About this property
Yorkley 1.1 miles. A superb all ground floor barn conversion set in the grounds of the owner's home on the southern edge of the Forest of Dean. A bright and cheery feel is evident as you enter this property with its spacious open plan living area complete with kitchen, dining area to seat all guests, and comfortable sitting area from where the lovely views can be enjoyed. The two bedrooms are positioned at either end of the living area, both with views over the garden and countryside beyond. Two sets of doors from the living area lead to the front garden, a pleasant area to sit, relax and take in the sounds of the countryside, enjoy alfresco dining or a summer barbecue. Next door to the cottage is a useful drying room with washing machine. Enjoy walks or bike rides from the cottage and perhaps stop for refreshment at one of the traditional pubs in the area or visit one of the many farm shops. For the more active there is an abundance of activities to be enjoyed in the forest. Just a short drive away are the ancient caves of Clearwell, the riverside town of Ross-on-Wye and the Severn Estuary, famous for its tidal bore, and a delight for birdwatchers and wildlife enthusiasts. A wonderful cottage for a romantic break or small family holiday, to be enjoyed all year round.
Yorkley is a thriving village on the southern edge of the wonderful Forest of Dean with an excellent pub and village shop offering many lovely walks and cycle routes in all directions. The rspb Nagshead Reserve is home to many rare woodland birds and offers interesting events for all ages throughout the year. The unspoilt Malvern Hills, Brecon Beacons National Park and Black Mountains, as well as lovely Cotswold towns and villages are just a little further afield.

The cottage is very well equipped, the garden amazing for our small dog and the hosts were very kind and considerate. We've been staying in holiday cottages over the last 20 years, this one is by far the best we've stayed in.

We enjoyed a relaxing week amongst very friendly neighbours , they were willing to stop and pass the time of day with you. The Stable was very well equipped with everything necessary for self catering. The furnishings were very comfortable and the bed was extremely comfy too. The outdoor space including the paddock is a bonus if your four legged friend joins you ,our dog enjoyed chasing Charlie the owners dog. All in all one of the best holiday cottages we have been to, Kathy and Russell are very hospitable and a welcoming lemon drizzle cake was an added bonus.

The pictures and descriptions are accurate and the joining instructions from the couple who run The Stable are really good. It was nice warm even though the outside temperature during our three night stay was minus three degrees Celsius. There are pubs within walking distance, the Nags Head only 1km away only takes cash, so please note. The edge of the forest is right next to the property which is a lovely bonus.
