Property code: OC-54765

Overlooking miles of beautiful countryside, with incredible valley views and a tangle of nature trails for your favourite canine to sniff out, this semi-detached property is ideal for those looking to explore the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley alongside the wagging tail of their four-legged friend. This stone-built cottage has two bedrooms and sleeps up to four people, making it a great romantic retreat or family-friendly property. Unfortunately, your canine companion won’t be able to join you in your private hot tub to enjoy the spectacular views, but the enclosed decked terrace will give him the freedom to stretch out under the stars as you soak in the bubbles and relax.

Set on one level, the open-plan living space is stylish and comfortable with plenty of natural light flowing in through double doors that lead out to the decking. The living area come kitchen/diner is spacious, modern and kitted out with all you need to cater for you and your hound. The bright and airy bedrooms are also located on this floor as well as a contemporary bathroom with an over bath shower and WC. Outside is the perfect space for dining alfresco with a table and chairs.

The historic and traditional village of Blakeney is a mile away from the property and was home to Thomas Sternhold, a groom of King Henry VIII's Robes. 4.5 miles away and on the north bank of the River Severn is the small but thriving town of Lydney. Here you will find the Dean Forest Railway and Lydney’s famous Park Gardens. The area hosts a number of family and dog-friendly country pubs that are the perfect place to retire to after a day on your feet, or paws, exploring the wealth of forest trails on offer.

The cottage is well thought out and a real home from home ,its on a busy A road but this can't be heard in the cottage,all forest walks we did were only a 10 or fifteen minutes drive away .unfortunately there are no walks from the cottage which was the only down side.

Lovely 4 nights away!! We stayed here for 4 nights with our two dogs. It was very comfortable and clean with everything you needed in the kitchen. The bed was comfortable and the hot tub was amazing, day or night. We weren't too far from the village where there was a shop and pub. We had a lovely relaxing weekend. We would love to return here.

The cottage is lovely, well equipped especially the kitchen. Hot tub was well used and enjoyed. The location was perfect for us, 10-15 min drive to all the main forestry attractions (walks for us) . The views out over the forestry is beautiful. Outside lighting was great for late night dog toilet breaks. The owners allowing two dogs was also a hugeRead more attraction to us. Would definitely go back to the cottage and have already recommended it to family. Hosts also friendly and helpful! Hide

The Cottage itself is great and is probably in a good location if you are ramblers. We are more of a family that likes picturesque towns/villages, quirky shops, welcoming and dog friendly pubs with character and good food. Consequently, found we had more driving to do than expected.
