“What an amazing place. Jill the ...”

What an amazing place. Jill the owner was so very helpful and friendly, the property had everything we could have asked for. We have a new baby, so extra facilities and needs were catered for too... above and beyond. We cannot recommend this beautiful cottage enough, we definately would like to return one day - possibly we can have some more sunshine! Even with the slightly tempestuous weather we enjoyed the stay, views and activities in the area. Thank you.

“What a wonderful cottage with ...”

What a wonderful cottage with stunning views. The enclosed garden was perfect for my dog and 2yo. The cottage was very well equipped even down to dishwasher & washing machine tablets and the travel cot was superb and came with a sheet and blanket. The bed is very comfy with quality bedding and pillows. I was a little worried about the night storage heaters but I needn't have worried as they were very efficient and we were never cold. I would recommend this cottage to anyone!

Almshouse Cottages

Two wonderful, semi-detached holiday cottages situated on the western edge of the Royal Forest of Dean, in the village of English Bicknor. These delightful cottages are full of character and charm, ideal for a family holiday or romantic retreat in an unspoilt part of the country. Each property is set over two floors, with two bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor, along with a sitting room, kitchen and dining table downstairs. They also both have their lovely gardens where you can enjoy the sunshine, accompanied by the sound of the birdsong, and dine outdoors. There are many lovely walks and cycle routes to be enjoyed right from the doorstep, or for those who enjoy adrenaline-fuelled activities, try canoeing, abseiling, caving, and the high wire rope course in the forest! There is also opportunity to fish the Wye, or play a round of golf on one of many excellent courses, the nearest being Forest Hills only four miles away. A wonderful pair of cottages for a relaxing break, or a fun-filled adventure, in the Wye Valley AONB!

About the location

ENGLISH BICKNOR

Symonds Yat Rock 3 miles; Symonds Yat 7 miles; Ross-on-Wye 8 miles; Monmouth 8 miles.

The lovely village of English Bicknor, situated on the westerly edge of the Royal Forest of Dean and nestling within the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is one of the ancient villages of the forest, situated at the top of a hill overlooking the valley, and once the site of an ancient motte and bailey castle, the remnants of which can still be seen. The villages of English Bicknor and nearby Symonds Yat are steeped in the history of this fascinating area and offer visitors a vast range of activities and landscapes. The Royal Forest of Dean comprises some 27,000 acres of woodland and provides, through a network of pathways and visitor centres, a chance to explore both its beauty and history. One great attraction is Symonds Yat Rock from which the breathtaking vista takes in the meandering River Wye and the distant hills of Herefordshire and Wales. Close by is the famous Goodrich Castle, a perfect example of a 12th century marcher castle, while just 8 miles away are the historic market towns of Ross-on-Wye and Monmouth. These attractive riverside towns make a great day out, offering a mix of elegant Victorian courtyards and timbered Tudor houses as well as excellent shops, pubs and restaurants to suit every taste. Stroll along the riverbank, take a cruise along the river or view the surrounding countryside from a hot air balloon. Enjoy trips to Chepstow, Tintern, Hay-on-Wye, the Black Mountains, Gloucester, Cheltenham and the Cotswolds. The historic town of Hereford, with its magnificent cathedral housing the Mappa Mundi ancient map of the world, is also well worth a visit.
