About the location
YORKLEY
Clearwell 5.5 miles; Symonds Yat 13.6 miles; Ross-on-Wye 14.8 miles.
A thriving village on the southern edge of the wonderful Forest of Dean with an excellent pub and village shop offering many lovely walks and cycle routes in all directions. The RSPB Nagshead Reserve is home to many rare woodland birds and offers interesting events for all ages throughout the year. The magnificent Royal Forest of Dean, England's largest oak forest and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, boasts numerous trails that can be explored on foot, by bike or on horseback. Caving, abseiling and a high wire rope course are for the more adventurous, whilst fishing, golf, kayaking and canoeing are other popular activities in this unspoilt area. The eerie caverns and ancient caves of Clearwell are close by, as are the Gloucestershire Way and Offa's Dyke Path. Close by, Symonds Yat boasts natural scenery and straddles the beautiful River Wye with its magnificent limestone 'rock', popular with climbers, and well-known for its viewpoint. Visit the historic town of Monmouth with its mixture of elegant Georgian mansions and Victorian courtyards, or the lovely town of Ross-on-Wye with its timbered Tudor houses and delightful riverside walks, both offering excellent shops, pubs and restaurants. The unspoilt Malvern Hills, Brecon Beacons National Park and Black Mountains, as well as lovely Cotswold towns and villages are just a little further afield.
Notes
The owner keeps a private self-contained flat in the coach house (separate building from the main house) and is occasionally there when guests are in residence. This does not overlook the pool or main garden areas.
Please note that Danby Lodge contains antique/designer furniture and other high-quality fittings and furnishings which guests are asked to treat with respect. Guests are asked not to move any furniture inside the property as you may damage it. If you move outside furniture such as seats, tables or Sun Loungers, we ask that you return it to where it was when you arrived at the property. We reserve the right to charge guests if items are not returned back to where they were when you arrived.
Guests are expected to take responsibility for the actions of any children or animals in their party. Animals are permitted at Danby Lodge, but not upstairs or in carpeted areas. Any damage caused will be deducted from the deposit or will need to be paid for prior to leaving the property.
The pool is available and heated during the summer months, depending on the weather. This is normally May through to October. We don’t normally heat the pool if the ambient temperature falls below 20 degrees and usually close it by the end of October so that it doesn’t become clogged with leaves once they start falling.
