Description from owner

Description

Situated in the heart of the Wye valley, our newly refurbished, Old Forge Cottage offers the perfect location for your countryside escape. Our spacious cottage offers you the comfort of a double bedroom with an adjoining bathroom and a twin bedroom with an en-suite shower and toilet. As well as this we offer a comfortable living area with log burner, a kitchen for those cosy winter evenings.

We are ideally situated for walking and cycling. With many local attractions nearby you will be greeted with an abundance of opportunities to explore the area. The historic cathedral towns of Hereford, Worcester and Gloucester are all situated within an hour's drive.

There is ample parking outside the property but more is available if needed. We have a car-port area that can be used for storage of cycles and other outdoor equipment. We can provide a travel cot and high chair if requested, please let us know at the time of booking. The cottage is all on one level with only a small lip on the threshold to the property. All bedding and towels are included. A simple welcome pack is also provided on arrival.

We have a strict no smoking policy for the cottage.

We welcome dogs all year round but please do contact us if you wish to bring a dog.

“A few days away!”

Reviewed 5 May 2021

Upon arrival Rowena and Declan made us very welcome and this continued throughout our 4 day stay. Nothing was too much trouble for them and we also got to meet their adorable little Border Terrier. The cottage was homely and spacious and an excellent base to explore the local area and beyond. Fresh homemade scones upon arrival and a great log fire to come back to after a day out and about were great. We would definitely come back here again and would recommend a stay here if you’re looking for a rural retreat near to Symonds Yat, the Forest of Dean,Ross on Wye and other places in the area. Thank you both, Ron and Lindsay.
