Overview

Private and peaceful, this converted cider mill enjoys an elevated position within the historic village of Lydbrook. Surrounded by mature cottage gardens and boasting a two-bedroom, two-bathroom layout, it’s a great base for two couples and a pair of canine pals. Occupying a steep-sided valley within both the Forest of Dean and the Wye Valley AONB, Lydbrook has a rich industrial history. There’s lots to discover in the surrounding countryside, but climb the narrow footpath up to this characterful cottage and a laid-back holiday vibe awaits – this really is a place in which you can do as much or as little as you’d like. Step through the front porch and you’ll find a fabulous kitchen/breakfast room. A glass roof allows lots of lovely natural light into the kitchen area; beyond is a raised dining table with high-backed stools where you can chill-out with a Nespresso coffee while dinner cooks. For more formal mealtimes, move into the library – with garden views and wooden panelling, it has a table and chairs for four plus a selection books and board games. Big exposed beams and a huge fireplace with a wood burner set the scene for relaxing evenings in front of the TV in the main lounge. And adding home-style convenience to your stay, a utility room with a washing machine and an adjoining shower room complete the ground-floor layout. When it’s time for bed, settle the dogs – two are welcome here – and go upstairs where there are two bedrooms. The master has a super-king size bed, TV and steps down to a small garden room where you can enjoy a breath of fresh air and some lovely views as your day begins. The second has a king-size zip-and-link bed that can be made into twins on request, and completing the first floor is a bathroom with a Jacuzzi-style bath for a spa-like soak. This former cider mill comes with around an acre of mature gardens which guests are free to explore – you can even help yourselves to any produce that’s ready to harvest during your stay! Gather on the raised deck to the far side of the cottage and there’s a fun, covered bar area and open terrace with a table and chairs. For stunning views and sunshine, stroll to the orchard gardens and relax in a wooden lounger; a little further on, there’s a pergola where you could take afternoon tea. Self-catering is no hassle here – the village has a well-stocked shop, takeaways and welcoming pubs. Work up an appetite with walks in the Wye Valley – the iconic Symonds Yat Rock is just over 6 miles away. Just across the Welsh border, Monmouth (10 miles) is known for its 13th-century gatehouse bridge and offers a range of independent shops and eateries to suit all tastes. Head north instead and, 7 miles away, Ross-on-Wye has 19th-century mock-Gothic walls and pretty pastel-hued dwellings tumbling down the hillside to the river. 3 miles away, the Forest of Dean Cycle Centre is a great starting point for families and adventurers on two wheels.
