Tudor Farmhouse Hotel

Tudor Farmhouse Hotel is a gorgeous small hotel, one of the best. Sitting on the edge of the Forest of Dean, a magical world of woodland walks, medieval castles, meandering rivers and bleating sheep await you.

You will be in the middle of a tiny village with countryside views all around.

Step inside to find sparkling interiors – Colin and Hari have spent a small fortune turning their realm into something very special indeed. An airy elegance mixes with golden stone walls and original timber frames, the house bearing testament to its Tudor roots.

Big or small, bedrooms are divine – stylishly uncluttered with smart fabrics, robes in fine bathrooms and super-comfy beds. Those in the main house have ancient beamed ceilings, those in the old barns have original stone walls. The bigger rooms are faultless: the best beds, claw-foot baths, enormous showers, the lap of luxury.

Lovely local food awaits downstairs, perhaps cider-cured salmon, haunch of venison or rhubarb Bakewell tart.

You can kayak on the Wye, forage in the forest, take to cycle tracks. Don’t miss Puzzlewood or Clearwell Caves.

Some areas of the hotel are dog friendly but not all. Please check first.
