Settle into our beautiful cottage in the Forest of Dean, where the landscapes of Parkend and its surrounding woodland create a tranquil backdrop for your stay. Positioned just 5.5 miles from Cinderford, this beautifully presented two-bedroom escape sleeps up to four guests and forms part of a charming terrace of traditional forest cottages. From the doorstep, you can step straight onto scenic cycling routes and woodland footpaths, making it an ideal base for walkers, bikers and anyone keen to experience the natural beauty of the Forest of Dean.
Outside, the cottage features a lovely garden complete with a wildlife pond—a haven for birdwatchers and nature lovers. Inside, a wood burner creates a warm, inviting atmosphere during the colder months, while summer brings opportunities to enjoy the peaceful outdoor spaces. Whatever the season, this delightful Forest of Dean holiday accommodation offers a memorable retreat surrounded by forests, wildlife and countless outdoor activities.
The rear entrance leads into a practical boot room with storage for coats and walking gear, as well as a useful WC. From here, the spacious kitchen/diner becomes the main gathering place of the cottage. Equipped with everything required for a comfortable self-catering break—including a stove, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine—the kitchen makes mealtimes easy and enjoyable. On sunny days, you can open the door to the garden and enjoy the fresh woodland air as you dine.
After days spent exploring the forest, the cosy lounge offers the perfect spot to unwind. An external door allows a gentle breeze to flow through the room in warm weather, while the wood burner adds a comforting glow on cooler evenings. Relax with a film, dive into a good book or enjoy games with family and friends. Upstairs, guests will find two inviting bedrooms—a restful double room and a calm twin room—along with a family bathroom featuring a bath with an overhead shower.
The garden provides a peaceful setting for alfresco meals or a quiet drink at the end of the day. Sit back with a glass of wine and listen to the soft sounds of birdsong as you enjoy the serenity of the Forest of Dean.
