Charming rural cottage in the heart of the Forest of Dean
We've just had a wonderful 3 night stay in this beautiful old cottage. We had a warm welcome from Val (and Sooty!) and it was very well equipped for a family of 5 and also allowed dogs. There are some lovely things to do in the area, none of which were too far away - Puzzlewood, Clearwell Caves, Cannop ponds, Symonds Yat, Beechenhurst sculpture trail and cycle trails galore! A great few days away and we'd love to return! There is also a second cottage across the courtyard which sleeps 9, so perfect for a larger group looking to stay together.

Thank you for leaving the cottage so clean and tidy. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to seeing you again.
A lovely cottage in a beautiful area. We stayed for 3 nights but wished it could have been longer, the walks from the cottage were fantastic and there is so many other things we wished we'd had time to do while we were there. Valerie is a lovely lady, who went out of her way to be helpful and friendly.

Why they chose this property
Situated on the western border of the beautiful Royal Forest of Dean in the Wye Valley and within walking distance of the delightful village of St. Briavels, the area offers so much history with the neighbouring castles, and attractions in the Forest. It would be difficult to rival the beautiful unspoilt landscape designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). From the cottage there are many walks through the woods or down to the River Wye. The famous Offa's Dyke Path runs close by.
Tintern Abbey and the village of Tintern are a short drive of about 3 miles away and we are approximately 6 miles from Monmouth, 4 miles from Coleford and 9 miles for Chepstow.
What makes this property unique
We are also very pleased to have incorporated photovoltaic panels to generate our own electricity and solar hot water heating to supplement the normal electrical system.
