The Old Mill Bake House is a charming property which has been fitted out and equipped to a very high standard. We found it spotlessly clean. Its location gives good access to local towns, tourist attractions and walks in the Forest of Dean located approx 150 yards from the River Wye. Trish and Gary were very welcoming and were the perfect hosts.
Lovely cottage and so well equipped. Really welcoming hosts who left me a lovely cake and Easter egg, as well as fresh milk and eggs. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.

The Bake House is a unique cottage built into the sandstone rock. It has been renovated to a very high standard and is a pleasure to stay in. The bedroom is huge and so well thought through. It opens onto an elevated outside terrace area and has a superb walk in shower. The owners Trish and Gary have added so many extras the kitchen is so well equipped, the smart Tvs have Sky as well as all the streaming services. Homemade cake, wine, eggs from the owners hens, milk on arrival. The area is in a superb location for walking and lots of places to visit nearby. Outstanding.

A lovely cosy, very clean and well equipped cottage. Great decor and additional touches, including Christmas decorations, cake and other goodies.. Ideally situated for exploring Herefordshire, The Wye Valley and the Welsh borders. Fabulous place to stay if you love the outdoors.

Patricia
A wonderful welcome to this lovely property. Everything was spotless and we found all we needed for our self catering break. V. Comfy bed, plenty of storage space especially as we brought far too much ,as usual . V. pleasant decking to enjoy a cuppa or two outside.
Very pleasant stay , Trish and Gary made us very welcome , the house was more than adequate, tidy , comfortable and well designed and very much fit for purpose.
This cottage definitely has the WOW factor! On entering the cottage you can't fail to be stunned by how perfect everything is and the way the cottage has been built incorporating the local geology is impressively amazing! We throughly enjoyed our stay and the location is so convenient for accessing so much to do in the area. The hosts were very friendly and the goodies they left for us was very much appreciated! Although close to the A40 we very quickly zoned it out and it became similar to waves crashing on the beach!! We fully recommend this cottage!
Alexander
The Old Mill Bake House is the perfect place to explore the area around the Wye Valley and the englishwelsh border. . The cottage is charming, well equipped, clean and you immediately feel like home. Trish and Gary are the best hosts one can imagine an were very helpful in every way. If we are back in the area we already know were to stay. Thanks again Trish and Gary for a great time.
Would be nice if more information on items in the cottage, hairdryer, washing machine and dish washer are included but was not aware of these.

We had a wonderful week, lots of walks planned plus some sightseeing. Trish and Gary are very helpful and there if needed. Plenty of info on the local area we have visited before but found the walking info particularly helpful. The walk along Coppett Hill and down to the Wye below Symonds Yat is particularly lovely. Very well equipped, well insulated so cosy and warm. Thank you again. Oh and the cake was delicious.

From arriving to leaving we couldnt find a single fault with the cottage. Everything was to a high standard that made for a comfortable stay. The hosts were a delight to meet as was their neighbour. The location is perfect for exploring the nearby river Wye and the forest too. The outdoor seating area was a very welcome place to relax into the evening when the weather permits.
Absolutely superb, no complaints whatsoever. The venue and accommodation was just what we were looking for. Trish and Gary were brilliant hosts and added some nice touches to make us feel home from home. Thank you
A lovely cottage that was well equipped and very comfortable. Hosts were charming and friendly and welcoming Ideally positioned for many of the local attractions and also handy for a couple of supermarkets. The sun terrace an added bonus.
