Newent is a very attractive, unspoilt, thriving market town with lots to offer for self-catering holidays. A plethora of half timbered black and white buildings dating back to the 13th Century distinguish the town. Complementing all this is the picturesque Newent Lake which was originally part of the Newent Court Estate.

With a new fountain and restocked with fish the park and lake benefit both townsfolk and visitors alike. What's more, the attractive market town of Newent offers visitors shops, pubs and restaurants and as well as being very scenic, is also located close to some of England's most spectacular countryside including the Forest of Dean, the Malvern Hills, the Cotswold Hills and the Wye Valley.
