The Nuthatch Retreat - Self-catering house in Gloucestershire
Valley View
Bradley Hill, Blakeney, GL15 4AW, Gloucestershire
England,
Reino Unido
Just the sort of place to inspire you to make some art or write that book; or simply unwind. A cleverly designed one-storey eco-extension to the owners’ home, which has lovely valley views. You have your own entrance and garden and you step into a calming Scandic-chic space with earthy tones, leafy plants and mid-century and vintage finds.
You'll spill onto the terrace on sunny days, snooze in the dappled shade then gather around the fire pit in the lower garden as day melts into evening. Rainy days call for the full cinema experience with 4K digital projector and proper surround-sound or you can help yourself to a book and settle on the window seat.
You're on the edge of an ancient forest for miles of walks and it’s easy to pick up some delicious local produce then return to cook: foodies will find everything and more in the nifty kitchen. Later you'll retreat to your tranquil bedroom and sleep soundly.

Local points of interest from Nemia & Rod Maclachlan:
Puntos de interés sobre la región de
Nemia & Rod Maclachlan:
- A grade II listed sacred spring and cold water plunge pool sits amid the ancient woodland and open to all. Just 15mins drive through scenic forestry lanes. Particularly good if you're into cold water immersion practices or just fun to have a dip!
- A myriad of woodland walks on the doorstep or just a short drive away, some deep in ancient indigenous woodland, some through scented pine plantation and others along higher ridges with stunning views. You're spoilt for choice for walks come rain or shine.
- Try stand-up paddle (SUP) boarding on local lakes such as Mallards Pike or canoe down the river Wye. Great fun with friends or family. Canoe at Symonds Yat and you can also enjoy stunning views at this area of outstanding natural beauty.
- Many a maker and artist lives in the area so frequent exhibitions or open studios take place throughout the year. Workshops and experiences can often be found. Or enjoy the sculpture trail at Beechenhurst with brand new artworks recently commissioned.
- Puzzlewood is just a short drive where you'll find the magical woodland scowles used in many a film such as Merlin, Star Wars and His Dark Materials. Nearby, Clearwell Caves offers you a journey underground to discover the mining history of the area.
- Hire a bike at the Cannop Cycle Centre or bring your own to enjoy the woodland trails in the area. Easy rides are available for family outings, or go further on an e-bike. Something more exciting awaits for the more intrepid and experienced mountain biker.
