No notes, everything was perfect! I only wish I knew how to keep my own house as lovely (and spider-free!) as this one.

This is the perfect combination of history and comfort — the house is beautiful and the garden is picturesque, and the suite of rooms where you stay is beautifully set up and decorated to be both modern and comfortable but still in keeping with the old feel of the home. The owner Kay and her partner Ian were so kind and welcoming, they went above and beyond to ensure we had a good stay. It’s an excellent location for everything in the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley, and so close to Wales and Gloucester. Really this place is not to be missed!

The hosts were exceptional and Kay was fantastic when our car broke down - nothing was too much trouble and she kept us cheerful

I couldn’t find fault with anything, it really was spot on!

Kay was so kind and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. The rooms were lovely and welcoming, the breakfast was delicious and perfectly prepared. Everything went smoothly with our stay and the Vicarage is the perfect place to relax and use as a base.

The Old Vicarage B&B is very interesting with an eclectic mix of antique furnishings. the hosts are excellent providing guests with a tasty breakfast and a feeling of bygone life coupled with a wide range of knowledge about the surrounding area of The Forest of Dean.

Lovely old house with lots of fascinating antiques within. Very clean and comfortable. The order for a cooked breakfast was taken at the breakfast table each morning and everything was beautifully cooked.

Nothing. Everything was lovely!

Loved the building and the decor. Wonderful rooms, gorgeous bath. Beautiful surroundings! Kate was incredible and really looked after us when we needed a few bits amending.

Everything. The decor the character and the most fantastic and welcoming host who was quite frankly amazing with my autistic daughter and we all really enjoyed talking to her.

Absolutely nothing

This lovely home is spotless, comfortable and conveniently located within east reach of many of the Forest of Dean highlights. Kay and Ian are extremely friendly and welcoming and did everything they could to make our stay enjoyable. We felt completely at home as soon as we stepped over the threshold! We found The Old Vicarage very reasonably priced, particularly as it included a delicious cooked breakfast. Highly recommended!

It’s a vicarage so it’s next to the church and some might be bothered by the hourly bells (I didn’t notice them).

We brought an American friend here during a weekend walking in the Wye valley. The vicarage is a striking and characterful house in a perfect location for visiting the Wye Valley. The suite was comfortable (particularly the beds), breakfast was great and Kay is a friendly and helpful host. There’s a pub with food 5mins walk away so we didn’t have to use the car in the evening (although we gather there is a pub with ‘superior’ food a short drive away).

We cannot think of anything we didn't like while staying here.

My wife and I really loved this B&B. It was a very beautiful place. My wife especially liked the decorations and surroundings. Our host, Kay, was great and accommodated all of our needs. She also had good recommendations for dining and sites to see. Breakfast each morning was prepared exactly how we liked it. My wife and I were very happy we stayed here.

What a gem. This place is well hidden. If you get there , you will be shocked how great it is ! Loads of space, clean rooms, quiet area. This is a 1 apartment to rent only, so the service is very personalised. You feel very well looked after.
