Just a couple of miles from the River Wye and the border with Wales, this traditional stone cottage has been sympathetically updated to provide cosy accommodation for couples and smaller families. Set along the northern outskirts of the picturesque village of Newland, the property has beautiful exposed timber beams, tasteful furnishings and a glorious garden with wonderful views. With ample space for up to four guests, this characterful hideaway is ideal for walkers, cyclists and nature lovers exploring the magical surroundings of the Wye Valley National Landscape.

Set in the grounds of the owner's home, this delightful retreat has a private entrance leading through into a fresh and airy open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. The cheery lounge has a Smart TV, a well-stocked bookcase and comfortable seating, while the central farmhouse table is a perfect spot for family meals which you can rustle up in the country-style kitchen. The ground floor also features a stylish bathroom. Upstairs you will have a choice of two light and spacious bedrooms, each with impressive wooden beams: there's a lovely super-king-size room and a cheerful double. Oak-framed patio doors lead from the lounge and out onto a beautiful south-west facing terrace with outdoor furniture, a fire pit and BBQ, providing a lovely spot to gaze out over the extensive gardens towards the Cathedral of the Forest.

The peaceful village of Newland has a traditional pub and the stunning Cathedral of the Forest, a beautiful 13th-century church. The fabulous Wye Valley offers miles of breathtaking walks and bike trails, with the ancient Offa's Dyke footpath accessible from Redbrook (2.5 miles).

Very characterful and comfortable, very nicely laid out, loos upstairs and down (not en suite but very in character), proper bathroom with shower. Glorious garden with outside seating area for al fresco dining (although table might be a bit small if more than two of you). Lovely peaceful location. Convenient roadside parking in very quiet village. Read moreExcellent village pub an easy stroll away - no need to cook for yourself if you don't want to. Hide
