Lilac Cottage is an archetypal two bedroom Forest of Dean stone cottage. Immediately behind the cottage is access to the forest and cycling track. Built around 1890 to house the family of a forestry worker, it now provides modern day luxury for that perfect get away holiday. The Forest of Dean occupies some 35 square miles of protected forest, Lilac Cottage sits in a small hamlet in the centre. Surrounded by stunning woodland it is walking distance to the village of Parkend, the RSPB centre at Nagshead. There are two pubs in the village serving food, both child and dog friendly. The cottage is designed to provide a relaxed high quality home from home feel. The log burner, decoration, lighting and comfy furniture coupled with the cosy bedrooms all combine to provide the perfect environment for a restful break. If activity is more the focus, then there is for example, extensive walking; cycling, including easy through to extreme runs; canoeing on the Wye or the more gentle pursuits of bird watching at any of the three local RSPB sites; a visit to the steam railway; and much more. . . The historic town of Monmouth, some 25 mins away, offers a great day out with interesting museums, buildings and churches balanced with excellent restaurants and shopping
