The property
This thoughtfully presented, detached cottage is accessed down a quiet little lane on the fringes of Aylburton village, near Lydney.
It has an all-white exterior except for the pale sky blue shutters on the outside of the windows, adding a touch of charm and character, a white picket fence borders the front garden.
Entry is gained straight into the delights of the modern sitting room, decorated with peace and comfort in mind and a wall mounted TV to entertain those quiet evenings in.
Just off from here is the kitchen, well-appointed and sporting a fresh, reviving colour scheme and integrated appliances.
Access to the enclosed patio can be acquired from here through the rear door, with a lovely hot tub to relax away your troubles after a venturesome day out in Gloucestershire, and a wine cooler to get a bottle or two chilled and kept to hand.
The double room is enhanced by a flourish of stylish fittings and furniture; the French doors offer another route out onto the rear decking.
A large, modern shower room serves the cottage well, with neutral tiles on the walls and uplifting fixtures.
For things to do in the nearby area, head into Lydney town for shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as sports facilities.
For the more adventurous, there is climbing, abseiling and caving amongst the Royal Forest of Dean.
You can explore the Cotswolds, not too far away and even walk the trails promised at the Brecon Beacons National Park, its wonderful landscape scenery awaiting your arrival.
The thriving cities of Cardiff, Cheltenham and Gloucester are further afield with a whole wealth of activities for a fun-filled outing.
This wonderful cottage brings guests a relaxing stay to couples, the year-round.
About the location
LYDNEY
Chepstow 9 miles, Monmouth 12 miles; Gloucester 20 miles; Chelttenham 27 miles; Bristol; Cardiff 41 miles
The small, thriving town of Lydney is situated between the eastern edge of the Forest of Dean and the River Severn in Gloucestershire. Lydney has a very good range of shops, a leisure centre and sports facilities, as well as pubs, cafes and restaurants serving a wide variety of meals. 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 ancient caves of Clearwell are nearby, as are the Gloucestershire Way and Offa's Dyke Path. Symonds Yat boasts natural scenery and straddles the beautiful River Wye with its magnificent limestone outcrop, popular with climbers, and well-known for its viewpoint. Visit the nearby historic walled town of Chepstow with its impressive Norman Castle and the celebrated racecourse, whilst the pretty market 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 offer excellent shops, pubs and restaurants. The unspoilt Brecon Beacons National Park and Black Mountains, as well as lovely Cotswold towns and villages are just a little further afield as are the cities of Cheltenham, Gloucester, Cardiff, Newport, and just across the Severn Bridge, Bristol and Bath. Lydney is ideally placed for enjoying the delights of Gloucestershire at any time of the year.
