Located just on the outskirts of the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley, an area of endless beauty all year round. Whether you are seeking a relaxing retreat or action packed adventure, there is a catalogue of unforgettable experiences waiting for you.

The village of Longhope has an artisan bakery, a small village shop/post office and 2 pubs. You will also find a craft centre a few hundred yards away, which houses a Cookery School, a Blacksmith, a few craft shops and Tea Rooms.

The property has exposed beams and original stonework and are complemented by the homely décor and furnishings providing modern comfort.
As you enter through the front door, this leads you into the porch area, which is the perfect storage place for any lucky visitors' coats, shoes, wellies and a great place to dry your muddy dog. Through another set of doors brings you straight into the spacious cosy living area furnished with a comfortable leather sofa, coffee table, wood burner and Smart TV and an abundance of DVD's and complimentary WIFI. You will also find a cosy seating area with a leather Chesterfield chair, perfect for reading a good book from our well stocked bookcase.
Leading from the living area is the dining room with a farmhouse table with seating up to six people and the well equipped kitchen with dishwasher, fridge/freezer and electric oven.
Also on this floor is a king size bedroom, with a spacious en-suite walk in shower room.
Moving upstairs you will be greeted with a twin bedroom with a vaulted ceiling and exposed beams. There are 3 single beds, 2 of which are zip and link and makes a very large king size bed when placed together. In this rooms you will also find a childrens dressing up and games wardrobe.
Leading off the bedroom is another en-suite bathroom with a roll top bath, with a picture window overlooking the beautiful gardens.

Outside there is a sunny enclosed garden area, with garden furniture and hot tub which is covered with a gazebo and lighting.

The house and garden sits in the owners property of 7 acres, with beautiful maintained gardens with amazing sculptures by a Herefordshire design artist Simon Probyn. Simon uses recycled steel and iron in his design which can be seen at Chelsea Flower Show, Hampton Court Palace and Malvern Flower Show. He commissioned a piece for us from the iron from our Mill. They are wonderful pieces of sculptures which have to be seen to be appreciated.

The perfect end to your day is a dip in the bubbling hot tub. This
can be added to your stay for an additional charge, please ask at the time of booking.

There is private off road parking available for 2 cars at the property.

There is so much to do in the Forest of Dean and surrounding areas from canoeing the Wye, Llama walking, Go Ape or why not try a craft from being a Blacksmith for the day, jewellery making, enamelling, there is so much to choose from and I would be happy to help you.

A wonderful family stay
A very clean and comfortable property, tastefully decorated and furnished, providing an excellent base from which to explore the Forest of Dean. We paid extra to hire a hot-tube which was enjoyed by us all. The grounds are spacious and lovely too. The fresh cakes that greeted our arrival were delicious! For those not used to living with traffic noise, the proximity to the busy, main road may be an issue, but we're used to it so it did not bother us too much. The owners were lovely and left us to it, while being close on hand had we needed them. Tracey was highly communicative in the run up to our holiday. Thanks to both Tracey and David - you have a lovely holiday home for all to enjoy.

Tracey and David have a fabulous couple of cottages set in beautifully well kept gardens. The cottage we stayed in was super clean and had everything we needed. The hot tub was a fabulous addition. The extra treats were the icing on the cake (excuse the pun!). I would highly recommend this lovely holiday hide away, it's great for all ages - and pups!

Excellent long weekend
There’s so much to like about this property. First of all we received a very warm welcome from Tracey in particular with a delicious home made cake and some nice local products. The cottage itself is very spacious, clean and is very beautifully decorated. The beds were one of the very best we ever had. With our family we had such an enjoyable and relaxing time especially because there is so much to do in the close neighbourhood of the property. We particularly enjoyed the walk to May Hill with its amazing views. We really would like to come back!!!

A lovely weekend near The Forest of Dean
My husband and myself, along with two friends have had an excellent stay at Mill Cottage. The cottage is extremely comfortable and cosy, with all of the facilities that you need for an enjoyable stay. The beds were very comfortable! The wood burner also a big plus. All finishing touches excellent! It is set in very pretty grounds and located in an ideal area for exploring The Forest of Dean. We also visited the nearby Symonds Yat which was lovely. The owners are a stones throw away and they are very welcoming and friendly people without being at all obtrusive. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Mill Cottage and plan to return sometime in the future!

Very pleasant stay in a beautiful property
The property is beautifully furnished with lovely local touches, making it very comfortable to stay in. Tracey was very accommodating even when we had changes to our party. I ended up staying on my own during the first night and Tracey was very reassuring that I could call on her if need be. The extra touches milk, bread and delicious cake along with fresh flowers were very welcome.

Very cosy cottage in idyllic surroundings. The place was well-equipped and everything was spotless and clean. Nice little extras like home-made cake, local bread and beer when we arrived was a nice surprise. We enjoyed our stay and had a couple of relaxing days :-)

A lovely property and very welcoming.
We had a lovely time enhanced by good weather so we were out and about a lot ,we enjoyed evenings in with log fires,which was lovely. The cottage is quite close to a mainish road and there were lorries rumbling past during the night,but that was only a minor downside. We may return.

Amazing and would return in a heartbeat
I can not recommend this cottage enough. The welcome we received was amazing ( and a homemade cake to top it off) and the cottage is just gorgeous and has everything you could possibly need. We had an fabulous 2 night stay here which was a relaxing girlie weekend away. There is plenty to do around the area and also a small walk to the local pub for some very nice food. Overall I have no faults at all about the cottage and will be returning one day soon hopefully. Book it now if you are considering it, Just absolutely stunning.
