Overview
Property code: 83673

Nestled into the valley, this converted cider mill is surrounded by mature cottage gardens with stunning views. A great base for exploring the Forest of Dean whilst escaping the hustle and bustle of everyday living.

A traditional cottage with exposed beams and stonework, this beautifully converted former cider mill offers relaxing holiday accommodation for four guests. Situated in a remote location in the Wye Valley, the cottage offers stunning views over the Forest of Dean and is a wonderful base for keen walkers and nature lovers exploring this unforgettable region. Accessible by foot only, the cottage lies at the end of a steep path and makes a truly secluded retreat for couples, families or friends seeking a tranquil rural getaway.

The stylish kitchen/breakfast room features a glass roof allowing light to flood in, and is a sociable space perfect for rustling up your favourite meals, with a delightful dining area ideal for breakfast or supper. The cosy wood-panelled snug provides a more formal dining space, perfect for a special family meal, along with a selection of books and board games. With a wood burner and TV, the welcoming lounge is an ideal space to sit back at the end of a great day. Upstairs there are two cosy bedrooms: a king-size room, and a super-king-size which has a TV and steps leading to a garden room, perfect for a morning coffee. The property also has a ground-floor shower room and first-floor bathroom. Outside, the raised terrace has outdoor furniture and a summerhouse with a chiminea. There’s an acre of mature gardens for you to explore, and you’re welcome to help yourself to produce growing within the grounds.

The village of Lydbrook has some great places to eat and drink, and is perfect for exploring the Wye Valley and the Forest of Dean.

We absolutely loved Mill Cottage. Spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated with lots of homely touches, we felt instantly at home in front of a roaring fire. The kitchen is so well equipped and I've ordered an espresso machine which was a lovely extra particularly the festive coffee pods in our welcome hamper. Do not be put off by the climb to thRead moree cottage, it's well worth the walk for the peace and views, we also got used to the climb very quickly. Would definitely return to this property. Hide

Just returned from a weekend stay and could not recommend any higher. Accommodated our VERY last minute booking after a cancellation. Absolutely everything has been thought of and provided. Stunning property, beautiful grounds, great access to walks and a local shop and pub less than 5 min walk.

The cottage is in a lovely location set up on the side of the valley. Be prepared to carry your luggage uphill on an uneven path. But the effort is,worth it! Kitchen was fantastically well-equipped for a self-catering cottage.

Comfortable, very clean (despite being dog friendly) and spacious living accommodation. Far enough away from the road to be wonderfully quiet at night. Large enclosed garden which was enjoyed by all the family including the dog. Parking provided a couple of minutes walk from the cottage. My partner struggled with the path to the cottage, but a smalRead morel price to pay for the peace and quiet. Hide

A beautiful, comfortable, cottage which exceeded our expectations. The bed was very comfortable. It had lovely gardens, and it was close to lots of places of interest. We'd both had covid, the previous two weeks before the visit, so the walk up to the cottage wasn't the easiest but we managed. It's best to bring luggage in small cases/bags, which wRead moree did luckily. Hide

Great week away with friends, in a great location for days out and walks. Extremely well equipped and very comfortable. Lovely place to relax after a full day of exploring. Great chippy down the road.
