Perched on beautiful Shapridge Hill, at the end of a quiet track, Robin and Wren cottages are a haven of peace and tranquility. Footpaths lead from your door onto a vast network of forest paths. The local town of Mitcheldean (3miles) provides good local amenities, including pubs, Co-op.
Perfect for the keen birdwatcher, as an abundance of birdlife can be observed from our hide; from nuthatch to green woodpecker and if you are lucky, even red kite!In summer the house martins, swallows and swifts put on a spectacular flying display as they dip and dive over the wildlife pond and garden.

Perched on a sunny hillside at the edge of the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley, Area of Outstanding natural beauty, the cottage is a haven of peace and tranquillity and perfect for those who enjoy nature, walking, biking, canoeing and fishing. Footpaths lead from the front door onto a vast network of Forest paths and tracks; you can literally walk for miles!
As animal lovers ourselves, we know that it is great to be able to take your pet with you on holiday and know that they are having a good time too! The Forest of Dean is the perfect location for dogs in particular as there are miles upon miles of footpaths to explore and lots of good foresty smells to investigate.

Little Owl is a cosy space, one of 3 at Dean Cottages next to a farm with delightfully curious sheep. There are no windows but 4 skylights flood the place in light. The bed is blissfully comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped whether you want to go small with beans on toast or go big, with a roast dinner. The weather wasn't great while we were there though we managed to breakfast with the birds outside one morning. We also enjoyed a glass of wine in the garden as the sun went down. Indeed, location, location, location is the real star of the show at Dean Cottages. It has stunning scenery

Lovely little gem of a cottage in a stunning location. Very clean and fully equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Extremely dog friendly with lots of lovely open walks close by and fabulous views. Karen is a perfect host, she is very friendly and always happy to help. Would definitely stay again.
