Pet friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 2 - Cinderford, Gloucestershire

This contemporary hot tub hideaway for two benefits from being located in a town while also surrounded by the idyllic countryside of the Forest of Dean. An open-plan layout with materials reflecting its natural surroundings creates a romantic atmosphere for couples. During your time away, you can explore the nearby nature reserves, historic attractions and beauty spots.

As you enter the annexe, you'll find a stylish open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with warm tones throughout. A plump leather sofa and an armchair offer a cosy space for enjoying quiet evenings. After cooking a meal in the well-sized kitchen area with dark surface tops and shaker-style cabinets, you can tuck in at the dining table for two.

Large sliding doors divide the living space and the tranquil double bedroom. Completing the interior is a walk-in shower room. Outside, you will find a raised terrace with furniture and a six-person hot tub.

While staying on the outskirts of Cinderford, you'll be conveniently close to the town's handful of eateries and shops (within 0.5 miles). Organise a date night at one of the oldest cinemas in the country – Palace Cinema (0.5 miles). Delve into the local history at Littledean Jail Museum (2 miles) and the Dean Heritage Centre (4 miles).

Spend a morning in the magical mossy ancient woodland of Puzzlewood (7.5 miles) before braving the depths of Clearwell Caves (8 miles). Put on your hiking boots and head to the Wye Valley National Landscape (6 miles) for a stomp around Duchess Ride Viewpoint (19 miles) or step back in time with a visit to the Gothic ruins of Tintern Abbey (17 miles) – which you might recognise from scenes in Harry Potter.
