Peter's Nest is a favourite cottage for honeymooners and couples--especially for walkers, solitary romantics and those with dogs!
This Cotswold stone cottage tucked away in the woods is the perfect 'love nest' for two, Virgilian in bucolic peace and sweet sylvan scenery.
In a clearing below Peter's Nest Wood known mysteriously as 'Hell's Throat', hard by a woodland spring, is this little self-contained cottage, by Woodwells farmstead, marked on an 1847 map.
Downstairs we enter through the kitchen, which leads into the living room with comfortable dining and sitting areas, and a cosy wood-burning stove. The bathroom, with bath and overbath shower, is adjacent. The cottage is heated by storage heaters.
Upstairs is the small double attic bedroom (with very low, sloping ceilings under the eaves) with queen-sized bed, enjoying views to the west down the Owlpen valley. Hanging space for clothes is provided under the eaves, and a small dressing table.
Peters Nest is situated in the east of the valley in the heart of the woods, making it a perfect location for walkers looking to explore the valley, and is adjacent to Woodwells cottage.
There is ample parking and a small garden adjoining the garden of Woodwells. There is also a large wilderness woodland dell to the east of the cottage.
A small wrought iron table provides the opportunity to enjoy a sunset aperitif or breakfast coffee. Or watch the wild life and sociable pheasants.
