The Anchor in Lydbrook

The Anchor, a large Forest of Dean Holiday Cottage, once served the Lydbrook area as a country pub. This dog-friendly home has recently been thoughtfully converted to offer self-catering accommodation for large groups or multi-family holidays in the Wye Valley. The Anchor sleeps up to 22 guests in 8 bedrooms (6 en-suite) in a house designed to accommodate and entertain large groups for holidays, celebrations, reunions and family gatherings amidst some of the UK's picturesque and peaceful countryside.

For 'stay at home days', relax in the hot tub, enjoy the large games room with table tennis and pool table, picnic and BBQ in the woodland garden or take a riverside/forest walk. It's just a short stroll to The Forge Hammer, a nearby pub or down to the banks of the River Wye. A ten-minute walk through the woods along the dismantled Forest of Dean railway track bed gives you the choice of an attractive country pub, an organic or an Indian restaurant, while in the village, the Wye Fry fish and chip shop and a village shop offers further culinary fulfilment and supplies.

Living room accommodation comprises:

  • Large kitchen with LPG gas cooker, electric oven, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, microwave and lots of utensils, cutlery and crockery to ensure everyone eats together. A second utility room contains a 2nd dishwasher, a washing machine, and a separate tumble dryer.

  • An atmospheric dining room with a vaulted ceiling and a table that easily seats 20, together with a bar at one end (bring your own stock!)

  • Large Sitting Room with wood burner, satellite TV (Full Sky Sports Film & TV options), DVD player and music system

  • A snug lounge with its own wood burner, TV and DVD player. The Snug also doubles as a ground-floor bedroom having a double sofa bed and an adjacent bathroom suitable for wheelchair users with a WC, bath and shower

Bedroom accommodation comprises:

* 3 double bedrooms all with en-suite bathrooms with showers

Great House

Great House - clean, fresh, well looked after. We love the walk to the river and to the handy store up the hill. The House gave a space and space and togetherness as we chose. Awesome place.

Mum's 50th

We stayed here for a week for my mum's 50th and it was absolutely amazing! We had a big age range and it suited everyone, my 1 year old loved it! Extremely clean House and the facilities available were more than you could want! Pool table, pin ping, hot tub and DVDs etc if you want a quiet evening, among many more. All of our party would stay here again! It's a remote location but close to loads of different towns so great variety! Loved it!
