The Cider House

The Forest of Dean wraps around this corner of Gloucestershire in thick woodland, ancient tracks and open hillside. The Cider House sits on a working farm just outside Mitcheldean, where the landscape opens into rolling pasture and distant ridges. A recent renovation has left the stone building with modern comfort intact—electric heating, a full kitchen, Wi-Fi—while keeping its rural character.

Downstairs holds a living room with a Smart TV, dining space and kitchen equipped for proper cooking. There is also a twin bedroom and a shower room. Upstairs, a double bedroom has its own ensuite with a bath. You get the whole place to yourselves, with parking for two cars and a private garden where you can sit out over the farmland. One well-behaved dog can stay free. Bed linen, towels and electricity are included.

Miles of woodland walking and cycling start from the doorstep. The Wysis Way and marked forest trails are accessible from Mitcheldean, and bikes can be hired locally. The area suits families, couples and anyone wanting to explore on foot or wheels without fuss. No smoking indoors.
