Full of Character

The interiors are thoughtfully styled with high-quality finishes throughout. Enjoy crisp white linen, plush pillows, and cosy duvets for a restful night’s sleep, and unwind in the spacious bathroom featuring a deep bath and overhead shower.

The fully equipped kitchen includes integrated appliances and a Nespresso machine, ideal for preparing home-cooked meals or your morning coffee. For entertainment and convenience, the cottage also offers Smart TVs and fast, reliable Wi-Fi.

Outdoor Space to Relax & Unwind

Step outside into a generous enclosed garden, perfect for enjoying the great outdoors. The decking area with BBQ and outdoor dining furniture is ideal for al fresco meals or unwinding with a glass of wine under the stars.

A welcome hamper awaits you on arrival, and we provide all the essentials to help you settle in, including a starter supply of tea, coffee, firewood, fresh bedding, and towels.

Ideal Location for Exploring

Church Cottage is just a short stroll from Clearwell Castle, making it a convenient and comfortable choice for wedding guests. You’ll also be within walking distance of local favourites like The Butchers Arms pub and the Tudor Farmhouse Restaurant.

Outdoor enthusiasts will love the direct access to walking and cycling routes through the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley, with destinations like Gloucester, Cheltenham, Hereford, the Brecon Beacons, and Bristol all within easy reach by car.

Puzzlewood of Star Wars fame and Clearwell Caves are both within walking distance of the cottage. Beechenhurst, Dean Heritage Centre, Perrygrove Railway, Forest of Dean Steam Railway, The Sculpture Trail, Symonds Yat and Tintern Abbey are all a short drive away.

Good to Know
