Sleeps 2

The Old Goat House nestles on the slopes of the Wye Valley, approached via a ¼ mile drive partly along the line of an ancient dyke from where there are wonderful views northwards across the Wye Valley. Set in 5 acres, Rosemesne, the main house, is surrounded by paddocks (grazed by our four sheep, geese, ducks and hens) and woodlands, where walks can lead downhill to the river at Bigsweir a mile away or uphill through the Hudnalls woods towards The Offa's Dyke Path just ½ a mile away.

Badgers can be watched at dusk in these ancient woods, bats can be seen in the garden, tawny owls call from our woods, and buzzards can usually be seen and heard overhead. The Lower Meend itself is a collection of about 20 scattered dwellings below the village of St Briavels on the edge of The Forest of Dean. with two pubs providing food, an art gallery, a Norman church (often hosting concerts) and the 13th century castle.

The Old Goat House is a converted stone stable close to the main house which has its own stone-walled small garden (with seating area) facing away from the main house towards the orchard where the hens roam. The main room which includes the sleeping area, is spacious and light and includes an additional sofa bed. There is wheelchair access.
