| Birchamp Coach House is an old coach house over 200
years old, which previously served Birchamp House, a Grade II listed
building. It has recently been sympathetically converted to provide
two well-equipped and very comfortable holiday cottages.
Each has an enclosed west facing courtyard garden, which is bathed
in sun in the afternoons.
Both cottages are centrally heated. On the ground floor is a sitting
room and a kitchen/dining room with fitted kitchen at one end and
dining area at the other. Both sitting room and kitchen have large
French windows leading into the enclosed courtyard garden.
The sitting rooms are furnished with comfy settees and have colour
television DVD and video.
The kitchens are well equipped and include oven with grill, microwave
oven, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and toaster. The
dining areas are furnished with pine farmhouse table and six chairs.
Upstairs the cottages have bathroom with loo, basin, bath and
electric shower over the bath, and three bedrooms. The rooms are
furnished throughout with solid pine furniture, and bedrooms are
equipped with wardrobe, dressing table with stool and drawer space.
All beds have duvets.
Number One
This cottage will accommodate 6 persons plus cot. It has one double
bedded room, one twin bedded room and one room with bunk beds.
Number Two
This cottage will accommodate 6 persons plus one. It contains
one double bedded and two twin bedded rooms. There is adequate space
in the larger of the twin rooms to fit a travel cot or folding bed,
all of which can be supplied on request.
Outside
The gravelled and paved court yard gardens are well stocked with
both climbers and scented tubs. On the opposite side of the entrance
drive is car parking for two vehicles per cottage (arrangements

Newland
Newland is a picturesque village in the Forest of Dean bordering
on the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It contains
a number of substantial houses. The village is built around the
magnificent parish church dating from around 1216, which is known
as the "Cathedral of the Forest". The
Ostrich Inn public house, which dates from 1694, is within 60
yards, and must be one of the most atmospheric pubs in the county.
It is a free house serving a varied menu.
The village is two miles from the River Wye, and is well located
for walking, cycling and sightseeing. There are four golf courses
within the locality.
The town of Coleford is within three miles, where there is a selection
of shops, banks and two supermarkets. Monmouth, which is approximately
six miles away, has more varied and specialist shopping.
