This stylish bungalow sleeping four guests and one dog, offers fantastic views out to the River Severn from the comfort of the lounge area, as well as from its well-kept garden. The split-level, spacious garden with patio area is a great place to unwind and take in the fresh air. With the heart of the Forest of Dean just 4.5 miles away, outdoor activities are easy to come by. Take on an assault course, try your hand at archery, or head out on one of the many walking trails and let your pooch sniff out the area.

The neutral walls and use of lighting have made the open-plan kitchen/lounge/diner area the hub of this property. Along with its large window bringing in natural light and providing a stunning view, the space offers a great social environment to cook and dine in. The whole property has a contemporary style to it and has been tastefully decorated with a subtle nature theme in keeping with its location. Settle in for the evening on the comfortable sofa and enjoy a family movie. Make the most of the warm summer evenings by firing up the BBQ and dining alfresco, whilst letting your four-legged friend roam freely.

You’ll find a range of shops and local amenities in Cinderford, just 2 miles away, as well as a cinema and an Artspace. A short walk from the property (0.5 miles) is the Littledean Jail Museum. Not for the faint-hearted it states that children under 16 must be accompanied by adults, and solely at the parent's discretion. The quaint village of Newnham on Severn is a short 1.5 miles away and has a charming clock tower, independent shops and scenic walks along the River Severn.

Had a fantastic week at River View. The cottage was clean, comfy and very well equipped and the view from the property across the Severn Valley is stunning. The carport was a real bonus for taking things to and from the car in the dry. Natalie & Mark were perfect hosts - welcoming and helpful without being intrusive. Thank you.

We have stayed before and the standard of this little house remains excellent. It is a comfortable, well equiped property, which has everything you need for a full week or more. I would say that no other property could match this view of the River Severn. We could see the bore from the window. It has easy access and good parking with walks from theRead more door into the forest or a short drive out to other parts of the forest. Highly reccommended. Hide

I can only echo the favourable comments by previous guests and this is my second visit. The thoughtful owners have now provided an electric charging point in the undercover parking area. River View is a great base to visit the attractions in the Forest of Dean and those further afield such as Slimbridge or Hay on Wye.
