This was a brilliant weekend away at the Lodge open fire , large rooms for the family to play games , cinema room , dog friendly. Had a lovely gift pack of food on arrival. Clean and lovely place would go back again.
Lovely walks with our dogs to the local pub and nice towns near.

What a place brilliant and clean .

What a perfect weekend for our family at this gorgeous lodge - stunning location and beautiful accommodation. Despite being an old house it was so warm, comfortable and very well equipped, welcome package included everything you could wish for - we would definitely recommend and would love to stay there again

Family Birthday celebration

Having read the reviews on Danby Lodge website and others, I knew it was the one for a big gathering of thirteen ladies for a week.

Had a fabulous week, the location was so peaceful and the views amazing. Each morning watching the mist and the beautiful sunrises. Explored the woodlands around and if you are lucky you mught catch the deer running through. Set in its own two acres, within the Forest of Dean, so there was plenty of walks to do and the Sculpture Park is near by very close to GoApe.  

The open fire was a great centre piece and used everyday, there is wood and kindling provided. The kitchen was large with all utensils for a big group and the dining table was big enough for us all. A lovely welcome basket is provided and came in useful till our shopping was delivered, use Ocado as recommended by the team.

As there were alot of film enthusiasts amongst us the cosy cinema room was used all the time, when we were not out walking.

Cosy bedrooms, comfy beds, however, the library room where the sofa bed is, was cold. It does state this on the website, so be aware. Loved the hidden room upstairs behind the door.   

Can imagine being here in summer and using the outdoor space and swimming pool.  
Special  mention to  the  team , Richard, Norman and Jackie.

High recommended.

Fabulous start to 2022 and birthday treat!

This place is amazing. We all got together for my Mum's 80th and arrived from everywhere!! Canada, Morroco, Ireland, Wales and Scotland. Although remote, we found it easily with sat nav. Loved everything about the place and location. Easy kitchen to cook in (okay a slightly challenging oven lol) and well stocked with plates, cutlery etc. Just need a large saucepan for large crowd though. TV room was great with loads of dvds. Very comfy beds, I do agree with one review about bigger towels. Great fun in the games room playing table tennis. Norman the gardener was a gem, bringing wood and an axe when needed. The young uns trudged through the mud and forest to the pub. What a great find and so warm and friendly. The walks around the house and estate were lovely. Coming back to the amazing big log fire was great. Any questions we had of our host were answered promptly. Loved the hamper, a lovely touch. The only negative thing to comment on was, it would have been nice to have the  heat on when we arrived. I know it must cost a fortune to heat that place but just to get rid of the dampness. We had a few older folks and they really felt it. Once the heat is on it's toasty but it takes a long time warming up. All the pubs and resturants recommended were great and the little town of Lydney and the harbour were very enjoyable.

80th birthday party

A fantastic venue with the most breathtaking view! The house is hidden along an off road track in the middle of a forest. 14 of us stayed in the lovely Danby Lodge for the weekend in October. Apart from the sofa bed all the beds where great. The showers were powerful and also lovely and hot. The welcome package is outstanding and the oven was fine to use (after seeing others reviews). It was perfect for our Murder Mystery weekend with lovely warm fire.  We went on a short walk through the woods to The Rising Sun for some pub grub, they were very accommodating for our large party. 

Overall a wonderful weekend stay, the only thing I would say needs to be looked at is the sofa bed (not ideal to sleep on for multiple nights) and larger towels and more glasses needed for guests. I could also see how the deep pond would be an issue for children and dogs. Apart from that we would love to come back in the summer to enjoy the swimming pool.

What A Perfect Stay

This was our second visit to Danby Lodge and we were not disappointed...this beautiful rambling old lodge is located in the middle of the forest and is perfect for a large family group. Lots of space, nice bedrooms and good facilities. We loved using the swimming pool, games room, croquet set, barbecue and mountain bikes (worth taking some basic bike tools to get them fixed as you like them).  Perfect for a big family reunion - highly recommended - we will be booking again for next year.

Beautiful Relaxing Hideaway

Danby lodge is an absolute gem! It is a big old house beautifully furnished with antiques, plenty of space for everyone, a marvellous media room, modern Kitchen, plenty of bathrooms, really everything one could possibly wish for including a most generous hamper to welcome us. And the location....Ah the location!... secluded in the middle of the forest yet with a marvellous view over the valley from the front door and within walking distance of a pub and 10mn drive from the local supermarket...truly amazing, We loved it totally....

Superbe house in amazing location in the Forest

What a stunning time we have had! Margherita's warmth made planning our weekend a pleasure. The house is charming, incredibly comfortable (best beds and pillows ever!) and we even had a glorious hamper to welcome us! The grounds are beautiful with stunning views. A real swimming pool, with a proper deep end! Thankyou for making our family gathering so special. We will definitely return XX

Magical stay at Danby Lodge

What an Amazing, beautiful place, out did our expectations. We stayed for 3 nights in August for a family celebration. It was absolutely brilliant and could not have been more perfect. As a bonus, we have dogs who always holiday with us, and they were able to have just as much fun as we did with plenty of space to run around. Perfect location, very homely and comfortable. We had 10 adults stay and felt there was room to spare.  We will be booking every year now!

Absolutely Brilliant

What a fantastic time we had here. The house and grounds were amazing. Ample room for a large family of 17 including teenagers and toddlers. Scenery was breathtaking with amazing views from the front door and pool area. Far enough out to feel like we were completely isolated from daily life. Facilities were exceptional including a top of the range BBQ and games room including exercise equipment and table tennis table. House was clean and very well kept. Clear instructions for how to operate kitchen equipment, heating etc. Would love to return and wouldn’t change a thing! Thank you Danby Lodge, a weekend full of memories!
