just different than what we are used to —that didn’t make them wrong! Showers and water pressure are smaller but that’s the fun of being away from home! There are views for miles and Forest of Dean was so close. Touring east takes an hour to most places on the other side of the river. We went to Westonbirt, Cotswold Villages and Stratford Upon Avon. Off street parking at the house was a huge win. It’s worth a try!

In 26 years of walking holidays with friends this house has topped the list. Not the best location but we enjoyed all the forest walks quite near by.

"Property convenient for eating out and walking in the Forest of Dean."
Very spacious and well equipped, lovely and clean on arrival. Plenty of parking spaces. Only negative issue wld be water pressure on electric shower could be better but wldnt put us off stopping there. Would recommend as a great place to stay!
Thanks Colin
Not sure what I can do regarding water pressure upstairs It is a gravity fed system. Maybe install a pump or change it all to a pressurised system. May look at that over the winter
Thanks for your kind comments and hope you had a great stay.

"There were workmen next door to the property who were very loud in the mornings and we had to clear plaster, nails etc from the seating area and could not sit out during the day."
The water pressure upstairs was very poor and for a couple of days we could not use the shower downstairs, this was rectified once we contacted the owner.
Otherwise the property was fine, clean and well equiped

"Beautiful property."
Not enough comfortable seating for number of people staying. Kitchen very well equipped. Very little outside space and we were not able to use it as builders working on property next door had scaffolding over our seating area and every day we had to clean up nails and debris that they had dropped onto it. Fencing at front of seating area, not very secure and a drop of approx 6ft on the other side so extra care to be ta\ken if children in your party.
Despite not being able to use the outside seating area during the day, we had a good holiday and the owner was very attentive and always available for any issues.

"Lovely big comfy property."
A tremendous amount of kitchen/dining equipment . Only problem really was the size and power of the shower units. The property itself shone out like a beacon in its surroundings.
Hi Peter
Thanks for your feedback.
I'm a bit confused when you criticise the showers. The two stand alone showers are standard size and standard electric showers. You are the first person to point out there may be an issue. I've stayed in many hotels where the showers may have a large area to stand in (in a room with no bath), but the power of the shower is poor, ie water saving shower heads.
We supply our phone number and try to be available for any problems that inevitably occur, however we never received a call.
I do appreciate that some guests have different expectations than others, this is natural, however we are not a high level hotel and do not charge as such. I'll be honest, the scores you gave are a little disappointing, but they're your honest views so fair enough.
Regards
Paul and Louise

We had a very comfortable stay and were pleased to be able to invite family over for Sunday lunch without this breaking any rules. The kitchen was fairly well equipped but could do with the addition of a large deep roasting tin. Particularly enjoyable, was the balcony accessed from the lounge and overlooking the Forest of Dean. A nice, dog friendly, family oriented home and a great venue for multiple games of hide and seek.
