Overview
Property code: 88590

The lodge is situated in the Wye Valley National Landscape, on the fringes of Goodrich (1 mile) which is renowned for its 13th-century castle and the popular Coppett Hill trail. Enjoy afternoon drinks at the local pub, 1 mile away, which can be accessed over farmland via a gate at the end of the garden. Local activities include canoeing, fishing, cycle trails, rock climbing and many miles of footpaths. You may wish to visit the Forest of Dean (9 miles) and take a steam train ride through spectacular scenery or visit the filming locations of Harry Potter and Star Wars. Nearby are the historical towns of Ross-on-Wye (7 miles) with its 17th-century market house and Monmouth (6.5 miles), the birthplace of King Henry V. The cathedral city of Hereford (21 miles) offers an array of shops and restaurants.

This open-plan lodge is situated above a private garage for parking your car and is large enough to store mountain bikes and canoes. There are additional storage units and a small freezer for your stay. The stairs from the garage lead you into your accommodation where your holiday truly begins. Perfectly situated below the window is a breakfast bar where you can enjoy a meal or a drink whilst enjoying the undisturbed panoramic view. There is a wood burner and a comfortable reclining sofa to watch the Smart TV or continue to enjoy the views. The well-designed kitchen is equipped for all your catering needs. A cedar sliding door takes you into the double bedroom with a hanging rail and drawer space. From the window, there are more views of the rolling countryside. The en-suite bathroom is stylishly tiled throughout.

From the living room, you will step into ‘The Garden Room’, a thoughtful extension to the property boasting additional seating for you to enjoy the verdant views from the triple-aspect windows while you take time out together. From here, a door leads to the private secluded garden where you can dine alfresco as they cook on the pizza oven or BBQ. For the cooler evenings, there is a chiminea with seating allowing you to enjoy the outside for longer.
