Hillside Hideaway

The Forest of Dean spreads across ancient woodland, rolling terrain and hidden valleys—a landscape where walking and cycling reveal something new at every turn. Hillside Hideaway sits on the edge of this landscape, a single-storey property designed for couples or friends seeking a quiet base. Access is straightforward, with just two steps to the entrance and everything on one level.

The open-plan living space combines lounge, kitchen and dining area in one light room, with a wood-burning stove, Smart TV, and a sofa bed for flexible sleeping. The kitchen has an induction hob, electric oven, microwave and fridge; you can cook properly or keep things simple. Double doors lead to a glass-fronted balcony furnished for eating outside, looking out over forest and estuary. The double bedroom is compact and comfortable, with an en-suite shower room. Behind the property, a garden area with seating offers a place to rest between outings. Wi-Fi, heating, bed linen and towels are included; the wood-burner comes with its first load of fuel. Parking for two cars sits on the property. Smoking is not permitted.

Nearby, the Sculpture Trail weaves outdoor art through the trees, while Soudley Ponds and Beechenhurst offer straightforward walks. The Family Cycle Trail provides an easy, mostly off-road route for less experienced riders, with more demanding mountain-bike options for those seeking them.
