  • An area steeped in history and natural outstanding beauty
Property code: OC-55961

Perched on the fringes of a traditional little village in the heart of the Forest of Dean, this delightful cottage has pretty touches in every room and offers a gorgeous retreat whether you want to escape as a couple or a family. The unrivalled view of the village below is breath-taking as you approach the front entrance of the property, offering you something sublime before you even step inside the holiday haven.

Heading into the cottage, you’ll discover all the charm and character of the dining room; a sympathetically restored space featuring an original bread oven and simple yet warm colour scheme. You’ll love being able to sit down with loved ones and enjoy a delicious supper together in the homely room.

Take a step into the lounge and you’ll find striking exposed beams and a warming wood burner, which combine to create a cosy atmosphere for you to unwind after a day of exploration. A subtle blend of muted tones adds to the calming aura of the space, where you can lounge on the comfortable leather sofas adorned with a plethora of cushions, curl up and watch a film together, or simply catch up with friends.

The contemporary kitchen, found at the rear of the cottage, is wonderfully equipped for you to perfect your culinary skills. From an electric oven, microwave, and fridge with ice compartment, to a dishwasher to save you getting your hands dirty and a washing machine if you so feel the need to use it, there are plenty of facilities available. The elegant Mandarin tiles also perfectly complement the worktops and tones, so not only will you have everything you need in one space, but it is a beautiful kitchen in which to cook.

On the ground floor you will also find a family bathroom. This beautifully tiled room gives you the opportunity to relax in style; draw a bath or enjoy a hot shower, washing away all of life’s stresses in an idyllic space.

When the day is done, climb the cottage style stairs to discover two gorgeous bedrooms, the first of which boasts a king-size bed at the heart of a chic, relaxing room. Elegant touches lend the room to be a pure delight to retire to at the end of a long day, plus it also has an exquisitely designed en-suite shower room with WC. The second of the two rooms also has a king-size zip-and-link bed (which can be made into a twin on request).

Outside, there are stunning views to be seen from the enclosed gardens, complete with a table and chairs. Whether you choose to admire the early morning sun whilst sipping a cup of coffee, or make use of the BBQ and enjoy dining al fresco of an evening, you’ll love the cottage’s outdoor space.

We had a really lovely stay at Sunnyside cottage. The location is beautiful with lovely views over the valley and woodland. The cottage was clean, warm and comfortable with everything we needed.

The cottage was a very comfortable base for exploring Gloucestershire and the Wye Valley. The bed in the main bedroom was exceptionally comfortable. Great shower pressure. Parking wasn't a problem for us. Vwe needed phone torches on when we returned after dark but it wasn't an issue. Very secure for our dogs. We had a lovely stay.

We are just returned from a lovely week at Sunnyside Cottage. Parking was always available in the single space lay-by on the road directly below the cottage. Access was then via a short, reasonably steep bridleway. Traffic noise from the road below was minimal giving a good night's sleep. The cottage itself was very clean, with a well equipped kitcRead morehen, comfortable king sized bed with ensuite shower room which had plenty of hot water. (Should your group be 4 people there was also a spacious second bedroom and a downstairs bathroom). An information guide provided by the owners was full of helpful suggestions for things to do in the area and places to eat. The cottage gave easy access to the Forest of Dean and also Worcester, The Malvern Hills and WWT Slimbridge nature reserve for birdwatching. Puzzlewood forest being very local was truly magical to visit. We would highly recommend this cottage as a lovely place to stay. Hide

The cottage itself was nice, if a little smaller than we expected! Was good for our dog with the secure garden! We had lovely walks along the river by the village and to the beaver enclosure. Our main issue was the availability of places to eat nearby. The closest pub did not do food. The other pub was about a 50 min walk away and only did food WedRead more- Sun. The cafe was closed and the fish and chip shop was also only open Wed-Sat! Shop was poor too. Be prepared to cook yourself!
Response from Holiday Cottages: Thank you for your feedback. The owner does include local amenities in their welcome pack but it is also worth checking in advance for seasonal opening. Hide

Lovely cottage and fully equipped. Our only reservation was the early morning traffic due to the close proximity of the road. Also the steep stairs.

Lovely comfortable place, with everything you need. Wonderful welcome pack, loved the Prosecco. Ideal base for driving to local places of interest, returning to a log fire on a cold night and snuggling in. Parking on the verge on the opposite side of the road was straightforward.

loved the cottage. So warm and cosy and beautiful location with views. Loved the pictures on the wall too. The only disappointment was not seeing the wild boars.. but we saw loads of evidence of their snufflings! Thank you also for the welcome hamper - the honey delicious and the bubbles and biscuits were such a lovely little touch. Thank you :)

We enjoyed our stay at Sunnyside Cottage. The cottage had everything we needed and is located in a lovely part of the country. The information provided before our arrival, and the welcoming goodies were appreciated. Whilst there are some short walks around the cottage, the best dog walks are a few miles away - and there are plenty of them.
