And I'd love some insight into the address, as I'm finding it hard to track the places online (I'm in Scotland.)

This Drybrook is the one between Mitcheldean and Ruardean

In 1911 their address is just 'The Hawthorns, Drybrook'

The Hawthorns is an area just to the north of the village centre, on the way to the Euroclydon and Hope Mansell

In 1927 when my grandmother stayed, she said their address was Holly Cottage

Holly Cottage, Hope Mansell , on Star Beech Hill on Ruardean to Howle Hill Road

here's how it is referred to today
Holly Cottage, Starve Beech, Drybrook, GL17 9BJ
the third property heading south east from the (A) marker
