2 Danby Cottages is one of a pair of ex-forester’s dwellings set deep in the Forest of Dean.  One of the owners has MS so the cottage has been adapted as far as is feasible to meet the needs of wheelchair users.   It is a self-catering holiday destination and has three bedrooms, with two upstairs sharing a bathroom and one downstairs with an en-suite wet-room.

The cottage has a double bedroom and a twin bedded room upstairs, sharing a bathroom, and a double bedroom downstairs with a ceiling track hoist and an accessible en-suite wet room containing shower, wc and hand basin. A folding shower stool and various grab rails are fitted and there are a washing machine and ironing facilities in an alcove. The upstairs bathroom has a full size bath with shower over, a hand basin and wc.

The lounge / diner is a large, new room with a pitched ceiling and an oak floor.  The wall facing the garden consists of an extended floor-to-ceiling series of glass doors which can be folded back to give uninterrupted access to a large area of decking, and the garden beyond. The wall opposite these glass doors has an extended cupboard built in with a sliding door behind which the television and audio equipment are concealed.  The room also has a dining table & chairs, two large sofas & various easy chairs. The kitchen is fitted with a range of modern units with solid beech worktops. Equipment includes a dishwasher, a fridge, a freezer, a microwave oven, a full size electric oven and hob, and a Belfast sink.  There is also a lowered area of worktop to facilitate use from a wheelchair.

There is a small front garden with steps and a shallow ramp up to the glazed front door.  Outside the back door there is a large area of decking with a substantial outdoor table, chairs and a bench, and a ramp down to the large back garden. This is mainly grass with a number of mature trees, a garden shed and garden seats.   Barbecuing equipment is available.  There are excellent opportunities for wildlife and bird spotting, including (if you’re lucky) a greater spotted woodpecker, barn owls, buzzards ,  numerous tits and wild boar.
