Oak Villa

Oak Villa works well for families or small groups wanting a complete house to themselves in Drybrook. Three bedrooms across two floors sleep up to five: a kingsize, a double, and a single. The single bathroom has a bath with shower, and upstairs there's a woodburner in the living room, a dining area, and a kitchen with an electric oven, induction hob, dishwasher and breakfast bar. Essentials like heating, electricity, bedding and towels are covered, plus wifi throughout.

The real draw is the private hot tub in the enclosed back garden, which has a summerhouse and sitting area with furniture. There's parking for three cars at the rear. One dog or cat can stay free. The property is no-smoking, and you'll find Creative Woodturning nearby if you want to explore the area. Drybrook sits within the Forest of Dean, so woodland walks start on the doorstep.
