About The Buckstone House Coach House
The Forest of Dean national park is one of England’s best kept secrets. Nestled between the River Wye and the River Severn, the Forest of Dean provides a magical setting for keen walkers, cyclists and wildlife watchers and we welcome guests to our country cottage nearby.
The Buckstone House is home to Doug and Nikki Smith and is set within three acres of gardens and grounds in the village of Staunton, just 3 miles from the Forest of Dean and near Monmouth in the beautiful Wye Valley. The village of Staunton is located just on the edge of the Welsh Borders. Buckstone House Coach House which was converted for self catering accommodation in 2005 also enjoys this wonderful location and overlooks the lovely garden.
