Thank you so much for a lovely stay, it was the perfect getaway. Everything provided for a couple of nights. The outside fire pit was a favourite and wood was provided. The outside kitchen and bathroom area had everything you needed and was beautifully decorated. There was no enclosed space directly by the shepherds hut for our dog, but there was aRead moren enclosed field a few meters away that we could use. Would deffo recommend!! Hide

Absolutely fantastic place to get away from it all. You can snuggly up in front of the stove thanks to the plentiful fire wood provided and never leave or alternatively use this lovely hut as a base to plan adventures into the Forest of Dean from.

We had a wonderful weekend stay at The Star Gazer. It was just what we needed- cozy and relaxing. The hut is in a private field. There is an undercover building which has a mini kitchen and toilet/shower. Under this is an old gypsy wagon which we loved. The Host Louise was very accommodating and friendly. She gave us milk and firewood on arrival. TRead morehere are deer's on site, an orchard walk and a tennis court. Overall a highly recommended stay! Thank you, we would definitely visit again. Hide

Great and simple place.... We were given a lovely welcome by Louise, and then uninterrupted for our stay. The hut and kitchen has all the basics, we loved having the little firebox in the hut, just what we needed. And the outdoor fire pit was well used and loved. We had a lovely walk through the town, and a walk through the first at the back of theRead more property, very pretty and seemingly ancient. Hide
