Cathy's Say

From these holiday cottages Gloucestershire and all its attractions are within easy reach. Situated on the edge of the Severn plain and backed by the wooded hills of the Forest of Dean, Cheltenham and Gloucester lie just a short drive to the east with the inviting Cotswolds rising abruptly just beyond. The Forest of Dean occupies high land between the Severn and Wye valleys. It is one of the few remaining ancient woodlands in England and has a distinct cultural identity, whilst the winding River Severn, which bisects the county, meanders past orchards and meadows as well as historic towns such as Tewksbury.

Property Description

Set down a tree lined drive, these converted, spacious and immaculately presented cottages are delightfully located on the fringes of the village of Blaisdon. Famous for its plum orchards and voted best kept village four times in recent years, Blaisdon boasts many timber framed buildings dating back to the 15th century – the excellent local pub is just a 300 yard stroll. Stud Farm itself is a working farm once home to Blaisdon Conqueror, the world’s largest Shire horse (his bones are now in the British Museum) and makes an ideal base for exploring the Forest of Dean. A haven for wildlife and setting for the Cannop Valley and Nags Head RSPB reserves, the Forest is crisscrossed by nature trails and cycleways – superb for walking and mountain biking. The fascinating Clearwell Caves iron mines, steam train trips and a wide variety of outdoor activities are all easily accessible as are water sports at Ross-on-Wye, the cathedral city of Gloucester and its historic docks (10 miles), Cheltenham and Hereford. Shop 1 mile.
