Old Nibley Farmhouse - B&B Accommodation in Blakeney, Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire

Accommodation at Old Nibley Farmhouse

Welcome to Old Nibley Farmhouse. You are our houseguest – a personal and far more intimate experience than staying at a hotel. During your stay you’ll probably encounter one, or all, of our 3 cats. Jasper’s the largest, friendliest and likes attention!

Parts of Old Nibley Farmhouse date back some 300 years. It was once a working farm with over 100 acres - today there is ¾ of an acre of garden to relax in. It became a Grade II listed building in 1994, limiting the amount of work that could be carried out, so we have worked with the existing space and allotted rooms to fit in with the heritage of the house. We now have a traditional farmhouse to which we are proud to welcome you.

During the colder months (and rainy days) we serve morning coffee/ afternoon tea in the spacious sitting room with its exposed beams and large open fireplace – cosy and intimate. In the warmer spring and summer seasons we invite you to use the courtyard and back garden to take tea and cakes at your leisure. In our dining room we serve a breakfast that will give you an excellent start to the day……take your time sampling home prepared seasonal fruits, cereals and preserves.

There is a television in the comfortable living room for you to watch, but if you prefer you can have a tv in your room, just make the request when you book.
