A character cottage in the heart of the Forest of Dean, this wonderful abode offers a welcoming base for exploring this magical landscape of ancient woodland. The holiday home sleeps up to four guests and is one of a group of former miners' cottages in the town of Cinderford. Set in a quiet, elevated spot, it overlooks rooftops towards the forest and is within a mile of wonderfully scenic waymarked walking and cycling trails. You'll find a wealth of outdoor attractions to enjoy from your front door, while the lovely Wye Valley and Symonds Yat beauty spots are within easy reach.

The cottage's bright interior is comfortable and attractively furnished, with cosy sofas in the lounge where you can watch Smart TV or plan tomorrow's adventures. A pink splashback is an eye-catching feature in the spacious contemporary kitchen/diner, with a utility room and shower room completing the ground floor. Upstairs are two pretty bedrooms: a double with woodland views and another with a 4' bed which can be used as a double or large single. Outside, there is a patio with garden furniture for outdoor dining and a super games room, housing table football and comfortable seating.

A cycle path and a striking sculpture walking trail with works by leading artists are both less than a mile away. Peaceful Soudley Ponds, also within a 1-mile stroll, is surrounded by mature woodland with a circular path around the water's edge. Opposite the ponds is the Dean Heritage Centre, with a fascinating museum, a reconstructed forester's cottage, a waterwheel and a cafe, plus a Gruffalo trail and playground for children. Symonds Yat (10 miles), the famous viewpoint high above the River Wye, is a must-see, and medieval Goodrich Castle (7.5 miles) has wonderful views from the battlements.

Great cottage for a good base to explore the Forest of Dean (right across the road!) and further exploration of the Wye Valley only 25-30 minutes drive away. Kitchen is well equipped. Good space for family of 4. Backyard has bike racks. Nearest large Tesco in Cinderford is 30 minutes walk, or just 5 minutes drive. The small road (off the main road)Read more is very steep, werent quite used to that for parking the car, so a little tricky initially but we got the hang of it. Hide

Wonderfully quiet place, lovely views of the woods from front which basks in the sun later in the day, offering glorious supper sunset views. Sheltered sun trap back yard. Awesome shower, comfy beds & well equipped kitchen. Quickly warm for an old cottage. Ruspidge is a lovely village & walks into woodland are fabulous downhill from the door. CleanRead moreliness issues I'm sure will be addressed & perhaps very personal art choice changed - if not we just took it down & replaced it before leaving. Hide

A lovely, well equipped cottage in a good location. Check in with lockbox was easy. We were able to cook a meal in on each evening of our stay without too much trouble. We also enjoyed the table football in the garden room. Only let down by the significant amount of dust and cobwebs.
