Description from owner

Description

The Barn is situated within the statutory Forest of Dean in Joyford, set within its own grounds of 6 acres, surrounded by farmland and woodland with direct access to the Forest. It is a scenic, tranquil location accessed from a single track no through lane but surprisingly centrally located for exploring the Forest and surrounding areas. There is a very good pub within 5 minutes walk, a shop / Post Office and Chinese takeaway 0.4 miles away and the nearest town with all amenities is Coleford, 2 miles away.

The property is two storey with 2 bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. The main bedroom is a double and the second bedroom is smaller with a bunk bed. Travel cot and high chair available. This lay out is ideal for families. The downstairs living space is predominantly open plan comprising a kitchen, dining area and lounge along with a utility room and downstairs wet room. Outside is a private enclosed decking area and a private garden with hot tub.

The Barn provides an ideal base for walking and cycling, with many tracks accessible from the door and a drop off / pick up service offered if required. Other outdoor activities nearby include canoeing, riding, caving, fishing and golf. Local attractions such as Puzzlewood, Perrygrove, Clearwell Caves, Go Ape, Symonds Yat, Dean Heritage Museum to name but a few are all within a 5 mile radius.

Further details

A welcome pack containing tea, coffee, sugar, milk, bread, eggs and butter is standard. Well behaved dogs are welcome by prior arrangement, we expect you to clean up after them, keep them under control and not let them on the beds - £10 per dog per stay. We are not a working farm but resident animals include dogs, horses, fish, chickens, ducks and sheep. Guests are welcome to explore the farm but do so at their own risk. Children must be supervised when not in the areas designated to the let.

Further details indoors

The main bedroom has a king size bed. The second bedroom has a full size bunk bed. The bathroom has a large bath with shower above, WC and wash basin. Downstairs is open plan with a large kitchen, dining area and lounge. Also a utility room including a wet room with power shower, WC and wash basin.

Further details outdoors

The decking area has garden furniture for al fresco dining and a BBQ. There is a hot tub in the garden - available unless very cold weather - only plastic glasses for use in the hot tub, guests must supply their own towels for outdoor use and children must be supervised whilst using hot tub.

There is an area where bikes / kit or dogs can be washed off.

Locked undercover storage is available for bikes.

“Family, farm and forest ”

Reviewed 5 May 2022

We had a wonderful time here celebrating my 50th birthday. Sarah couldn’t have been more helpful and we fell in love with the scenery we saw - from forest views to peaceful rivers; ancient ruins of castles and abbeys and beautiful lanes with wild flowers at either side. The hot tub was the perfect way to end each day and we would definitely love to return.
