About this property
Hidden within the lively village of Mitcheldean you will find Ostlers. This idyllic detached cottage offers a wonderful countryside retreat for couples or a small family of four, travelling with their canine companion. Open up the delightful green cottage door and step inside the bright and airy open-plan living space, decorated with pretty neutral tones. Take a seat on the stylish grey sofas and catch up with friends as you watch a movie on the flat-screen TV, and begin to plan exciting activities for your time in the area. Wander over to the well-designed kitchen and begin to make tasty treats for a scenic picnic out in the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, or whip up a mouth-watering family meal with the help of the contemporary electric oven. Climb the staircase to the first floor and be greeted by a homey double bedroom boasting its very own en-suite shower room, so you can delight in an invigorating shower before grabbing your toasty towel from the heated rail and getting ready for the busy day ahead. Across the way two pretty oak beds make a charming twin bedroom, ideal for guests who wish to escape from the excitement and enjoy some peace and quiet as they lose themselves in a dramatic book. The first floor also features a contemporary shower room boasting a spacious double shower and stylish black tiles. Spend time out in the courtyard whether it be on a warm summer's day as you bask in the sunshine, or on a crisp winter's morning as you sip on a warm cup of tea and watch as the dog plays happily in the space. Be sure to pack your Waterproofs as there is so much for you to see and do during your time in the area. Visit the majestic ruins of the 11th century Goodrich Castle, sitting proudly on the hilltops within the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty or wander through the ancient King Arthur's Cave before a canoeing adventure on the Rive Wye.

Near Shops, takeaways & 2 very friendly pubs. The accommodation was very clean, comfortable & well laid out. On arrival greeted by owner who helped us settle in (showed us where everything was & layout of area). Although the weather was not great & sun down was early, this did not detract from us getting out & about. Visited the close by towns & villages, Gloucester, Ross, Tewkesbury, Monmouth & others. Recommend speaking to locals (we did in the pub) to discover places of interest & special walks with views & hidden delightful villages, such as Tintern Parva. We will certainly keep this Holiday Home in our places to revisit book. Lastly, the owner is very charming & helpful, thank you. Anne & Robert

Butter, bread, milk, tea, coffee, sugar all provided and delicious home made marmalade! Everything you needed was there, if you want to eat out you have to go further afield, Mitcheldean has three takeaways but no restaurants, there is a well stocked coop a 3 minute walk away. Ostlers has a lovely garden as well, no pictures on the site but there should be! Would recommend a stay here, easy to get to lots of the lovely sites that the Forest of Dean has to offer!
