Brambling Cross
A cabin for couples with crackling campfires, canoeing and craft ale - all our favourite Cs, finally together in one cosy place
-
Description
Wander up the hill to a secluded spot and into your enclosed garden, where you can sit and ponder the treetops and hills popping up over the fence. Beyond the beautiful split stable door is an antique pine kitchen and a cabin bed which you can snuggle up in with the fire lit. On rainy days you'll be thankful that your hot shower is ensuite.
You could just lounge around the woodburner all day and only venture out to stock up on bottles of treacle-coloured ale at the brewery shop; but you might be tempted to hop out and try a spot of canoeing on the River Wye with our onsite provider Wye Valley Experience.
**Wye Valley Experience is based onsite specialising in canoeing and mountain bike hire alongside guided trips meaning we are able to offer our guests a special experience of canoeing the River Wye or exploring the local area on Mountain bikes.
**The on-site bar hosts a monthly wood-fired pizza night on the first Saturday of each month, it’s super popular so be sure to book well in advance!

A visit to Tintern Abbey is really amazing and once you are on the inside you will be surprised by its size. It is a wonderfully majestic site.
Tintern is also a lovely village to walk around with unusual and fascinating little shops! Tori's favourite is Stella Books as they have over 30,000 rare or out of print books - you will be bound to find a memorable story there!
Clearwell Caves - 4500 Years of mining history in an amazing cave system.
Puzzlewood - magical woodland in the Forest of Dean.
Dean Steam Railway - Dean Forest railway.
A day out at Go Ape! Forest of Dean, 11 miles away, is always recommended for Tarzan swings and epic zip wires.
Abbey Mill, Tintern – award willing riverside shopping & dining.

~Booked as I had been in the locality earlier in the year. We stayed for two nights and unfortunately it rained every day, but we came prepared with walking boots and waterproof coats (essential) The hosts Ed and Tori were very friendly and we felt relaxed and happy immediately. Mark gave us a tour of the brewery, Tori gave us pasta making lessons and Ed plied us with of his beer and cider. I would definitely recommend this place if you want a basic no frills break without to, wifi or constant phone calls.
