This secluded, woodland getaway is the perfect choice for a family looking for a peaceful spot in the forest. A short drive from Lydney and the Forest of Dean, it offers a tranquil hub where you can unwind after taking advantage of all the activities available in the area.
hidden away down a country track which meanders through the trees, you will find the cottage set within its own enclosed garden When you step from your car you are immediately enveloped in calm with only nature and wildlife for neighbours, including local wild boar.
entering through the large wooden double doors you can leave your walking boots and jackets in the entrance hall Here you can find games to enjoy outdoors in sunnier weather and it is worth looking up to appreciate the open brickwork and beams which you will find throughout the cottage.

The adjoining kitchen has a large oven/hob and a dining table to enjoy meals and make plans for the following day. Large traditional glass doors open to the patio from here letting you bring the fresh country air indoors.

Picnic tables on the patio outside the kitchen allow you to take meals outside and a smaller garden table and chairs at the front is the perfect space to try and spot the wild boar hidden in the surrounding trees. With nothing to interrupt your thoughts but the sound of birds and gently flowing water, the tranquillity of The Old Pump House is unmatched.

Summary: We booked very last minute so there was only 2 nights available for our dates but we wanted secluded, peace and quite, pretty scenery, a little bit of luxury and somewhere nice to walk. The Old Pump house gave us all of this. The drive up to the property through the forest was idyllic. The rooms were huge, all the beds and sofa were comfortable. The kitchen was large and had every utensil you could require. We had a long drive and managed to get in slightly earlier and the house keeper was quick in responding and very friendly. The biscuits on arrival were a nice touch. If I had to say a negative it was that the heating was on full heat when we arrived and was far too much and took a long time to get it down to a comfortable level, but underfloor heating was lovely! Being secluded you do need a car to get to any amenities but we knew that before arriving and wasn't a problem for us. We would definitely like to stay again.
