A cosy barn conversion with all the modern amenities required to make your holiday comfortable and enjoyable. Situated in an acre of private grounds, accessed via a secure, gated driveway off the A48, this pretty, secluded and private property is the ideal location for some rest and relaxation. Steps and a footbridge allow guests to enjoy meandering Colne Brook which runs nearby and adjoining owners field. Just 2 miles from the Forest.

We’re Shirley and Mike and we moved to the Forest of Dean from Bristol in 2010. We love living here and sharing it with others who enjoy the countryside. If you need any assistance during your stay, this is always someone on hand to give any advice or help you may need and we will attempt to come to the Barn once during your stay to say hello. You are also welcome to join us in the fields over the bridge (our garden) for a chat if you spot us out there. Our aim is to make the Barn as welcoming as it can be as we know how important it is to take a break from the hustle and bustle of ordinary life. The barn is secluded and completely separate from our own property, so if you prefer privacy then we will not disturb you. We have many guests who return year after year, who claim the Barn as their own holiday retreat and say it feels like coming home!

The cottage driveway entance is on the A48. Colne Brook Barn is situated next to Coln Brook, which divides the quiet villages of Woolaston and Alvington in the Forest of Dean. Opposite the Barn is Swan House Tea Rooms and there are two pubs in the village of Alvington, both of which serve good food- The Globe Inn and The Blacksmiths Arms. There are another 2 pubs in Woolaston - The Netherend Inn and The Rising Sun (also great food) and just down the road on the A48 is The Ghurka, Woolaston Inn, a Nepalese Asian restaurant. There is a bus stop at the end of the driveway but we would recommend a car for getting to all the beautiful places in and surrounding the Forest of Dean.
