Stay amongst traditional surroundings in this old village shop, a romantic bolthole for two. This Gloucestershire abode is well-positioned for discovering the wonders of the Wye Valley and the Forest of Dean, with world-famous hiking routes along the England-Wales border effortless to reach. The property welcomes any couple and is annexed off the owner’s cottage with a shared garden providing a sunny respite in warm weather. Spend time outside with a morning coffee or a sundowner or make yourselves comfortable in the lounge with one of the property’s board games or jigsaws laid out for entertainment. Everything sits within easy reach in this single-storey holiday home, with a central hallway leading off into the kitchen, the lounge/diner, the double bedroom and the bathroom. Whilst the compact kitchen has enough room to cook a tasty meal for two, there’s plenty of space in the lounge/diner to sit at the dining table or eat dinner in front of the TV. You can, of course, make use of the garden space and dine alfresco. Back indoors. The bedroom is extremely spacious with double-aspect windows and soft linens to curl up under. There’s so much beauty situated around Coleford (1 mile) that’s simply waiting to be explored on foot or two wheels. Art appreciators will love getting outdoors and exploring the Forest of Dean Sculpture Trail (3 miles), whilst mountain biking pros will be keen to find the Forest of Dean Cycle Centre in the same area (2.5 miles). The enchanting woodlands of Puzzlewood (1 mile) invite gentle strolls and daily adventures, whilst RSPB Nagshead (3 miles) is a must-visit for avid nature spotters. Having explored the area within walking distance, take a trip in the car and venture over the border to the exciting Welsh town of Monmouth (6.5 miles).
