Converted stables and hayloft in former historic farmyard | Haus in Saint Briavels

Church Farm is situated on a quiet lane and is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the tranquillity of this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
You will have exclusive use of our spacious two bedroom Stables cottage and our Hayloft studio overlooking an historic former farmyard and 16th century farmhouse. The two properties are adjacent and have been sympathetically renovated to provide characterful and comfortable accommodation.
The properties both have separate accesses and are situated on either side of the large barn. This provides a sheltered corridor between the two, as well as being a games room with indoor table tennis and table football, to enjoy on those (rare) occasions when the weather is too inclement to go exploring.
The Stables cottage accommodation consists of a well equipped open plan kitchen- dining room with double aspect windows and original oak beams. There is a downstairs cloakroom with sink and WC. The large lounge is through a glazed door and is comfortably furnished and has attractive exposed beams and a glazed wall onto the shared courtyard. An oak staircase leads upstairs where there is a large bedroom with king-sized bed and a cosy twin room. The bathroom has a full size bath with shower over. There is a separate WC.
The Hayloft is a studio with a full size double bed, a comfortable seating area, a small dining corner, a good sized kitchen wall and an en-suite with toilet, basin and shower. There is a full size oven, a domino (two ring) hob, microwave, under-counter fridge with freezer compartment and a wall mounted smart TV. The studio was created from the original hayloft using traditional materials as much as possible. The walls are of stone, insulated with fibreboard and sheepswool, the floor is oak, and the walls and ceiling are of lime plaster. There is a stable door that opens out onto a small south facing balcony at the top of the stone steps.
The dining room and sitting room in The Stables space can easily accommodate six people, so when you are renting both properties, you will use The Stables as your main living space, and The Hayloft as an extra en-suite bedroom. However, The Hayloft can also work as an independent living space if you prefer.
Heating and hot water is provided from our biomass boiler, our electricity is green, the toiletries are ethical and natural, and we use ecological cleaning products as much as possible. We do our best to tread lightly on the planet, but also to make sure your stay is safe, clean and comfortable.
Guests are welcome to sit in the shared sunny courtyard and to access the extensive wooded gardens for exploring and dog walking. Off road parking for 1 car is available immediately adjacent to the cottage, and there is space for another 2 cars in an adjacent field. There is ample parking on the quiet road immediately outside.
Guests have use of outdoor seating and a table in the shared courtyard and access to the shared gardens. The gardens are enclosed but please be aware that a determined dog could find a way out!
Dogs are welcome to stay in the Stables only by prior request and we ask that you do not allow them upstairs and that you use the throws provided if they get on the sofas. We also ask that dogs don't go into The Hayloft.
We live in the house on the opposite side of the courtyard. We aim to greet you on arrival and are around should you need us, but otherwise we will leave you to yourselves.
Church Farm is perched above the Wye Valley on the edge of the historic village of St Briavels in the Forest of Dean. Our own property has five acres of glades and woods for you to explore and we are surrounded by farmland and forests with dozens of footpaths.
We are within a two minute walk of The George pub which has good food and often hosts live music, and of the tiny village shop, The Pantry, which sells a large range of staples and local produce. The village also boasts a large recreation ground with well maintained playground (including zip wire!), outdoor gym, tennis court, table tennis and a cricket pitch.
St Briavels is at the centre of excellent walking country. There is a public footpath running through the lower part of the garden, which leads to a myriad of circular walks into the Wye Valley and the Severn Vale beyond through woods and fields. Offa's Dyke Path, the Wye Valley Walk, Gloucestershire Way and Wysis Way are all within walking distance from the door. We offer Nordic walking tuition and guided walks through the local countryside, many of them from our front door. It is a short drive to the magnificent Forest of Dean and there are many family attractions nearby such as Puzzlewood, Clearwell Caves, Perrygrove Railway and Tintern Abbey. There are also ample opportunities for outdoor activities like kayaking, canoeing and paddle-boarding on the River Wye, off-road cycling in the Forest and tree climbing at Go-Ape.
Most visitors come by car, as public transport is limited, with only occasional buses to and from Gloucester and Chepstow. Lydney train station is six miles away. The area is popular with cyclists, but be aware that we are 200m uphill from the river Wye.
