Ruska

Sitting in the Gloucestershire countryside, this lakeside retreat for two offers a peaceful and romantic getaway. This gorgeous cabin has been lovingly handcrafted with luxury in mind. From the alfresco bathtub to the warming wood burner, Ruska is truly a place where you can relax and unwind together in nature.

Settled in a meadow with sweeping vistas of flowing countryside, Ruska has been crafted to create the cosiest environment. Step inside and you will find earthy interiors, which set the scene for a dreamy retreat. The sumptuous king-sized bed promises the most restful night's sleep, and the warming wood burner with a generous supply of logs allows for plenty of serene moments beside the warm glow of flickering flames. The sleek kitchenette has been perfectly designed, complete with a dishwasher, electric hob and oven, fridge/ freezer and sink.

The ensuite shower-room hosts a walk-in rainfall shower and soft, fluffy robes to add a touch of luxury to your stay. Once the sun sets, embrace time together curled up under a blanket while playing board games or snuggling down to watch your favourite film on the smart TV.

Outdoors is where Ruska really comes to life. The stunning stone bathtub is large enough for both of you to sink into the bubbles, with a glass of wine in hand. There’s a rustic fire pit and charcoal barbecue to embrace alfresco cooking, or why not toast marshmallows under the moonlight as the stars light up the sky. What a perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring.

For an unforgettable memory, take a blanket and wander up the hill behind your hideaway. Once you reach the top, you’ll need a moment to take in the far-reaching views across the beautiful Severn Valley. The River Severn stretches to your left with the Forest of Dean to your right. This is the idyllic spot to sit down and watch the world go by for a little while, no distractions, just time together in the most magical setting.

Why not make your stay extra special and treat yourself or your loved one to a spa treatment from Pure Bliss Spa by Amy. Amy is happy to come out to Ruska for private spa treatments to take place in the cabin itself. If you fancy a speciality massage or facial by Amy, please speak with the owner to organise before your stay.
