Lodge Barn, Forest of Dean - sleeps 18 guests in 9 bedrooms

Lovely place, with plenty of space for all 17 of us. Check in was easy, and we were grateful for the little extras that were left for us on arrival. Everything you need for a big party of you (cups, plates, glasses etc)Sightly disappointed in the rooms though. The downstairs rooms all smelt of sewage, not sure if the septic tank was due to be emptied but it wasn't pleasant! Also found that the property needed a really thorough clean. A lot of cobwebs, dust and the floors in the bathrooms hadn't been cleaned in a while.....we wiped a few of them and the tissue came up very dirty.I appreciate its a big property, and probably takes a while to do a clean/changeover but when you see that amount of dust and cobwebs it just makes you feel like the whole place is dirty.It would be great if there was some kind of structure over the hot tub, so it could be used in all weathers as we had very heavy rain while we were there, so it wasn't that enjoyable - especially when you are paying extra to use it.

Group of 15 adults and 3 children We had a nice stay at Lodge Barn which is a lovely, well equipped space. The games room is brilliant, we used it a lot. We loved that there was enpigh space for everyone to spread out and do their own thing. The ourdoors space is also fantastic. The kitchen was well equipped, although for a grouo our size who had all meals in the house, we could have done with an additional fridge. The beds were comfortable and bathrooms had everything we needed. Slightly earlier check in and later check out would have been ideal. We do a family break every year and this is the first one where we found the check in time a bit late and check out time a bit early for a group our size. Overall, we would recommend the house. It has everything you need for a lovely break.

Overall, a decent stay at Lodge Farm. Great overall indoor and outdoor space and private enough for a small family gathering. Shower and bedroom availability were, overall, great. Beds were very soft and uncomfortable and the venue could do with an additional fridge and a deeper clean.
