STAY WITH US
An idyllic holiday cottage just for two (and the dogs!) hidden away in the Forest of Dean & Wye Valley, offering a luxurious self-catering experience.
Set to a backdrop of ancient woodland, the grounds extend to a wildflower meadow and walled garden for you to enjoy; so you can make the most of the panoramic countryside view over rolling fields to the River Severn and the Cotswold Hills beyond.
The Lavendrye Barn sits as the end of a charming tree canopied country lane in the grounds of an historic Tudor Manor house You'll likely be greeted by buzzards soaring overhead; neighbouring sheep peering through the fences; and deer grazing on the lawn in the morning mist. An opportunity to relax and give in to a slower pace of life. The Lavendrye Barn is full of character and charm. Great in the summer and equally welcoming in winter, benefiting from the warmth of a roaring log fire on chilly nights and a wood fired hot tub where you can soak under the stars and take in the outstanding view.
"If you want a serene and beautiful place to stay, this is it. Breath-taking views across the valley and moments away from so many gloriously wild and magical places to explore. "
Julia - Bristol, UK.
The exact age of the barn is not known but most of the main house here at Hayes, and buildings within the grounds date back to the 16th Century, with the remains of a much older Medieval dwelling still visible within the walls. The barn sits within the parterre garden in front of the historic timber framed manor house, with characterful, sloping, timber framed porch. A showcase of classic Tudor architecture.
Over the centuries, Hayes has been home to many notable families, each leaving their mark on its rich history. The house has witnessed the passage of time, standing resilient through England's shifting historical landscape.
