The cottage is located in Cannop, Coleford in the heart of the Royal Forest of Dean. It's close to Parkend, Cinderford, Lydney, Lydbrook and the Welsh border, being a 5-10 min drive to local shops, cafe's, pubs and restaurants It's great for activities (i.e. cycling , walking, horse-riding, canoeing, etc.) and/or for a relaxing time away from the hustle of daily life. We are about 5 mins from the Cannop Cycle centre, Cannop Ponds, Beechenhurst (Go Ape, Sculpture Trail, Forest walks, etc.). The cottage has wonderful views of the forest from both sides of the house. It has been designed with a contemporary modern feel with a touch of the old. The bathroom has a luxurious bath for a relaxing soak or a hot shower at the end of a day exploring to unwind. The warmth of the living room has an exposed stone wall with original wood flooring and a fantastic wood burner. The wood flooring flows into the dining room while the kitchen underfloor heating warms up your feet. The kitchen and dining rooms give a bright and fresh feel to the morning, great for spending time entertaining family and friends, at any time of the day. There is a ground floor modern shower room downstairs accessible via the Extension, which has double patio doors leading into the enclosed garden. We have 2 comfortable bedrooms to cater for 4 persons. You can enjoy sitting around the fire-pit for a BBQ, drinks, reading or just relaxing in the patio area. Out the back of the garden gate are 2 parking spaces that are in the forest. We look forward to seeing you. I will send out a Welcome Letter and Pack prior to your arrival date.
