Bowkett Cottage is a 19th century 3 bedroom traditional miners cottage situated in the old hamlet of St Johns Square. The cottage is just two doors down from the Church of St Johns and is in walking distance of the woods. It has a corner shop nearby and the town of Cinderford within a 20 minute walk.
Pets
We are a dog friendly cottage and we welcome up to 2 well behaved dogs. We provide stair gates to stop them from venturing up the stairs! We also provide dog bowls in case you forget to bring yours. All the floors are slate so you don’t need to worry about making any carpets dirty. Outside on the patio is a hose in case you need to wash any mud off their paws before they come in the house!
Children
We are a child friendly cottage. We provide a cot, a high chair and stair gates at the top and the bottom of the stairs. All the floors are either slate or wood but we do have a rug in the living room should you need a softer floor to lay a baby play mat on.
Bedrooms
We have 2 double bedrooms of a similar size, and a third bedroom with 2 single beds. The single beds are a standard single bed size, large enough for adults to use. We provide throws in case you need extra warmth. We also provide a large bath sheet for each guest and plenty of hand towels.
Heating
The cottage has a gas combi boiler and heating can be boosted in the living room via a wall mounted control panel.
Parking
There is parking for up to 3 vehicles on the driveway; you will still be able to close the gate, which is essential as we have wild boar in the area that just love to churn up lawns! Please do not drive onto the patio as the slabs may break under the weight of a vehicle.
Garden
We have a lovely garden, which has been carefully planted to give interest all the year round. The patio is completely private from next door and the lawn is partially private now that we have added trellis.
Electric vehicle charging
We have an EV charging point mounted on the wall outside cottage so that you can charge your car on the driveway. We take a £20 deposit for the week and then settle the difference at the end of the week depending on what you have spent.

Bowkett cottage has three stained glass windows, all made by myself, Jo Snowdon, cottage owner.
