Mrs Gordon August 2019

“This cottage is in an idyllic setting in a really peaceful spot, the owners were very helpful and friendly (not intrusive though!”

). The cottage was well equipped, with beautiful decor, great outdoor seating and a log fire, and lots of board games. There are many peaceful woodland walks from the doorstep. It was perfect and I would highly recommend this for anyone wanting a rural break.
Mrs Gatford July 2019

“A beautiful place in the most relaxing, quiet, and secluded spot.”

Everything we needed and a much appreciated break. Lovely walks nearby, wildlife on the doorstep, and comfy sofas and beds. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.
Mrs Ashby July 2019

“Excellent place to stay.”

Lovely accommodation and in very quiet situation. It had everything you could possibly require to ensure stay was comfortable and relaxing. Intend booking a longer holiday as enjoyed it so much.
Mrs Andrew May 2019

“Very good instructions to find the cottage, lovely welcome from the owners Kate and Anna.”

If you want a relaxing break this is it, you hear the birds singing the bees buzzing and the breeze through the tree's. Having said that there's still lot's to do around the area like walking cycling for instance but if you want lively night life go somewhere else.
Mrs Nind May 2019

“Wonderful getaway, peaceful and owners not intrusive.”

Comfy, clean and relaxing.
Mr Miller May 2019

“We found the whole holiday very peaceful.”

We were awakened every morning with the sunshine on the trees and saw bullfinches and goldfinches. Lots of interesting places to see and we would heartily recommend Harts Barn cafe for very good food and service. We would recommend a visit to Symonds Yat, a river ride and a visit to the Yat Rock for wonderful views of the river and surrounds. All in all a wonderful holiday.
Mr Mingay April 2019

“We were looking for a quiet venue where we could really unwind and get back to ourselves and to natures charms without getting entwined with the hurley-burley of everyday living.”

What a find this was! Every comfort and convenience, away from any form of village or rural living and yet less than a twenty minute walk from a local shop etc if required. Our two hosts were very welcoming from the initial contact through to the end of our stay. The accommodation was exactly as described and more. There were plenty of local walks and two nature reserves within very easy reach and several more close by. An absolutely delightful home with peace and solitude as ordered. Thank you to Kate and Anna and to Sykes for making the booking so straightforward(as usual). Baz & Tosh

The property

Drybrook 2 miles.

A beautiful, ground floor barn conversion, a wing of the owner's home, surrounded by their five-acre smallholding, down a lane in the SSSI in Wigpool, in the heart of the Forest of Dean.

The smallholding is home to chickens, sheep, ducks, horses, a woodland area and an orchard, and is just two miles from the village of Drybrook.

Luxuriously furnished throughout with the owner's personal touches, this delightful cottage offers contemporary accommodation, ideal for a romantic break or a get-together with family and friends in a peaceful and unspoilt part of the country.

Set over the ground floor, overlooking fields and woodland, the cottage has a master bedroom with French doors and views of the garden, a large open-plan living area which exudes quality and style and includes a well-equipped kitchen with French doors into the garden and a warming woodburning stove in the sitting area, ideal for those chilly evenings.

French doors lead to the rear decked area, with further seating at the front of the cottage, both ideal for enjoying a relaxing drink or a good book, whilst taking in the sounds and daily activities of the local wildlife.

Close by, Wigpool Common Nature Reserve, a SSSI, offers an abundance of flora, fauna and bird life which can be observed from areas around the common.

About the location

DRYBROOK

Symonds Yat 8.5 miles; Gloucester 14.5 miles.

The charming village of Drybrook, a former royal hunting ground, lies in the heart of the Forest of Dean and offers visitors many amenities, including a village store and Post Office, butcher, fish and chip shop and village pub. The area boasts many Nature Reserves, the closest being Wigpool Common, a 19 acre SSSI, a great place for nature lovers to see many rare species of flora, fauna and birds. The Royal Forest of Dean, England's largest oak forest and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, offers numerous trails that can be explored on foot, by bicycle or on horseback. Caving, abseiling and a high wire rope course are all on offer for the more adventurous, whilst fishing, golf, kayaking and canoeing are other popular activities in this unspoilt area. Drybrook is located close to the delightful market towns of Ross-on-Wye and Monmouth, whose timbered Tudor buildings, striking 17th century market halls, majestic bridges, excellent shops, pubs and restaurants to suit all tastes, all make these areas a must to visit. Stroll along the banks of the beautiful River Wye, take a river cruise or view the stunning countryside from a hot air balloon! Explore Goodrich Castle, a perfect example of a 12th century 'Marcher Castle', or enjoy the renowned walks along Offa's Dyke and the Wye Valley Walk. Just a short drive away, in the historic waterfront city of Gloucester, you will find Roman foundations, Victorian Docklands and a spectacular Norman cathedral; you may recognise the Cloisters as they were used in the Harry Potter films. Visit Symonds Yat with its towering rock where peregrine falcons breed or The Severn Estuary, famous for its tidal bore and a great place for wildlife enthusiasts. A great Gloucestershire cottage for a memorable holiday at any time of year.
