Buckstone House Coach House nestles in an idyllic setting with the forest just outside your front door and a charming local pub a short walk away. Surrounded by the lovingly maintained gardens of Buckstone House, the Coach House is a showcase of antique furniture, exposed beams and home comforts. Without leaving the grounds you can play tennis, take a dip in the swimming pool and laze in the sun. This hidden gem has the Wye Valley and the Forest of Dean on its doorstep, waiting to be explored. A haven for walkers, cyclists and anybody looking to retreat for a bit of rest and relaxation you are immersed in beautiful scenery. History buffs will be drawn to Chepstow and Raglan Castle, hikers will love Yat Rock and its sublime views, explore magical Puzzlewood with the children, and stroll the historic streets of nearby Monmouth. Buckstone Coach House is one of our pet-free properties and therefore dogs and other pets are not permitted. The pool is open from mid-May to end of August (weather dependent), and use is shared with the owners. If the weather is cold, the pool will take longer to warm up. Please read our swimming pool FAQ for more information.

The area of the stunning Wye Valley and Forest of Dean is a gateway to relatively untouched nature. Walks into the forest, along the river or hikes uphill to Yat Rock reward you with beautiful views. It is one of the best spots to see Peregrine Falcons in the country. Find watersports, cycling routes and beautiful historic towns as you explore this often-overlooked area. Popular spots include Puzzlewood, the Clearwell Caves, Symonds Yat and the Forest of Dean Sculpture Trail which are all just a short drive away.
