Alvington Manor

Located within its own idyllic grounds, this beautiful Georgian home is the perfect getaway for larger groups of friends and family and their two holidaying hounds. Ideal for special occasions and celebrations, this elegant property sleeps 20 people across seven bedrooms and is a great base for walkers keen to explore the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley. Boasting a private hot tub and panoramic views across the River Severn, this home is quite the rural treat.

Surrounded by 3 acres of private gardens and paddocks for the pups to explore, this opulent home is both spacious and characterful. The drawing room is a sociable space to indulge in pre-dinner drinks as the dogs stretch out in front of the open fire, while the cosy snug and conservatory are great for those quieter moments. The most discerning of chefs will love the stylish kitchen, while the large dining hall/library is wonderful for more formal dinners. Keep the party atmosphere going long into the night in the games room, which has table tennis and football. Each of the gorgeous bedrooms have their own unique style with sumptuous beds and antique furnishings. One is located on the ground floor while the other six are on the first floor. Stepping outside, let the furry family members sniff out some fun while you enjoy a soak in the hot tub with a glass of bubbly.

Get a bite to eat at one of the local pubs or tea shop, which are within walking distance. Grab the leads and your walking boots and follow one of the many local footpaths that surround the property, or for something a little fun follow the 4-mile Forest of Dean Sculpture Trail (9 miles). To discover a bit of history, explore the fascinating Goodrich Castle (13.5 miles) which welcomes dogs.
