Our holiday hideaway is former toll house built in the early 1800s. It was very sympathetically extended in the late 1970s. The cottage retains the charm of the old toll house while providing the comfort of a modern home.
The original part of the cottage still has the old beams. It is this original part that is now the living room. A stone surround fireplace with log burning stove adds to the charm and cosyness.
We are delighted to be able to offer our holiday cottage as self-catering accommodation in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, UK.

Our latest guests had a surprise. Only the person who'd made the booking had seen the cottage on-line so one friend exclaimed, "It's much nicer than I'd expected!"
The hot tub at our holiday cottage in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire was glorious today. Well worth booking a stay.
