The Old Rectory, Woolaston, Lydney, Gloucestershire

The Old Rectory is an impressive Grade II listed Georgian house sleeping 12, tucked away in a peaceful and scenic setting overlooking the River Severn and hills of Gloucestershire.

Spacious rooms, interior-designed opulence and well established gardens and grounds extending to 28 acres make this an idyllic country retreat, for getaways with family and friends, hen and stag weekends and for special occasions such as weddings and house parties. The privacy and exclusive hire of the venue is also ideal for corporate getaways and residential training courses.

The local area has a huge amount to offer visitors. The beautiful Wye Valley offers canoeing and climbing, with easy access to the more rugged terrain of Wales and the Brecon Beacons. The Forest of Dean has fantastic cycling and walking too as well as several outdoor activity centres. Music weekends and country shows abound, and there are a great variety of country pubs and top class restaurants offering excellent food.

For those looking to explore local cultural centres, Bristol and Bath are an easy day trip, and Cheltenham is also well worth a visit.

The house is easily accessed by road, with the M4 and M5 reasonably close - a great venue for family and friends coming together from different parts of the country.
