Tucked away in a peaceful woodland landscape, this charming piece of holiday accommodation in the Forest of Dean offers immediate access to miles of ancient forest. Step outside and you’ll find the main family cycle route right behind the cottage, providing a scenic ride to Cannop Cycle Centre—an excellent destination for thrill-seekers eager to tackle exhilarating downhill tracks.
Nature lovers and walkers can follow clearly signposted routes through the forest to Mallards Pike, a picturesque lake brimming with wildlife and home to Go Ape’s treetop adventures. The nearby Wye Valley also offers endless opportunities for outdoor pursuits, including caving, kayaking, riverside rambles and rock climbing. A huge variety of local attractions lie close at hand as well, such as Puzzlewood, Beechenhurst, Goodrich Castle, Clearwell Caves, Hopewell Colliery, the Sculpture Trail, the Dean Heritage Centre, Perrygrove Railway and the Cyril Hart Arboretum.
Located along a small terrace of traditional forest cottages, this rural retreat invites guests to slow down, relax and enjoy the heritage of the area. The entrance sits to the rear of the property and opens into a practical lobby designed to store jackets and muddy boots after a day exploring the Forest of Dean. A handy cloakroom is positioned just off this space. From here, you step into the cottage’s kitchen/diner—a warm and characterful room furnished with classic pine pieces that enhance the welcoming feel.
The kitchen is thoughtfully equipped with everything needed for a self-catering escape, including an electric oven, hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. Cupboards are stocked with colourful crockery and all the utensils required for preparing home-cooked meals. A dining table for four sits comfortably within the room, paired with a pine dresser decorated with vintage tins and a traditional cake stand, adding to the timeless charm of this Forest of Dean holiday accommodation.
