Located within the grounds of Harts Barn Craft Centre, this retreat is perfectly placed for couples and their dogs to enjoy the best of the Forest of Dean. The on-site tearoom and cookery school offer a wonderful addition to your stay, whether you're stopping for coffee and cake, enjoying a leisurely lunch, or trying a new culinary experience. With miles of ancient woodland 3 miles from your doorstep, the Forest of Dean is ideal for scenic walks and cycling adventures, with a network of trails to suit all abilities. For those seeking a little more excitement, within 12 miles, Symonds Yat offers canoeing, caving and rock climbing, while Go Ape at Mallards Pike and the downhill mountain biking tracks at Sallow Vallets provide thrills for outdoor enthusiasts. The area is also home to popular attractions including Clearwell Caves, Hopewell Colliery, Puzzlewood and Perrygrove Railway, all within 10 miles.


Step aboard this beautifully restored railway cargo carriage to enjoy a unique countryside escape on the fringe of the Forest of Dean. Privately positioned with enclosed gardens backing onto open countryside, it offers the perfect setting for a relaxing getaway. Inside, the surprisingly spacious open-plan living area showcases original railway features alongside comfortable vintage furnishings. Sink into the cosy sofas beside the wood burner, complete with a traditional kettle for your morning coffee. A well-equipped kitchen and bespoke breakfast bar provide everything needed for leisurely meals together. The separate bedroom offers a peaceful retreat, featuring original carriage doors that can be opened to welcome the morning sunshine and fresh country air. Completing the accommodation is a stylish shower room, where a corrugated steel backdrop reflects the carriage's industrial heritage.


The enclosed garden is designed for relaxation, whether you're soaking up the sunshine with a good book or enjoying the countryside surroundings. Rinse off under the outdoor shower before unwinding in the wood-fired hot tub or take an invigorating dip in the natural spring-water plunge pool. The garden is ideal for guests travelling with dogs, and there is off-road parking for two cars and secure bike storage.
