  • A delightful dairy barn conversion set in the grounds of a traditional farm
  • Relax in a stunning private courtyard after a day of exploring the area
  • Perfect for enjoying the glorious scenery of the Gloucestershire Way
Property code: OC-46502

The compact property provides the perfect romantic escape for you and a favourite two-legged and four-legged friend, with a myriad of outdoor adventures and cosy nights in front of the wood burner waiting to be enjoyed by the three of you. Within easy reach of Gloucester, you are just 3 miles away from padding the historic pavements of this cathedral city, while the Gloucestershire Way runs a few hundred metres from your door and provides access to miles of walks through glorious countryside and along the banks of the River Severn.

Your base for your Gloucestershire getaway is a delectable converted dairy barn in a traditional farm setting, complete with fruit picking in the summer, lambing in the spring and alpacas all year round. Your single-storey stone hideaway is the perfect amalgamation of inside and outside space, with a cosy lounge opening directly on to your own private gated courtyard, allowing your faithful friend to come and go as they please while you kick back and sink into a sofa, recline on the covered terrace or light up the BBQ to dine alfresco.

Although there are superb walking and cycling routes on your doorstep, there is still plenty to encourage you to venture further afield. The Forest of Dean offers plenty of stick-chasing opportunities just 10 miles to the west. Journeying through the forest will lead you to the River Wye – the ideal setting for a riverside picnic and splash about as you watch, or even join, the canoeists and kayakers playing in the water.

We had a good time at the warm, comfortable and clean cottage and with unseasonal weather we appreciated that Clare and Paul had left the heating on. The cottage was very well equipped and had everything we needed. Very important to my husband especially, the bed is very comfortable.

Just 2 things (which didnt spoil our holiday): dont expect super fast broadband and as the floors are flagstones (though not in the bedroom) you may want slippers. Hide

We had a thoroughly lovely stay for 4 nights. Was a real treat to be welcomed with a bottle of fizz, cake & dog treats. The owners are so very welcoming. We also loved the little touches such as the dog towels. We have already recommended this lovely relaxing gem of a place.

I can't fault the cottage and the enclosed garden for our hearing dog Chips. It was lovely to see the Jacob sheep and Alpaca. As we are both deaf we found it was a bit too dark in the cottage for us, hence having to keep the light on all the time, might have been better to stay in the summertime.

An absolute pleasure to stay at the Dairy where it's rustic and peaceful qualities are combined with a location that will have you at a number of castles, cathedrals, stately homes, butterfly zoo, bird sanctuary and steam railway all within an hour's drive.

A beautifully thought out barn conversion, well equipped and spotless. The owners Cathy and Paul went out of their way to make our holiday. Lots of extras we did not expect but were most welcome. A great location to explore the area. A lovely enclosed courtyard for our dog and for outdoor eating. Would stay again. 100% would recommend.

We had been looking for somewhere to get away from it all for a few days and The Dairy turned out to be perfect. The comfy chairs in the private courtyard were great for relaxing with a book, and the large outdoor table was the perfect spot for some al fresco dining in the late afternoon sun.
