Wye Valley Forest Retreat: Secluded Cottage which sleeps six & dogs very welcome

A guest recently commented: "We were blown away by how stunning both the views and the cottage is; having seen the photos on the website, we knew it was going to be gorgeous, but being there in reality took it to a whole new level, it's so peaceful and serene".

Perched high in the Royal Forest of Dean, with breath-taking views across the Wye Valley & Brecon Beacons, an intimate but spacious Cottage for up to 6 people & their dogs; outside, you'll find a huge, private, decking with Hot Tub & Sauna.

Our Forest Retreat is perfect all year round, for those looking for relaxation, adventure; step or cycle into the forest or to the banks of the Wye for splendid walks, canoeing and a host of other activities and fun (+ some great Ale Houses/Pubs!).

Jay, one of our recent guests, said "The cottage embodied so much character and charm and proved to be the perfect getaway; it’s a truly amazing and magical place".

Originally built for a local miner in the 1850's, the Cottage still retains much of it's original charm e.g. thick walls, low ceilings and narrow entrances; but much of it has been refurbished to modern standards, over 5 levels of intimate and deceptively spacious living.

As Emily, a recent guest, said: "A cosy but spacious house which allowed everyone their own space when needed but also fantastic communal areas with beautiful views out of every window."

It's perfect as a base for up to 6 guests, and their dogs, to retreat from the world, but with easy access to a multitude of adventures and fun - we have plenty of ideas if you need them.

It's ideal for couples or friends looking for a relaxing or romantic hideaway.

The lounge has a log fire (logs are supplied), surround sound system and there is access to free wifi, Bluetooth sound system, 'Firestick', DVD player and library of movies.

The huge decking is an absolute delight, with panoramic views of the Wye Valley, or of the stars after dark; complete with Hot Tub, Sauna, BBQ and table/chairs for al fresco dining.

All bedrooms are decorated to a high standard, with good quality beds; Room 1 has a king size bed and a lovely en-suite; Room 2 has a double beds and Room 3 has comfy 'adult size' bunk beds + there's a good quality guest bed for those who don't like heights!

There's a family bathroom, with an excellent 'power shower', an en-suite shower/toilet linked to the king-size bedroom, and a cloakroom/toilet on the ground floor - all have recently been refurbished to a high standard.

The kitchen is very well equipped, together with a 'range' oven, large fridge, washing machine* and microwave; and there's a 'shabby chic' dining room, which opens onto the decking and comfortable sits six people.

All bedrooms, living rooms, dining room and kitchen afford dramatic views of The Wye Valley and beyond.

The Cottage and garden are only overlooked by the birds so you can feel comfortable to relax and kick back in your own private hideaway.

At night, the garden comes to life with fairy tale illuminations; and there is a chiminea to cozy up to.

Comfortable, high quality, furnishings & décor are provided throughout, all reflecting the rustic nature of The Cottage and surrounding area.

Finally, Omar commented "Truly a stunning... the pictures don't do it justice, from the interior of the house to the view, it's all beautiful!"

Thank you to all our guests for their wonderful comments; to new guests, we hope to see you soon!!
