A superbly stylish property, perfect for celebration breaks - boasting a hot tub and feature bath tub on balcony with views.

Get back to nature at this former Victorian homestead surrounded by beautiful Gloucestershire countryside. Gather your loved ones together – including those with four legs – for a special holiday in a memorable location. The Forest of Dean has a wealth of attractions for all the family, whether you want to swing through the trees, ride a steam train through the forest or put your best paw forward on a woodland walk.

 

Converted in 2019, this former barn is the height of luxury, with a spacious open-plan living area giving you all plenty of room to spread out and get comfortable. Cosy up with a bucket of popcorn for movie nights brought to life by the Smart TV. The kitchen is equipped with mod cons including a double electric Range oven, dishwasher and wine fridge for getting your drinks the perfect temperature before a celebratory dinner. Upstairs are five elegant bedrooms, including the amazing master bedroom. Take in sweeping views of the countryside while enjoying a bubble bath on the private balcony. The outside of the property is just as glamorous as the inside, with a hot tub, sauna and fire pit giving you everything you need to relax in style.

 

For families with children, there are lots of fantastic activities within 15 miles of the property, including Puzzlewood, Clearwell Caves and Go Ape course. A nostalgic trip on the Dean Forest Railway (14 miles) is fun for all ages, and the dogs are welcome aboard too as long as they keep off the seats. The city of Gloucester (10 miles), with its famous Norman cathedral, offers a great day out, and the Malvern Hills (20 miles) has some challenging walks if your pets enjoy getting out and about.

Rusty Barns is a wonderful property for family gatherings. Good sized bedrooms, well equipped kitchen, Although part of a larger site we never felt our privacy compromised. Hot tub, sauna, table tennis, fire pit all added to the fun and owners readily available if needed.

The property itself is great for a big family gathering. Some great quirky features. Helpful owners who resolves a few issues we had quickly. Its also confusing because there is a field full of sheep out the kitchen window and lovely country views and walks all around, but it is also situated on working farm land and the owners are still developingRead more neighbouring properties. Saying that, we all enjoyed ourselves and I would stay again. Hide
