Nestled into the valley, this converted cider mill is surrounded by mature cottage gardens with stunning views. A great base for exploring the Forest of Dean whilst escaping the hustle and bustle of everyday living.

Escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life at this beautifully converted cider mill in the heart of the Forest of Dean. Sleeping four people over two bedrooms and welcoming one canine companion, this wonderful property is the perfect country bolthole for a romantic break for two or a getaway for a small family or group of friends. You’ll adore the remote location and quaint country features, and your pup will love snoozing in front of the cottage’s cosy wood burner.

Step inside and you’ll find a beautiful interior overflowing with original features and rustic character. Start your day with a coffee under the pergola in the garden, before heading to the vegetable patch in search of treats for dinner. Enjoy a stroll with your pup through the orchard before heading out to explore the surrounding countryside. Later in the day make your way to the kitchen/breakfast room, which is flooded with natural light. Cook dinner and dine at the kitchen table, or, for a more formal dining experience, head to the snug. Alternatively, step outside and dine alfresco on the terrace. After dinner, pour yourself a glass of wine and gather around the chimenea, or head indoors to watch your favourite TV shows as your pup snoozes in front of the wood burner. When it’s time for bed, there are two wonderful bedrooms to choose from upstairs.

Take your pup for a stroll at Tintern Abbey (14 miles). Afterwards, you’ll find a dog-friendly pub just across the car park. Alternatively, hop on board one of the steam trains at the Dean Forest Railway (8.5 miles). You can grab a takeaway afternoon tea at the cafe for your journey, and your pup is welcome to come along for the ride.

We absolutely loved Mill Cottage. Spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated with lots of homely touches, we felt instantly at home in front of a roaring fire. The kitchen is so well equipped and I've ordered an espresso machine which was a lovely extra particularly the festive coffee pods in our welcome hamper. Do not be put off by the climb to thRead moree cottage, it's well worth the walk for the peace and views, we also got used to the climb very quickly. Would definitely return to this property. Hide

Just returned from a weekend stay and could not recommend any higher. Accommodated our VERY last minute booking after a cancellation. Absolutely everything has been thought of and provided. Stunning property, beautiful grounds, great access to walks and a local shop and pub less than 5 min walk.

The cottage is in a lovely location set up on the side of the valley. Be prepared to carry your luggage uphill on an uneven path. But the effort is,worth it! Kitchen was fantastically well-equipped for a self-catering cottage.

Comfortable, very clean (despite being dog friendly) and spacious living accommodation. Far enough away from the road to be wonderfully quiet at night. Large enclosed garden which was enjoyed by all the family including the dog. Parking provided a couple of minutes walk from the cottage. My partner struggled with the path to the cottage, but a smalRead morel price to pay for the peace and quiet. Hide

A beautiful, comfortable, cottage which exceeded our expectations. The bed was very comfortable. It had lovely gardens, and it was close to lots of places of interest. We'd both had covid, the previous two weeks before the visit, so the walk up to the cottage wasn't the easiest but we managed. It's best to bring luggage in small cases/bags, which wRead moree did luckily. Hide

Great week away with friends, in a great location for days out and walks. Extremely well equipped and very comfortable. Lovely place to relax after a full day of exploring. Great chippy down the road.
