Owls Nest Hideout
Owl’s Nest is a uniquely romantic retreat for two in the trees in the heart of the Wye Valley in Gloucestershire.
The Cottage Itself
Lucy the owner has lovingly designed a wonderfully relaxed and luxury eco holiday retreat with treehouse vibes and a wood fired Scandinavian hot tub. It’s all about the surrounding nature and wildlife and great guest experiences at this lovely cottage.
It is a fabulously roomy converted barn for two with a stunning open plan sitting room area with transposed beams and a wood burner for colder evenings. Upstairs is a romantic bedroom in the eaves with views across the valley. This is a place to relax and unwind and take in the surrounding nature.
Outside
There are several private garden areas, including a sunny decked terrace with a BBQ and fire pit and eco wood-fired hot tub (available at a separate charge directly to owner).
The Local Area
The Wye Valley in Gloucestershire is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with a rich landscape, many bustling market towns and castles rich in history. There are many walking routes from the Cottage with Tintern Abbey a walk away and local village Brockweir close by.
Wildlife
It’s a wildlife haven at Owls Nest with a huge variety of birds and visiting deer and other wildlife. Lucy also has her own rescue sheep as the permanent lawn mowers around the Cottage.
Sustainability
Sustainability is a priority for the owners at Owl’s Nest, with an air source heat pump supplying all underfloor heating and hot water. All electricity comes from renewable resources. Wood used is from the owners’ renewable sources, Pastures are left fallow to encourage native flora and fauna with native Orchids in the flower patches. A sustainability plan is in place.
