Staff very friendly and helpful. It was really cold and the shower block was properly warm with lots of hot water. Also had a drying room for wet boots, coats etc, which was useful. Footpaths were very wet and slippery so we walked into St Briavels along the road. It's about a mile and it's a fast road with surprisingly a lot of traffic, hence the four stars for the location.

Things to do on site and in the Lydney area
Surrounded by stunning countryside, fascinating attractions and within easy reach of the coast, you will truly be spoiled with things to keep you busy.
Just five minutes away you will find Puzzlewood, made famous for being the location where Merlin, Doctor Who, Star Wars: The Force Awakens and much more were filmed. The woodland is full of trails and wildlife, perfect for a day of exploring for all of the family.
Clearwell Caves are also just a five minute drive away, here you can explore nine caverns and even try your hand at caving. You can earn the history of thousands of years of mining, and even spot a bat flying overhead.
Symonds Yat Rock (15 minutes) sits 120 metres above the River Wye. The perfect challenge for keen climbers who can enjoy stunning panoramic views across the valley when they reach the top.
If you're wanting to enjoy a day out at the beach, there are plenty to visit within an hour's drive. Severn Beach (30 minutes) enjoys stunning views over to South Wales, great for walks along the shore. Or, if you would rather a day of swimming and rock pooling then Portishead Beach (45 minutes) is a wonderful day out.
