The lodge is situated in the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, on the fringes of Goodrich (1 mile) which is renowned for its 13th-century castle and the popular Coppett Hill trail. 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 to 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 settee to view the Smart TV or continue to enjoy the views. The kitchen is well 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 private secluded garden where guests can dine alfresco as they cook from the pizza oven or BBQ. For the cooler evenings, there is a chiminea with seating so guests can enjoy outside for longer.
