A delightful lodge set on a farm in rural Gloucestershire, this peaceful retreat makes a romantic hideaway. Sleeping two guests, the one-bedroom holiday home offers welcoming accommodation across two storeys from its setting at Huntley, 8.5 miles from historic Gloucester and the beginnings of the magnificent Wye Valley National Landscape. Venture 10.5 miles into the Forest of Dean to follow footpaths or tackle mountain biking trails. Head 13.5 miles to Symonds Yat, where you can climb up to the viewing point or take to the picturesque River Wye in a canoe. The Malvern Hills, 16 miles away, also hold a wealth of opportunities for those who enjoy outdoor activities, while the scenic Cotswolds, with their rolling green landscapes and picture-postcard villages, are 13.5 miles from the lodge. Head into Gloucester to wander through its shopping areas, dine out in a choice of restaurants and visit the impressive cathedral.
Pause for a moment to listen to the birds and the running water of Ley Brook before letting yourself into this delightful Gloucestershire lodge. Leave your boots in the tray and hang your coats on the hooks in the hall, where there is also access to your chic shower room. This comes complete with luxury soap and other products. Wander through to the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner to unpack the fresh produce you have bought and to set about preparing a delicious meal for two. This end of the room offers you all the space and equipment you need to assist you in your culinary creations. Pour yourselves a glass of fizz, dine at the table, then sink back into the feather-filled sofa in front of the Smart TV. Open the French doors to the courtyard garden on fine days so you can come and go as the mood takes you. When you are ready to head to your bed for the night, your lovely king-size bedroom, with its characterful, sloping ceilings and skylight windows, is positioned on the first floor.
Savour the sunshine and serenity in your tranquil, private courtyard garden. Rock gently on the swing seat or share a bottle of wine at the table as dusk falls and you listen for the hoot of the owl. Stroll through the shared, 10-acre grounds, taking care on the uneven woodland paths. Keep an eye out for deer and other wildlife as you explore. There is private parking for one car.
