Forest House, Gloucestershire

Large, Pet Friendly Wye Valley Holiday Cottage With a Hot  Tub. Sleeps 24.

Forest House has recently been converted from a 4-star hotel to self-catering holiday accommodation by the owners, who have put great care into the process. The spacious property can sleep up to 24 individuals in 11 ensuite bedrooms, with two connected bedrooms on the ground floor sharing an ensuite shower and an accessible WC.

It offers multiple spaces for relaxing and entertaining, including a few lounges, a dining room that can seat everyone at once, a chef's kitchen, and even a bar. The gardens outside are small but well-maintained and safe for children and dogs.

There is a patio area with garden furniture, a BBQ, and a hot tub area, making it an ideal place to unwind after a long day and take in the surrounding area, whether it's walking, cycling, canoeing or something more daring. A spacious car park lies behind the property, and there is ample parking on nearby roads.

Coleford is a market town and an excellent base from which to explore the beautiful scenery of the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley. Forest House is located conveniently in the town centre, just a short stroll from the front door to stock up on groceries and essentials or visit one of the many cafes and pubs, including a small cinema. Within 5 minutes, you can access the footpaths and cycleways that weave through the Forest.

For outdoor enthusiasts, Forest House is a dream come true. The area offers a plethora of activities, from rambling and mountain biking to canoeing, fishing, and golf. During your stay, you can explore a host of landmarks and attractions, each offering a unique experience. The nearest attractions include the awe-inspiring ancient forests at Puzzlewood, known for their appearances in Harry Potter, Star Wars, and Merlin; the fascinating underground caves at Clearwell, which provide a glimpse into thousands of years of mining history; and the Perrygrove Railway and Museum, a paradise for train enthusiasts of all ages.

The Sculpture Trail at Beechenhurst is well worth a visit and popular with families due to the outdoor play areas for children, on-site café and BBQs, 4.5 miles of walking trails, climbing tower and Junior Go Ape (adults can swing through the forest canopy too, just down the road at Mallards Pike). If you fancy messing about on the river, taking in the scenery from a canoe or kayak on the River Wye is an unforgettable experience. There is plenty to keep everyone occupied during your stay at Forest House.
