Enjoying an elevated location with breathtaking views across the Severn Estuary, this cosy retreat with a private hot tub is the perfect base for couples wanting a break in the countryside.
Indulge in a romantic escape at this serene bolthole on the outskirts of the town of Cinderford. Sleeping two people in one bedroom and welcoming one canine companion, this is a perfect retreat for couples who want to reconnect with nature in the Forest of Dean. Spend a glorious day strolling with your pup through the ancient woodland at Puzzlewood and in the evening, come home to take a dip with your special someone in the private hot tub.
Offering wonderful views across the Severn Estuary, this is one of two picture-perfect cottages in a quaint complex of properties. Take a few steps up to the raised terrace and enter this single-storey home, which features a stylish bedroom, open-plan lounge/dining area, kitchen and a shower room. Enjoy a romantic dinner at the dining table as you take in the views over the estuary, or head out to the terrace and dine alfresco. After dinner, enjoy a dip in the private hot tub or head to the lounge area to snuggle in front of the TV. At the end of the day, you’ll find one beautifully styled double bedroom to retire to, and in the morning, you’ll wake up to lovely country views. Kick off your day with a sunrise bike ride – this property offers secure storage for your bikes.
When it’s time for walkies, immerse yourself in art and nature at the Forest of Dean Sculpture Trail (4.5 miles), where you’ll find over sculptures tucked away between the trees. Alternatively, pack up a picnic and head to Cannop Ponds (5 miles). Keep your eyes peeled for graceful swans and pretty mandarin ducks.
