Description from owner

Description

Perched high in the Royal Forest of Dean with breath-taking views across the Wye Valley & Brecon Beacons, an intimate and delightful Cottage.

Most rooms open to a huge decking with integrated Hot Tub & Sauna with amazing views. For an extra touch of luxury, we can also arrange for guests to enjoy a Swedish Massage, Reflexology or other Spa Treatments provided by visiting Therapists.

Perfect as a base for up to 6 guests and their dogs, for a multitude of adventures and exploring - we have plenty of ideas if you need them. It's also ideal for couples or friends looking for a romantic or relaxing hideaway.

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

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

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 'adult size' bunk beds. There's also access to an 'Air Bed'.

The family bathroom has also been completely refurbished, with an excellent 'power shower', and there's a cloakroom/toilet on the ground floor.

The traditional kitchen is well equipped and there's a shabby chic dining room which easily sits six people.

All bedrooms, living rooms, dining room and kitchen have splendid views of The Wye Valley.

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