The village of Ruspidge sits on the fringes of Cinderford within the heart of the Forest of Dean. You can leave the car behind and gain access into the forest by foot, stroll down to the Soudley ponds or meander through the woodlands with deer and wild boar, or take in the sheer climbing face of the Shakemantle quarry. The Dean Heritage centre is within easy reach where you can step back in time. For cyclists you can access the Forest on the many cycling trails or explore the downhill mountain bike trail. You are also within easy reach of the Wye Valley great for rock climbing, river walks, kayaking and caving. Other attractions include Hopewell Colliery, Goodrich Castle, Go Ape, the Sculpture Trail and Cyril Hart Arboretum.

Step inside this peaceful bolthole built for two where the kitchen/diner has been handcrafted cleverly to enhance the overall charm. The kitchen with wooden block work tops and cabinets are well stocked with electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge with freezer compartment, washing machine, Bluetooth DAB radio/speaker and a contemporary sink to enhance its charm, here there is also a TV with a Chromecast. The reclaimed scaffolding boards and handcrafted table really showcase the dining area which is perfect for two whether it’s a simple supper or morning coffee. The open-plan hall way gives access to a cosy lounge with painted stone work and exposed beams, sink into the leather sofas with colourful cushions and throws to enjoy a movie on the TV. And when the day is done there is a double bedroom with Velux window where you can enjoy the stars. The shower room with shower and WC completed the accommodation.

Amazing property in an amazing location. A cosy, warm place to relax in after long walks in the Forest of Dean just a few minutes away from Cinderford town centre. It was definitely a home away from home and would love to return one day.

Really enjoyed our stay. Very close to walking trails in the forest of dean which was great. Enjoyed the choice of dvds and the cottage had a very quirky feel. Had everything we needed and was very cosy. Particularly enjoyed mallards pike, sculpture trail, symonds yat and food at the rising sun inn.

Fabulous stay, comfortable bed and sofas. All equipment you could need in kitchen and salt, pepper etc. Suggestions for places to visit and eat were excellent and offered a good variety of ideas. Shower malfunctioned during stay, was replaced within 24 hours. These things can happen but the resolution was so fast, I was really impressed. Would defiRead morenitely recommend this accommodation and area. Hide

Lovely cottage, in a stunning location. Perfect place to use as a base if you're going off walking or cycling - plenty of routes from the front door (or a short drive away!)

We enjoyed our stay at Stone End Lodge. It was cosy and comfortable for us and our dog. It provided the ideal base for discovering local trails and visiting nearby towns. We would stay here again and would recommend the lodge to friends and family.

Nice place to stay.Lovely & quiet. Ideal for a countryside getaway. We took the dog so a fenced in area around the property wouldve been preferred but we coped without this.
