    “The only issue we had was the wet floor after showering.”

    It would have been nice to have a mop to use afterwards. Other than that there was plenty of kitchen utensils to utilise. The cottage was very cozy in the cold weather and despite being next to the road we weren't disturbed by road noise. The welcome gifts were a lovely surprise.

The property

Blakeney 1.4 miles.

Perched near to the peaceful village of Blakeny, on the southeast edge of the magnificent landscapes of the Royal Forest of Dean, lies this delightfully bright, semi-detached cottage, Brewery Lodge.

Showcasing spacious living areas and encased in stunning surroundings peppered with walking and cycling opportunities, Brewery Lodge makes a perfect dwelling for those who love to traverse the outdoors and are seeking to explore all that this tranquil area has to offer.

Conveniently adjoined to the owners’ pub and boasting reverse-level living, step into your new home-from-home to discover a well-stocked kitchen, hosting all the necessary appliances required to prepare delectable feasts; set the table as your other half cooks up a storm, ready to enjoy over a bottle of fizz and toast to a wonderful adventure.

Snuggle up on the plush sofa with your loved one ready to watch a film or two, ahead of retreating to either a charming double bedroom or a ground-floor twin, both hosting plenty of storage for your holiday wardrobe.

Come morning, complete your routine in an immaculate ground-floor shower room before heading out to explore the local area.

The nearby village of Blakeney offers an ample selection of services including a shop, pub and several eateries and restaurants, ideal for treating your loved ones to a hearty lunch or cold beverage; for the watersport enthusiasts amongst your group be sure to embark on an adventure to Mallards Pike, enveloped in stunning backdrops, the lower lake can be booked by guests for canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding or raft-building activities.

Journey further into the beautiful surroundings of the Forest of Dean, where during the summer months you may visit the nearby Yat Rock and watch the Peregrine Falcons or explore the Clearwell Caves, an unusual iron mining museum that dates to the Bronze Age.

The forest is also home to Puzzle Wood which showcases pre-Roman open cast iron workings and a maze expanding 14 acres of rock ravines and pathways, and if you happen to visit when the tides are at their highest, you may be lucky enough to witness the natural phenomenon of The Bore where a large wall of water cascades the Severn at up to 20 miles per hour.

If it’s bustling city life you’re seeking, Gloucester is also within accessible reach by car, offering magnificent architecture, a wealth of amenities including shops, restaurants, pubs, and cafes, as well as its notable Gloucester Prison.

Well-positioned to tour Monmouth and Ross-on-Wye also, Brewery Cottage is the perfect base to explore all that Gloucestershire has to offer.

About the location

BLAKENEY

Gloucester 16 miles; Monmouth 16 miles; Ross-on-Wye 17 miles.

The ancient village of Blakeney lies on the southeast edge of the Royal Forest of Dean and was once a site of a Roman Villa dating back to 75AD. Equidistant to Gloucester and Monmouth, the village boasts many 16th and 17th century buildings, with a charming 16th century coaching inn, and also offers a good selection of amenities including a fish and chip shop, village store and Post Office, as well as numerous walks and cycle routes. 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 horseback. Caving, abseiling and a high wire rope course can be enjoyed by the more adventurous, whilst fishing, golf, kayaking and canoeing are other popular activities available 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 for wonderful walks. 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, which offers a fusion 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 home to excellent shops, pubs and restaurants. The unspoilt Malvern Hills, Brecon Beacon National Park and Black Mountains, as well as lovely Cotswold towns and villages are just a little further afield.
