The nearby Forest of Dean is a great family day out with attractions including Go Ape, Puzzlewood and Clearwell Caves. The city of Gloucester is famous for its  Norman cathedral which has featured in the Harry Potter films and Beatrix Potter stories. Some pretty, Cotswold villages are close by, as is the Herefordshire Black and White Trail. The Malvern Hills, great for walking with your dogs ,is slightly further afield. The property is ideally located with a local pub serving food within walking distance. Conveniently situated on the border of three counties, with many attractions nearby, including May Hill Bewery, Harts Barn Craft Centre and a cookery school, this property is great for a group holiday.

Entering the property on the ground floor, you will find yourself in the entrance hallway with a handy separate WC. From here, you will find the spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner complete with stylish dining table seating up to 10 guests. Why not relax in the lounge area on one of the comfy sofas where you can cosy up and watch the Smart TV  or play a game of table football on the vintage table? The kitchen area is well equipped with a double electric Range oven and hob, microwave, American-style fridge/freezer, wine fridge, dishwasher and washing machine. Heading up to the first-floor landing you will find the five stylish bedrooms. First on your right is an impressive super-king-size with en-suite bathroom fitted with a bath, separate double shower cubicle and WC and a feature floor-to-ceiling window. Continuing further, you will find two double bedrooms, 1 with a TV as well as a twin room. At the far end of the landing, is the master bedroom with super-king-size bed and en-suite bathroom, with a bath, separate double shower and WC. The real feature of this room is the private balcony accessed through the glass doors. The real wow factor here is a fully plumbed bathtub which is perfectly positioned to take in the countryside views. There is also a further shower room with double sink and WC on this floor.

The exterior of the property is stunning, with two, large, covered terrace areas and a great gravelled area adorned with olive trees overlooking beautiful farmland. The area has garden furniture, a hot tub, sauna, fire pit and charcoal BBQ, making it a superb place to relax in the great outdoors and dine alfresco. There is also ample parking available.

The Rusty Barn gave us a wonderful renunion family holiday. Adults and children loved it (3,5 and 11 year olds). The football table and Hot tub were a great hit. The table tennis table was usable but the equipment needs updating. The kitchen was spacious and well equipped for 9 - 10. There is ample space both in the living accommodation and within Read morethe plot for everyone including the dog (secure fencing and grass area). Noisy neighbours (not respecting signs) dealt with by the owners. Hide

What a wonderful quirky place to stay. The lights in their various forms are amazing especially the chassis hanging in the outside area ! Bedrooms are a good size and well equipped. Huge kitchen with seating for ten. So many things to do - watch the sheep watching you (the dog), the hot tub and sauna and table football (the younger generation) and Read morerelax watching all of the above being busy:(older generation!). There is plenty to do within easy driving distance - castles, trains, river, city. Hide
