FIND YOUR WAY HERE
Off the beaten track.
Easy to feel at home.
Hawthorne Cottage is at Clements End, near Coleford in Gloucestershire. Here’s how to reach us with a caravan or motorhome.
BEFORE YOU SET OFF
Two places not to go.
Your sat nav might be good, but please don’t route through either of these when towing:
1. Bream
A small village close to us where the road gets very narrow and you don’t want to meet anyone on a particular corner.
2. Symonds Yat (“The Rocks”), Monmouth side
You will not get a caravan or motorhome up it as it’s very narrow and steep. It does warn you, but when you’re following a sat nav it’s easy to miss the signs.
