Enjoying a tranquil setting at the head of a picturesque meadow, this beautifully finished shepherd’s hut is simply perfect for couples wanting to escape the hustle and bustle of the everyday. Woolaston Common is home to two great pubs both within 1 mile, along with a well-stocked village store. A great base for exploring the Wye Valley, Forest of Dean and Welsh Mountains, walkers can join a waymarked trail from the doorstep which will guide you across the surrounding countryside. The Offa’s Dyke trail can also be picked up in Tidenham Chase (5 miles) where you can climb up to the Devil’s Pulpit and enjoy views across the River Wye and Tintern Abbey. The Forest of Dean offers great mountain biking, climbing and kayaking. The medieval market town of Chepstow (7 miles) is steeped in history with a fine castle that overlooks the river Wye and Regency Bridge, a racecourse with a year-round events calendar and a museum.

This charming shepherd's hut is surrounded by breathtaking countryside. Open the double doors, leave your boots on the step and head inside. Cleverly designed with beautiful interiors and simple touches of comfort, the open-plan living area offers space for relaxing with a table and chairs that front a wood burning stove that’s perfect for a chilly autumn evening. A bespoke kitchen with wooden worktops and Belfast sink offers everything you may need for preparing meals during your stay. The built-in king-size bed with soft bed linens and blankets for a peaceful night’s rest, is positioned with a window where you can enjoy views of the meadow. A collection of interesting reads and local information is also available. A shower room finished with fluffy dressing gowns and slippers completes this property.

Outside, you are free to roam the meadow; look out for the wild orchids in early summer or enjoy spotting the various wildlife. A wood-fired hot soaking tub (without jets) is the perfect way to relax whilst stargazing, or simply sink back into one of the garden chairs to enjoy a chapter of a good book. A charcoal and gas BBQ are on hand for summer dining.

We can't get over the location - perfectly secluded and peaceful for a romantic getaway. Hut Eliza is planned out to perfection with everything we needed. Lovely to adventure into the Forest of Dean. Liz and Tim were perfect hosts and so welcoming and helpful. Can't wait to come back.

Huts like this often look to be in a field on their own. But its all about the camera angle. Rest assured, you are on your own (except for rabbits). The hut is tiny. But everything you could ever want, or need has been squeezed into it, in a way that is beautiful, uncluttered and cozy. When we stayed the temperatures were in the low 30s, but the HuRead moret remained as cool as you could hope for. The owners have a great guide to the area, and the local pub (signposted) is just a short walk. Perfect! Hide

This is a lovely little space in a great location. The cabin is beautifully appointed, very comfortable, and set in its own small grass meadow, away from the owners' house and shielded from the lane - you really feel like you're in a world of your own. The area is very quiet and surrounded by beautiful fields and woodland to walk in, with views of Read morethe Severn not far away. A lovely escape! Hide

The hut was beautiful an just what we needed for some space, lovely and tranquil. It was made even more special when my partner proposed to me as we sat outside the hut with the view of the gorgeous meadow.Read more We visited the local pub 'The Rising Sun' for both Saturday and Sunday lunch and the food was fantastic.
