A warm welcome awaits you atThe Kites

Welcome to Autumn at the Kites! Come and cosy up from the comfort of the lodge, which can sleep up to three adults and one small child (cot bed can be provided) Located down an accessible unmade track, nestled in the garden of our house and high above the Wye Valley, The Kites offers total peace and tranquillity, that includes an expansive 40 mile view towards the Black Mountains with the Forest of Dean on your doorstep! The space We offer comfortable and practical accommodation on a single storey. The lodge is extremely well insulated (better than our cottage!) and stays nice and cosy, with the central heating, during the colder months. We have a substantial well equipped kitchen with range cooker, Microwave, coffee maker (Tassimo), dishwasher, fridge and freezer. There is teabags and coffee to get you started after your journey and we always leave some home-made baked treats. When in season I will also put a jug of home grown flowers in the kitchen. There is an ensuite bathroom to the main bedroom, containing a claw foot bath and separate shower. The main bedroom has a king size, four poster bed, with electric blanket, as well as a large wardrobe/chest of drawers. The second bedroom has a single bed with a separate WC next door. From the lounge there is a private decking area, with a wisteria clad pergola, perfect for sundowners (west facing) and a small lawn area. Please note that the paddock is not accessible to guests. PLEASE NOTE- can sleep three adults comfortably plus a small child in a cot bed (which can be provided) Please note that bedding for the cot bed Is not provided and must be bought by the guests. Guest access We have designated guest parking with a short, level path to the lodge where guests have their own private, enclosed garden and decking area to enjoy the views. There are no steps in accessing the lodge. Other things to note We recommend that you stock up on supplies before you arrive or book a slot for a supermarket delivery to be delivered on your arrival. The nearest shop is not too far away, stocking basic amenities, but we are quite rural. We provide Bath towels for each guest and a hand towel for each sink. We also provide toilet rolls. We have oil, condiments and a selection of herbs in the kitchen. We do not have an EV charging point and advise EV guests to use charging points in Coleford or Ross On Wye. If you an emergency charge we will charge the rate we pay for our electricity based on the full capacity of your battery. Please note we do not have a BBQ as the lodge and decking are made from wood, making it a fire risk with hot ashes. Please note there is no access to the paddock behind the lodge but there is a decking and small lawn area in front of the lodge, specifically designated for the guests.
