“We have just returned from a lovely week staying in Skylark.”
The location of the site is ideal for exploring Ross-on-Wye and the Forest of Dean area. All the sites and attractions we visited were within a half hour drive and it was easy to pop into the town of Ross for an evening meal. The site has a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere, although you could still sometimes hear the dull roar of the traffic on the M50 when sat out on the deck or in the garden, not that the noise spoilt our enjoyment. The cabin itself was comfortable and just the right size for us and our two young children. The kitchen was well equipped, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that we were supplied with tea towels, oven mitts, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets etc. There were also complimentary toiletries and even slippers, which was a nice touch! The beds in one bedroom were made into a comfortable super king size double, the second bedroom was made into two singles. However, the single beds were only 2’6 wide and one of my children fell out a couple of times in the night as they are used to 3’ single beds. I think adults would struggle to sleep in one of these single beds but I do appreciate the size of the bedroom dictates the size of the beds. We enjoyed using the hot tub but felt a bit overlooked by the Kingfisher cabin which is right next door. It’s a shame that the hot tub wasn’t sited in the garden area on the deck side of the cabin. At the time of booking, we could have booked any of the log cabins, however if we’d seen a site plan, we would have booked the Mallard cabin. It’s the same size as Skylark but on its own at the end of the lake, so would have been a bit more private and also given our boys a bit more outdoor space to play in. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again or recommend to friends.
