CAROLINE ANDERSON invites you to come and stay in her family home, between Mitcheldean and Ross-on-Wye, where you will be offered a very warm welcome. She moved from the Royal Forest of Dean where she and her husband created the highly acclaimed Gunn Mill House, picked by the editor of 'Which' as one of Britain's top 20.
Lea House offers the same high standards in three well-appointed bedrooms. The décor is eclectic with pieces gathered from far and wide during her previous working life in the film industry. There are mementoes of her travels - from working in places as far-flung as Australia and India, America and Thailand.
All our rooms have beverage trays with a selection of tea, herb teas and coffee, and a biscuit jar. We provide fresh milk. There are hot water bottles, a good range of bathroom toiletries, an alarm clock and a hairdryer in each room. Also available on request are a trouser press, an iron & board, shoe-cleaning kit, use of the telephone and a laundry service.
Breakfast is normally between 7.30am and 9.00am. Choose from a wide selection of cereals, fruit and yoghurt, fresh fruit juice, locally made sausages and a full English breakfast. The breads are homemade as are the jams and marmalade. Vegetarian and other special dietary needs are happily catered for, with prior notice please.
You may wish to dine in, and we can offer anything from a light snack to a 3-course meal. All our food is prepared at home from mainly local produce. There is a pub in the village and several others only a short drive away serving excellent pub meals. We also have one or two very good restaurants within an easy drive, which we can recommend.
Set in the small village of Lea, 4 miles from the historic market town of Ross-on-Wye and a short drive from the Cathedral cities of Gloucester and Hereford, Lea House is ideally situated for enjoying many local beauty spots. It is within sight of the Royal Forest of Dean and adjacent to the spectacular Wye Valley, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
It is possible to enjoy many sporting activities including mountain biking on dedicated bike trails, abseiling, canoeing, 4x4 off-roading, rambling, or just strolling about with your dog enjoying the magnificent scenery that characterises the area. The valleys of the River Severn and the River Wye dominate the whole area and provide some breathtaking sights.
Or alternatively you could play with my delightful kittens Pickle and Lilly.
