Cosy 18th century cottage. Pet friendly. Absolute tranquility!

No.2 Bridge cottage was built in the 1800's and for a period of time operated as a local drinking house, and clearly a popular one, as the worn stone doorstep shows! The cottage boasts lots of character including a stone fireplace, country cottage garden and large open plan kitchen - dining room.

The space is entirely self contained, but situated only 3 miles from the owners so we're always on hand to help make your stay the best possible.

The spacious back garden, kitted out with table and chairs and a summer house offers the opportunity to watch and listen to the many visiting birds (from tiny blue tits to red-bellied wood peckers), whilst enjoying views of the surrounding fields and woodland. The large garden shed can be used to securely store mountain bikes etc if needed. The garden is securely fenced so is dog friendly.

Inside, the downstairs consists of an open-plan kitchen/dining room with french doors overlooking the garden. The large lounge boasts the beautiful stone fireplace and plenty of comfortable seating to relax on. The cottage has plenty of books, DVDs and games to keep all visitors entertained. The TV has freeview channels for your use and a HDMI cable to connect laptops if desired. Please note the cottage is in a very rural location so downloads speeds are variable and it is not always possible to stream television / films.

The kitchen includes all the cooking essentials needed including an electric hob, oven, fridge / freezer, microwave, toaster and kettle. You will also have full access to the utility room including a washing machine and tumble dryer.

The 2nd floor includes 1 double bedroom, 1 twin room, 1 single room and the large family bathroom (with free standing bath and separate shower). The attic holds a further double room with en-suite shower room, providing the best views of the surrounding area.

Within walking distance from the house is St Antony's well (fabled to cure a range of ailments from bathing in the water), Welshbury iron-age hill fort, Flaxley woods and Chestnut woods, making it the ideal base to explore either on foot or bike, the local countryside. Further afield there is a wide range of family friendly tourist attractions to enjoy, during your stay we would be delighted to help you choose the best places for you to visit.

No.2 Bridge Cottage is ideal for anyone looking to escape to the countryside, hear the birds sing and enjoy the beauty of a silent nights sleep.
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen and 2 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and an electric kettle.

Lovely stay, faultless check in.Great communication with host.Lovely cottage in a beautiful area, with good facilities. A handbook with instructions to work, hot tub and electric hob would have been helpful and some information on local area, shops, restaurants etc. Inside cottage was fresh and clean, bedding very, very cosy. Roll top bath a great addition.Unable to light log burner as logs too big and kindling not chopped up small enough/ no firelighters. Which was a little disappointing .Outdoor area with great large peaceful garden. Could do with a little tidy up with lots of cobwebs on patio doors. Overall a pleasant stay

Everything about our stay was exemplary. The host is brilliant at communicating and the travel directions were clear and easy to follow. Parking was good and access to the property was easy. The location is great for exploring the area and we couldn’t believe the absolute tranquility and lack of light pollution that helped you relax. However it was the property and facilities that were amazing. The property was spotless throughout and the host had ensured that every you may need was available. The welcome was amazing for us and our pets that were allowed to stay as well. All of the rooms were light and airy and very comfortable. The house was a home from home and made you feel relaxed from the time you arrived, helped on part by the fabulous hot tub. If you are looking for a relaxing break with family or friends then this is perfect. We didn’t have children with us but there were facilities provided if you do. I would stay here again and would recommend that if the photos caught your eye to stay here
