Brilliantly located for adventures across land and water, this dwelling sits in the fantastic Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Stay close to home or explore far and wide on foot, paw or perhaps by canoe. Brimming with creature comforts, a handful of games and tons of space for you to fill with laughter and barks, this beautiful barn will have you whisked into holiday mode.

Sitting within the grounds of the owner’s home, make your way inside and find yourself in the spacious open-plan living space. At one end sits a large sofa in front of an electric fire and a TV, the perfect spot to steal away and find a moment of peace. The other end is home to a games area where you can challenge fellow two-legged guests to a game of table tennis. Work up an appetite and head into the bright kitchen to cook up a storm or gather at the breakfast bar. If the sun has its hat on, throw open the patio doors and dine alfresco in the enclosed garden. For a sundowner feast, sizzle up treats on the BBQ as hungry noses sniff the air. Two charming bedrooms can be found on the first floor in the eaves of the house. Reach the twin, part of the mezzanine, via steps and find the king-size by crossing a landing via the twin room. When it’s time to seize the day, rise and shine and freshen up in the downstairs bathroom before heading out.

Tail wagging, stick chasing fun and panoramic views can be found 2.5 miles from your door at Symonds Yat Rock, a fantastic place to have a picnic and a game of fetch. Or give your feet a rest, take to the water and make a splash on the River Wye on a canoe less than 5 miles from home.

Beautiful barn, the photos really dont do this property justice. Lots of space & well appointed. We had everything we needed, in a quiet, but central location for walks to Symonds Yat, the River Wye or the Forest Of Dean. We enjoyed the enclosed garden for our dog and us to enjoy the sunshine and relax. Friendly and helpful owners.

My husband and I (plus dog) booked this cottage for an autumn getaway. It's close to the Forrest of Dean. As expected for the time of year, we had some good and bad days weather-wise.

A well equipped, warm and clean holiday barn. All kitchen essentials and more. We appreciated the doggy towels for wiping paws coming in from the secure garden.

Location is beautiful, the house is very comfortable and the games area is a great addition. There is no welcome pack and it is advertised as 2 bedrooms but the 2nd bedroom is an area that you walk through to the main bedroom and has no door of its own, so it would probably only be suitable for couples or a family with young children.
