The Old Granary
The Old Granary is my place just outside Newent. It used to be an actual granary, so it's a big, solid sort of building. It's in a field, on its own, so it's quiet. You get a decent view of the countryside.
It sleeps eight. Four bedrooms, two bathrooms. It's a 3 Star place, so it's comfortable and clean. We've kept it simple.
There's a shared swimming pool and tennis court on the estate you can use. They're good. The garden's fully enclosed, which is handy if you've got kids. There's a patio with a barbecue and a summerhouse thing with a sink and fridge next to the pool. Inside, there's a wood burner for cooler evenings.
You can walk along the brook into Newent. That's about a mile. It's a proper old market town. There's a couple of pubs, a few shops, a butchers, that sort of thing. Newent Lake is nice for a stroll.
If you want to go further, the Forest of Dean is about a 20 minute drive. Good for cycling and walking. Gloucester is ten miles east. The cathedral is worth seeing, and the docks are interesting. Cheltenham is about half an hour away for the races or shopping.
For a day out, the Three Choirs Vineyard does tours and tastings. The Wye Valley and places like Symonds Yat are within half an hour. There are a lot of National Trust properties around if that's your thing, like Hidcote or Bibury Court.
Facilities: everything's included. Washing machine, dishwasher, TV, bedding and towels. There's a cot and highchair if you need them. Parking for a couple of cars right outside. No pets, sorry.
