It is not just about historical opulence here – this is a place meant for living and laughter, where every room exudes a welcoming atmosphere.
The heart of the home is a delightful mix of spaces. The drawing room, with its peacock-themed turquoise sofas, beckons for relaxed evenings by the fire, while the adjacent sitting room, with its oatmeal Chesterfield, promises cosy conversations over a cuppa. A grand dining room invites shared meals around a polished table, complemented by a kitchen that is a joy for any aspiring chef.
Venture upstairs and discover five bedrooms, each a sanctuary of comfort and style. Whether it is the super-king-size bed with its luxurious en-suite, complete with a deep bath and separate shower, or the room boasting a roll-top bath beneath a bay window, every space offers a retreat from the day's adventures. Even the twin bunk bedded room is equipped with its own TV for moments of quiet relaxation.
The Coach House is available to accommodate guests in groups of more than 12. It offers a spacious and comfortable setting with 3 king-sized bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a games room for all guests.
Yet, it is the outdoors that truly captivates. Framed by elegant Georgian windows, the garden unfolds with a mesmerising view that stretches to the horizon. Here, you can unwind in a bubbling hot tub, gather for al fresco meals amidst ample seating, or simply wander through the lovingly landscaped two-acre grounds.
For those inclined to explore further, the surrounding area offers endless possibilities. A short drive brings you to the historic town of Ross-on-Wye or the wild woodlands of the Forest of Dean, perfect for a day of hiking or cycling. Nearby, quaint pubs like The Alma beckon with hearty meals and local charm, while fishing lakes and golf courses promise leisurely pursuits just a stone’s throw away. You're also just a short drive away from Gloucester, Cheltenham and all that the Cotswolds has to offer.
In essence, Moonstone Villa is not just a holiday retreat – it is a gateway to moments of shared joy and tranquillity in one of the most beautiful corners of the UK. Whether you are escaping for a weekend or settling in for a week, this haven promises an unforgettable stay steeped in both elegance and comfort.
