Anne's Cottage - Two Bedroom House, Sleeps 4

Set in the heart of the Forest of Dean, and brimming with charm and character, this delightful 19th-century stone-built cottage has been sympathetically and imaginatively updated to make a fabulous holiday retreat. The village of Ruardean has a rich and varied history, and makes a great base for exploring the Wye Valley National Landscape (2.5 miles to the west), which offers a fabulous variety of activities including canoeing, wild swimming, rock climbing, paddleboarding and mountain biking. The Wye Valley has a wealth of popular landmarks and attractions including Clearwell Caves, Perrygrove Railway Adventure, Puzzlewood, Symonds Yat and Goodrich Castle, all within 10 miles. Heading south, the glorious Forest of Dean has some glorious walking trails and is home to the Hopewell Colliery, Dean Heritage Centre, Soudley Ponds, The Forest of Dean Sculpture Trail and the Cyril Hart Arboretum, all within 10 miles.
Entering this beautifully styled cottage, the characterful open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner offers a warm welcome. The light and inviting lounge has a Smart TV, a DVD player, a stone fireplace and ample seating, perfect for relaxing in after a great day exploring. The central breakfast bar is perfect for family meals, and leads across to a fully equipped and elegantly arranged kitchen. The ground floor also features a fantastic cedarwood-roofed sunroom which has a sumptuous sofa, a wide choice of vintage furnishings and a fascinating selection of local souvenirs and artwork. Heading upstairs, you will have a choice of two beautifully decorated bedrooms. The first is a lovely rustic-style king-size room with impressive wooden beams set in the vaulted ceiling. The second bedroom is a charming twin room featuring a single bed and a small double. Finally, this delightful retreat is rounded off with an invigorating and elegantly decorated shower room.
Heading outside, the pretty garden is enclosed and shared with the owner’s home.
