Outside is where this property truly shines.

With nearly an acre of private grounds, much of the garden has been left wild to encourage local wildlife, creating a peaceful haven for nature lovers. There's also plenty of open space for children to play and dogs to run freely.

The wooden deck overlooking the brook is the perfect spot for morning coffee, evening drinks or simply listening to the sound of the water. A rustic path leads down to the stream where children can paddle and dogs can cool off on warmer days.

After muddy walks, make use of the outdoor hot and cold shower—ideal for rinsing boots, bikes and muddy paws before heading inside.

Wildlife & nature

Nature is never far away here.

Keep an eye out for:

Buzzards and red kites soaring overhead
Owls calling at dusk
Woodpeckers and dippers along the brook
Rabbits, muntjac deer and badgers
Fish swimming in the nearby stream

The peaceful surroundings make the Barn an ideal escape for birdwatchers, photographers and anyone looking to slow down and enjoy the countryside.

Guest access

Guests have exclusive access to the Barn and its private grounds.

The Forest of Dean offers miles of walking and cycling trails, with bike hire available nearby. Several welcoming country pubs serving food are within walking distance, and there's a bus stop conveniently located at the end of the driveway if you'd prefer to leave the car behind.
