When you arrive you will want to immediately pull on your walking boots and head into the woodland. Sitting in the village of Viney Hill near Lydney you are within walking distance of The New Inn and just a short drive from Lydney where you'll find shops, pubs and a station for the heritage steam railway. Encompassed by garden views, Keeper's Cottage embraces its surroundings. Two sitting rooms and a glorious conservatory let you choose where to spend your time whether you'd prefer to read or watch a film with the family. If you're staying in, the kitchen has everything you need and you can spend a long evening chatting and drinking wine beside the fire. Three bedrooms, two of which can be arranged as a twin or double, make this house an ideal choice for families. Children can have a bed each while couples can spread out in a super king-size bed. The whole house feels warm and welcoming letting you have a real break of rest and relaxation. Stepping outside, the garden is a treasure trove of delights. Birds often twitter past and you may spot the woodcocks, goshawks and secretive owls in the evenings. Embracing rewilding the garden is an English cottage delight with native flowers coming to life each season. Explore the apple orchard beside the pond and bring out some loungers to the front lawn to catch some rays. This Forest of Dean haven will become a firm favourite year after year as you discover this magical area. Ground Floor Kitchen/Diner A traditional country kitchen sets the scene at Keeper's Cottage with its characterful blue touches and wooden dining table. You can hideaway here and cook up a storm for the whole group to enjoy together, inside or out. After muddy walks a handy washing machine can handle the load and there is a useful storage cupboard for stashing your luggage. Shower Room At the end of the kitchen is one of the three bathrooms, this one has a shower with a rainfall head, WC and basin. Living Room Snug and cosy, the living room is a joy to curl up in. Comfortable sofas and a roaring wood burner make you feel at home so you can really relax and enjoy this peaceful spot. A selection of books are here for you to choose from, watch TV, or switch off and listen to the birds outside. Conservatory Surrounded by the vibrant garden the conservatory is a fantastic room where you can be immersed in nature no matter what the weather. Spend some time birdwatching and have a quiet moment to yourself. Snug If you're staying as a family, younger guests will enjoy having some space to themselves. There's plenty of space to get the toys out or to watch their favourite cartoons. Books and games are kept here so there is no end to the entertainment. First Floor Bedroom One The master bedroom has a garden view from the king-size bed, there's no place better to wake up. Finished in soft olive hues this room brings the outdoors in and is spacious and flooded with light. En-Suite This bedroom benefits from an en-suite where you find a bath with a shower over, WC and basin. Shower Room With the shower room on the ground floor, each bedroom can have its own bathroom. This shower room has a shower, WC and basin. Bedroom Two An exposed stone wall in bedroom two fills this room with character. Once a fireplace it now adds texture and interest. The super king-size bed can be arranged as a twin on request and there is plenty of storage space. Bedroom Three The final bedroom looks out across the forest, inviting you to head out first thing and explore. Adding flexibility, the king-size bed can be a twin on request and would be great for younger guests. Outside The garden is what gives Keeper's Cottage an extra special touch. Left to embrace nature it blooms with life and colour showcasing snowdrops and bluebells through to roses and magnolia. Hidden spots to have a quiet drink and enjoy the views are scattered across the garden and at the bottom end you will find a small pond and orchard of apple trees.

Well equipped and comfortable. We were very lucky with the weather and ate outside for every meal. Our two dogs loved the walks in the forest where we saw deer but no wild boars. a peaceful break and we'd love to go back This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 1 Jul 2025 #### lovely comfortable cottage in a beautiful, peaceful environment - idyllic Very comfortable place to stay, with a beautifully tranquil garden setting, right on the edge of the forest. We settled in very quickly as everything was perfect, the garden was a wonderfully restful place to sit and read and listen to the birdsong. The forest tracks are right outside the garden gate, a great place to walk the dog and do some bird spotting and our trip to Lydney Harbour and walk along the Severn estuary was lovely. We would love to come back.

The garden was wonderful, full of interest, large and completely secure for our dog. You could walk straight into the forest from your doorstep and see deer within a few steps. The cottage itself was very comfortable- plenty of space for everyone and very clean. We would go back in a heartbeat!

Lovely secure garden and it was great to walk straight out of the cottage into the forest, our dog loved this. We were a family of 4 adult and there was plenty of space for us to relax. We enjoyed sitting in the conservatory watching the birds. ##### Sue G. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 11 Aug 2025 #### Fabulous location. Very peaceful We had a very relaxing stay. The house is comfortable and the garden really lovely. We appreciated the welcome hamper items thank you. The location is incredible - so many walks right from the door and only a short drive to other interesting places. The dishwasher wasn't doing a great job of washing things so we cleaned out the filters and it seemed to work better. i'd very happily stay again. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Carden Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Carden-Park.h190780.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h7234788.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Stansted Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stansted-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Stansted-Airport.h18464320.Hotel-Information) > > [Stratford Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stratford-Upon-Avon-Hotels-Stratford-Manor.h27936.Hotel-Information) > > [Ashford International Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashford-Hotels-Ashford-International-Hotel.h527123.Hotel-Information) > > [Retallack Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Columb-Major-Hotels-Retallack-Resort.h4537229.Hotel-Information) > > [Bloc Hotel London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Bloc-Hotel-London-Gatwick-Airport.h6594190.Hotel-Information) > > [Sand Bay Holiday Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Weston-Super-Mare-Hotels-Sand-Bay-Holiday-Village.h11443695.Hotel-Information) > > [St Michael's Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Falmouth-Hotels-St-Michaels-Resort.h2951426.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Stratford Upon Avon by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stratford-Upon-Avon-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Stratford-Upon-Avon.h11307.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h20753.Hotel-Information) > > [Norbreck Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Norbreck-Castle-Hotel.h6377.Hotel-Information) > > [Eastwell Manor, Champneys Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashford-Hotels-Eastwell-Manor.h905662.Hotel-Information) > > [Camelot Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tintagel-Hotels-Camelot-Castle-Hotel.h8083111.Hotel-Information) > > [Hollins Hall Hotel, Golf & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shipley-Hotels-Hollins-Hall-Hotel.h63744.Hotel-Information) > > [Chesford Grange Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kenilworth-Hotels-Chesford-Grange.h920291.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Burstin Hotel Folkestone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Folkestone-Hotels-Grand-Burstin-Hotel-Folkestone.h1201483.Hotel-Information) > > [The Mill Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-The-Mill-Hotel-Spa.h1695656.Hotel-Information) > > [Village Hotel Manchester Ashton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashton-Under-Lyne-Hotels-Village-Hotel-Manchester-Ashton.h1848975.Hotel-Information) > > [The Winchester Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-The-Winchester-Hotel-Spa.h26080.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton at St George's Park, Burton Upon Trent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burton-On-Trent-Hotels-Hilton-At-St-Georges-Park.h5094740.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel Manchester, Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel-Manchester.h120016.Hotel-Information) > > [The Spa Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Royal-Tunbridge-Wells-Hotels-The-Spa-Hotel.h8849.Hotel-Information) > > [Hythe Imperial Hotel Spa & Golf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Hythe-Imperial-Hotel-Spa-Golf.h9108.Hotel-Information) > > [The Rutland Arms Hotel, Bakewell, Derbyshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bakewell-Hotels-The-Rutland-Arms-Hotel.h792056.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Beach Club & Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salcombe-Hotels-Harbour-Beach-Club-Hotel-Spa.h2261933.Hotel-Information) > > [Fistral Beach Hotel and Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newquay-Hotels-Fistral-Beach-Hotel-And-Spa-Adults-Only.h1895493.Hotel-Information) > > [Worcester Whitehouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worcester-Hotels-Worcester-Whitehouse.h18498.Hotel-Information) > > [Cotswolds Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chipping-Norton-Hotels-Cotswolds-Hotel-Spa.h13106835.Hotel-Information)
