The small village of Clearwell in Gloucestershire, located in the heart of England, is a peaceful retreat with a bustling community. Surrounded by the stunning Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Clearwell offers two village inns, a restaurant, and is close to attractions such as Clearwell Castle and Clearwell Caves. The area is perfect for walkers, with well-marked paths leading through breathtaking scenery in the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley, as well as opportunities for canoeing, rock climbing, mountain biking, and hiking in the Black Mountains.
The dovecote in Clearwell is a charming Grade II listed property, lovingly restored by the owners of the farm it is situated on. The ground floor features lime plastered walls, an exposed wooden frame, and contemporary furnishings, including a TV and a well-equipped kitchen with solid oak worktops and wooden shelving. Upstairs, the circular double bedroom set within the eaves is full of character and includes an en suite shower and WC. Outside, there is a courtyard garden with seating where guests can enjoy a morning coffee while listening to the church bells on a Sunday.
Clearwell is an ideal base for exploring the history-rich region, with medieval and market towns like Ross on Wye, Monmouth, Tintern, and Hay on Wye nearby. The area offers a range of outdoor activities, from canoeing and rock climbing at Symonds Yat to mountain biking in the Forest of Dean. The dovecote provides a cozy and comfortable retreat for two, with off-road parking for one car and easy access to the village amenities and surrounding natural beauty. Whether seeking relaxation or adventure, Clearwell offers a picturesque setting for a memorable getaway.
