The Downs Reviews

Emma Roberts
This place really surprised us! It's spotless and feels super cosy, like home. The peaceful spot with gorgeous views was perfectand the hot tub was such a treat. The games room kept the teens entertained, plus loads of cool spots nearby to explore.
Emily
The cottage was even better than we imagined. Everything was spot on, from the lovely decor to the well-stocked kitchen. We felt right at home and can't wait to return with the family soon! Absolutely loved it!
Alex
We had a great stay at this spacious house, perfect for our three families to hang out together. The weather was pretty lousy all week, so the games room and hot tub became the highlights, especially for the kids. Unfortunately, much of the area was waterlogged, so we couldn't do much exploring locally, but we did make two trips to the Forest of Dean, about half an hour away, which the children loved, especially the play parks. We also visited the Butterfly Zoo at Symons Yat, which was inside and cosyand enjoyed the maize maze. Overall, a lovely trip!
Emma
The Downs is a gorgeous spot, really perfect for a chill break. We loved how cosy and beautifully decorated the house was, plus the games room was a real treat! Definitely recommending this place to friends and family for a lovely get-together. We had a brill time!
James
The house was perfect for our family celebrating a special birthday. The hot tub and games room kept everyone entertained. Views over the Severn were stunning. We'd definitely come back someday!
