We think our holiday hideaway, Pike House Cottage, could be an ideal holiday cottage for your self-catering accommodation stay while walking or cycling in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, UK. We have a lockable workshop in which to store bikes and a drying area for outside clothes accessible from an outside door.
Climb up into the Forest of Dean, which soars to 290 metres at its highest point, and enjoy walking and cycling in this ancient Forest, designated the country's first National Forest Park in 1938, surrounded by free roaming sheep and fallow deer. (Quote from www.wyedeantourism.co.uk/)
The Forest of Dean provides such varied terrain and scenery, with an extensive network of stoned, roads and paths, it is perfect for cyclists of all abilities. Road riders can look forward to winding country lanes and short hill climbs. Families can use the popular cycle paths in the Cannop Valley safely away from traffic, and for keen mountain bikers the forest tracks provide wild opportunities with an excellent dedicated off-road area.

“We needed a break. We needed peaceful time. We wanted to be cozy and warm. We wanted some us time. We found it here. Will be back ASAP. Thank you, Simon and Ruth.” Bob and Wendy - Jan. 29th 2023
“What a week of wonderful weather and visiting an area we had hardly ever seen before. Good nights' sleep on a lovely comfy bed, lovely clean and well equipped cottage, pretty garden, super hot tub and garden facilities and a helpful host. We have enjoyed our stay with you. Thank you so much.” Norman and Trish - Jul. 24th 2021
“Simon and Ruth’s place was an amazing choice for my friend and I for a weekend away to relax and unwind. Set on its own in a beautiful part of the forest, we had superb privacy all weekend, and were able to fully utilise the spa facilities, which are absolutely amazing! We spent our Saturday night sipping tea in the hot tub under the stars, in the forest, and had a quick spell in the sauna... we couldn’t have asked for more! The house is kitted out with everything you may need for either a long or short stay, and as well as the pubs being a stumble away, a large shop is only a few minutes away by car and had nearly anything you would want/need. Simon greeted us on arrival, and gave us a tour of the place and some really useful tips around the house and for the spa. He was great with communication, and is a super host! Thanks again for letting us stay!” Nicola (Nicola posted this on Airbnb) - Mar. 15th 2020
