Welcome to the Beehive! A recently refurbished one bedroom self contained annex in the heart of the Forest of Dean. The perfect base to relax after exploring the forest, or sitting with a drink on the patio, listening to the steam train in the distance. There is so much to do in the forest and the best part is that most of it is within walking or cycling distance from The Beehive! You are welcome to bring or hire bikes as we happily supply a lock and chains to keep them securely locked to our metal fence. We do have a small super-friendly dog called Kipper who may occasionally be out the front and three ducks in our garden at the back, Clover, Daisy and Snowdrop.

I'm Alice. I live in the Forest of Dean with my Husband, children and dog. We moved here in 2021 and absolutely love it!

My husband and I only moved to the area in early 2021, we were drawn to the relaxed atmosphere, beautiful scenery and having so much to do on our doorstep, a small sample of this is below. We are very lucky in the village to have a great local pub, which serves local food and drink. Within a short walk or cycle to Parkend, we have two other great pubs, the Fountain and the Woodman, which we both highly recommend. A local post office also serves breakfast and lunch. A five minute drive away is Lydney, our local town which offers a multitude of food options, local shops and supermarkets along with multiple takeaways that will deliver to The Beehive. Within walking distance is a great cycle hire company and café (Dean Forest Cycles). It's a beautiful walk through the forest to collect them or a short drive. Bikes and motorbikes can be securely stored at the Beehive, with two high rated chains and a metal fence to attach them too. We have the local station to the Dean Forest heritage railway behind the local pub. If you are feeling more adventurous Go Ape and Segway hire are available at Mallard's Pike, just a short drive.
