Haylands End

Bring everyone together at this spacious country cottage, where characterful original features meet stylish interiors in a peaceful pocket of the Gloucestershire countryside. Spend a day in the Forest of Dean, following twisting woodland paths through the magical Puzzlewood (19 miles) before stopping for a hearty pub lunch on the way home.

Gloucestershire’s historic market town of Newent is just 2.5 miles away, boasting independent shops, medieval timber-framed buildings, and gorgeous surrounding landscapes like the daffodil-laden Kempley Woods. When you fancy a change of scene, head into Gloucester city centre to explore its impressive cathedral and famous links to a wizarding film franchise.

Alongside the region's many walking trails and historic sights, golfers can enjoy a round at the scenic Ross-on-Wye Golf Club, located just 6 miles away. Step inside this idyllic property to find a perfect blend of calming colours, characterful exposed beams, and deep, comfortable furniture.

You are greeted by a main hallway that leads to a handy playroom stocked with board games for family nights in, as well as a practical utility room equipped with a washing machine, electric airer, and WC. Move through to the large lounge to enjoy beautiful garden views, with double doors opening directly onto the rear patio.

Here, you can settle into the plush seating and unwind in front of the crackling wood burner with a blockbuster movie on the Smart TV. The kitchen/diner is fully equipped with an Aga, electric oven and hob, fridge-freezer, and microwave, making it easy to create culinary delights.

Perch at the breakfast bar for a morning coffee, or gather around the solid wooden table for formal mealtimes. Bi-folding doors seamlessly connect this space to the patio, allowing you to bring the outdoors in while you dine.
