Lydney Cottage | Bertha - sleeps 2 guests in 1 bedroom

1 Bedroom Cottage in Lydney, Forest of Dean

The Forest of Dean is a much-loved destination and Bertha is a wonderfully romantic bolthole retreat. Set alongside a neighbouring shepherd's hut you are surrounded by woodland with a lake at the foot of the hill and walking routes from the door. This is a place of peace and tranquillity, and you can't help but relax from the moment you arrive.
Wooden steps lead up to the deck and from here there is nothing to see before you but trees. Watch the sunsets, gaze at the stars, and spot the local wildlife. Inside the hut is full of character with a raised king-size bed, kitchenette, dining area, and a wood burner in the corner. The furnishing makes clever use of the space with a table and benches stowed beneath the bed. Pulling these up you can enjoy meals together and it creates additional under-bed storage space for luggage. The kitchenette has everything you need for preparing meals with a fridge with a freezer compartment, oven, and two-ring hob. As evening falls, light the wood burner and create a warming, romantic atmosphere to spend cosy nights together.
The beautiful setting of this shepherd's hut is its calling card, and you are sure to fall in love with this part of the country. You can choose to explore the local surroundings or travel further afield into the Wye Valley with its many picturesque villages, viewpoints and landmarks. For adventurers, there are water sports to try, as well as cycling and walking in the Forest of Dean.
Ground Floor
Sleeping Area:
Set on a raised wooden base, the king-size bed will ensure an undisturbed night's sleep. The skylight above gives a spectacular view of the starlit night sky, or you can open the blind and bathe in sunlight in the mornings. Surrounded by wood with beams above, this hut really brings the essence of the forest inside.
Living/Dining/Kitchen Area:
Cleverly stored at the end of the bed is a hidden table and benches, where you can sit together and discuss plans over breakfast prepared in the kitchenette. Despite its small size, you have an oven and two-ring hob, a fridge with a freezer compartment and the expected cooking utensils. The compact wood burner is a lovely addition for the evenings and adds an atmospheric crackle as it warms the room.
Bathroom:
At the end of the shepherd's hut behind a wooden sliding door is the unique shower room. Here there is a traditional WC, rainfall shower and an eye-catching sink with a unique natural shape atop a wooden unit.
Outside
The raised decking to the front leads you out into the forest where you can explore walks and head down to the lake. There is also a fire pit/barbecue. A gravelled path takes you out to the parking area with space for one car where your journeys to the surrounding countryside will begin. You are in the perfect location to discover Lydney up to Ross-on-Wye and beyond.

Summary: Nice a secluded , not as quiet as anticipated as people staying in the house nearby were very noisy . Couldn’t turn heating down so at night was really hot with windows and door open . I would stay again and recommend to others .

Summary: It was a brilliant stay- exactly what I was craving to have. The location is brilliant (Chepstow only 15 mins away for dinner etc if wanted) and lovely walks nearby. It was a lovely hut to the highest standard, very clean and everything you needed was there. Can’t wait to come back.

Summary: Me and my partner had a lovely weekend break at Bertha. Such an amazing location, surrounded by the countryside. The stars are incredible here, which we gazed at while roasting marshmallows by the fire pit. They provided great recommendations if you are unfamiliar with the area, from great walks in puzzle wood to a delicious meal in the Saracens Head Inn. I would highly recommend staying here and would love to return. The cabin is perfect, with everything you need and a lovely comfy bed. A great escape to the countryside!

Summary: Absolutely amazing shepherds hut. We loved our stay in Bertha. There is nothing negative to say. We had the most amazing chilled week, so peaceful, with just the wildlife keeping us company. The set up of the hut itself is great and our dog loved chilling on the veranda watching the world go by (well the wildlife) or chilling inside with the door open, but all safe and sound with the gate on the veranda. Loved it so much we will definitely be staying in Bertha again soon.

Summary: Fantastic quiet relaxing week has been had. Shepherds hut was clean, tidy and had everything required for a comfortable week in the Forest of Dean. The location is excellent and allowed easy access to the Forest of Dean and Gloucestershire.

Summary: We had a perfect stay in Bertha. The accomodation was well equipped with a kitchen stacked with utensils, board games onboard and a good shower too. We enjoyed some great meals on the veranda and even saw a barn owl catch their dinner. Lovely walk through the woods to Bream.

Summary: We absolutely loved our stay at Bertha Shepherds Hut. This was our second stay in the last 5 months and I'm sure we will visit again soon. It's the best place to be if you want peace and quiet and the views are incredible. The Hut had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. The outside space was generous so seemed super private and was great for our dog. I don't think he's ever been so calm. The owners were really kind in allowing us to rebook at short notice due to a broken leg. Can't wait to go back.

Summary: We stayed at Bertha Shepherd’s Hut for the weekend, and everything about it was amazing. The actual hut was even better than the pictures (which already looked super cute and cosy). There was everything you needed to cook, even bakeware. The bathroom was so nicely built and modern. Even just the torchlight they had was appreciated as we did explore the forest when it was dark. The view and the greenery from the hut was really pretty, and there was a lake at the bottom of the hill when you walk into the forest. I loved it and would definitely recommend to anyone who wants a nice stay away in a peaceful, green and fresh environment! Totally worth the money.
