Tucked away on a working farm just outside Mitcheldean, The Cider House is a beautifully renovated stone cottage offering a peaceful countryside escape with views across the rolling hills of the Forest of Dean. Completed in 2025, the renovation has carefully preserved the property’s rural character while introducing stylish modern comforts throughout. On the ground floor, you’ll find a cosy lounge with Smart TV, a light-filled dining room, and a well-equipped kitchen—everything you need for a comfortable self-catering stay. A twin bedroom and a sleek bathroom with a walk-in shower complete the downstairs layout, ideal for guests who prefer level access.

You’ll find miles of woodland walks, cycling trails, scenic viewpoints, and a wealth of wildlife. It’s a dream location for nature lovers, families, and those seeking peaceful rural charm. Walking and cycling are among the most popular activities here. From Mitcheldean, you can access the Wysis Way or head into the woods to follow one of many marked trails through the Forest. Bikes can be hired locally at Cannop Cycle Centre, which also offers family-friendly and off-road tracks. Puzzlewood is a must-see — an ancient woodland filled with twisted trees, secret paths, and moss-covered rocks that have inspired everything from Star Wars to Harry Potter. Symonds Yat offers panoramic views from its rock viewpoint, river cruises, and canoeing trips on the River Wye.
For families, Dean Forest Railway offers a nostalgic steam train experience, while Clearwell Caves take you underground into a network of mining tunnels. Go Ape at Beechenhurst is perfect for thrill-seekers, with high ropes and zip lines. If you’re interested in history and culture, visit Tintern Abbey, Goodrich Castle, or the Dean Heritage Centre. For a relaxed afternoon, explore the nearby market towns of Ross-on-Wye, Monmouth, or Coleford, all filled with independent shops, cafés, and local produce. The area also has a fantastic food and drink scene, with cosy country pubs, riverside restaurants, artisan cider makers, and farm shops. Don’t miss the opportunity to sample local ciders or attend one of the region’s food festivals if your visit coincides. Whether you’re after peace, outdoor adventure, or local discovery, Mitcheldean and the Forest of Dean offer it all in abundance.
