Cosy Living Room in Your Wye Valley Holiday Cottage

The living room at Birch Cottage is designed to be a warm, welcoming space for every season. Whether you’re escaping the winter chill or enjoying a summer getaway, this cosy space provides the perfect spot to relax and unwind.

A cosy living room

The wood-burning stove is ideal for chilly evenings, keeping the room snug and inviting. Two large sofas provide ample space to stretch out, watch a film on the TV, or curl up with a favourite book. For those who need to balance a bit of work while away, a dedicated desk space ensures you can catch up on emails without missing the holiday vibes.

Heating and hot water are managed with eco-friendly systems. A wood-burning boiler heats the cottage, with firewood provided free of charge. In addition, two large solar thermal panels supply hot water sustainably. On colder days, lighting the wood burner keeps the cottage warm and welcoming, while electric heaters are available as a backup.

This combination of comfort and practicality means that the living room is not only a place to relax but also a reflection of the sustainable, thoughtful approach that defines your stay at Birch Cottage.

In the evenings, the flickering flames from the wood burner add a cosy, homely touch, making it the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring the Wye Valley countryside, nearby historic sites, or scenic footpaths like Offa’s Dyke.

Whether you’re visiting for a romantic getaway, a family holiday, or a group retreat, the living room at Birch Cottage offers a space that’s welcoming, practical, and full of charm. It’s a space to relax, recharge, and enjoy everything the cottage and surrounding countryside have to offer.
