The entrance way still has the original stone work, which gives the property character. On the ground floor you have three double bedrooms which are all very light and airy. The living/dining room and modern kitchen are situated on the first floor, and on the second floor there is a great space that has been designed perfectly for a children’s play area, with games, bean bags, a TV and Playstation 2.

Upstairs you have two, well-proportioned and well-equipped double bedrooms, one with the ability to be set up as a twin room.
The Chicken Coop (UK12137) is all on one level and has been finished to a high standard, and is the perfect getaway to kick back and relax in. You enter the property through a small porch and are instantly met by a large spacious kitchen area which is modern and fully equipped. The living area has a lovely wood burner which gives a glowing warmth to the property in the winter months. Both bedrooms are fitted with TV’s and offer a high level of comfort, and there is also a wet room giving easier access to facilities. Outside, there is a very large garden that is shared with one other property, but there is plenty of space for everyone to enjoy. There is also an interconnecting door that connects to The Old Granary, perfect for large groups.
The property is nestled in the village of Hewelsfield and there is plenty to see and do in the surrounding area. This border territory is marked by stunning scenery and has brooding castles at Chepstow and Raglan. Explore the market towns of Abergavenny and Monmouth, or enjoy excellent walking in the Forest of Dean and along the riverbank. Fishing, horse riding, cycling and canoeing are readily available. The area is wonderful for sightseeing and touring, and easily reached year round. Chepstow’s racecourse and excellent golf courses are also nearby. Shop 1½ miles, pub 2 miles and restaurant 2¾ miles.

The Old Granary is conveniently located and well equipped.The building is full of character, yet with all the necessary features we needed; comfortable beds, modern kitchen and bathroom, and useful utility area with washing machine and dryer. The owner is friendly and keeps the place very clean.The location is very good. The cottage is only a couple of minutes from the main road, which his far enough to make for a tranquil environment but not down miles of country lanes as some of the previous accomodations we've stayed in.Local attractions are close by. Clearwell caves are near and many other locations (Forest of Dean Cycle Centre, Beechenhurst Sculpture Trail, Hopewell Colliery, Symonds Yat, and canoeing on the river Wye) are all within 40 mins. Shops are easy to get to in Coleford.This was our first visit to the Forest of Dean area and we had a lovely relaxing holiday. I can recommend staying at the Old Granary.
