Inside

Modern with a cosy feel, Rowan Tree Retreat is the holiday cottage you may never want to leave. With neutral walls throughout, the space feels light, bright and airy. The open plan living, dining and kitchen space is the heart of this home. With characterful high oak ceiling beams presiding, the space is impressive. With two comfortable sofas in the lounge area, along with a Smart TV. And with fast Wi-Fi you can continue with your favourite streamed shows. Or keep the family entertained with a competitive game of pool, table tennis or LED table football or one of the many board games.  The fully fitted kitchen is well equipped for budding and experienced chefs. With an oven and hob, a microwave, fridge, plus a table top freezer. There’s also a dishwasher, so there’s no need to pack the marigolds. You also have access to a washing machine, ideal for those who enjoy getting muddy! With two bedrooms, the master being a sumptuous super-king size. The second bedroom also has king size bed, which can be split into a twin if needed. And of course, a bathroom, which has a walk in shower.

Outside

The cottage is set amidst the woodland, lending an enchanting feel. You’ll have the run of the fully enclosed garden, which leads you directly into the Forest of Dean, with stunning walks along the picturesque River Wye.  Try your hand at grilling an al fresco feast at the barbecue. And enjoy the spoils of your venture at the outdoor dining set, with a parasol – should you be lucky enough to see the sun. And make sure you pack your swimwear to take full advantage of the luxury cedar hot tub. Marvel at the incredible clear skies and lose yourself in the twinkling nights.
