Cottage vacation rentals in Forest of Dean District

Lorraine and Baz were lovely and gave us all the relevant information. They we’re flexible with check out times and all questions were answered quickly. The local pubs were lovely and we met regulars who gave us further information about walks which we went on that were lovely, definitely check out Avebury if you stay. The hot tub was a lovely touch! Thank you very much for everything xx

Hot tub with exceptional view! Extremely responsive host and nothing was too much trouble. Easter eggs were a lovely and thoughtful touch. Thank you very much for a wonderful few days.

This is a beautiful cottage with a huge hot tub me and my partner had an amazing stay here with all the amenities you could want and more it was so clean and felt right at home here 5 stars from us we will define be returning ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A beautiful well appointed cottage, lovely and clean with comfortable beds. The hot tub in the well kept private garden was a bonus. Poppy was responsive to questions and queries and had left some lovely personal touches to make check nice and smooth. Bath is just a short drive and there are lots of local pubs for a lovely meal out. The surrounding area was quiet and beautiful. We would definitely go back.

We had a lovely stay in what is an absolutely beautiful cottage. Great location and across the road from an absolutely brilliant pub! Tori and Jack were very accommodating and always quick to respond to any queries. Great hosts! Recommend

Our stay at The Good Life was lovely! The spotless converted barn felt instantly welcoming, with every detail thoughtfully arranged for comfort. Debbie was very welcoming and very helpful, offering great recommendations and thoughtful touches like heating the tub before we got there. The stunning countryside location provided the perfect escape. We were staying here to visit the Brecon Beacons, and the location was perfect, as it is only 20 minutes away. The highlight was the amazing hot tub—perfect for unwinding under the stars. A beautiful stay, thank you for having us. Would definitely recommend staying here!

A fantastic stay in a wonderful property! Dawn’s place really felt like home; the building has been lovingly rebuilt from the ground up to give a truly great place to stay which is clean and comfortable with great amenities, especially the hot tub! Would highly recommend!

We had a wonderful weekend away at the Romantic Coast Cottage. From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless – check-in was super easy, and the place was spotless. The owners were proactive and clearly cared about our experience, leaving thoughtful recommendations and helpful booklets to guide us during our stay. The highlight, without a doubt, was the hot tub – soaking in it while taking in the stunning views was pure bliss. The scenery around the cottage is absolutely beautiful, and the peaceful atmosphere made it the perfect romantic escape. We couldn’t have asked for more and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing, scenic getaway.

Karl was waiting for me, when I arrived. Very friendly and informative. Always helpful and even loaned me a rucksack, for my walking, as I had left mine at home. The accommodation is only 10 mins from the Elan Valley reservoirs and the Dark Sky Park. Excellent location Both front and rear gardens have boundaries, so great for letting my dogs investigate securely. I plan to go again, after summer.

We loved the cottage ,so clean and comfortable and the garden/stream /swing and animals were a real hit with the children. We were made to feel very welcome -homemade cake ,lovely coffee ,bread and eggs ,such a nice touch with Easter eggs for the kids . Thank you Tracey and Dave .

Maxine was an excellent host! Lovely cottage in beautiful surroundings. Great base for countryside walks and visiting local villages. Very accomodating of us and our puppy.

This was my second time staying at Norton Court Farm and it was just as wonderful as the first. The cottage was cozy, spotlessly clean and appointed with many thoughtful amenities that make it feel like a home away from home. The kitchen was fully equipped making it easy to cook meals and the host was very welcoming and offered some lovely local recommendations. Thank you so much for hosting us! :)

Deer View cottage is was absolutely gorgeous! It’s a traditional cottage, so the stairs are steep & takes some getting used too, however do not let this put you off. There is a secure garden for the dogs, however a public walkway right across the road through a wooded area & fields which lead to the village green & cafe! Perfect for a morning coffee. The cottage was extremely clean with everything in place ie towels, hand soap, tea towels, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets & toilet rolls (including spares). Bathroom & separate shower was perfect when sharing with family or couples. Definitely recommend Deer View cottage, it catered for all our needs including our dogs & the surprise views in the back garden was totally unexpected! Hosts were perfect!

The bungalow is clean, comfortable and provided all that we needed for a short Easter break. The living area was equipped with all the basics, as well as with free Wi-fi and Netflix, although no other channels were available. The tv was small (32"), especially when seated on the sofa or armchair. During our three night stay, the local Forest School and Oakraven Centre had children attending courses, so there was something of a mini 'Rush hour' in the morning and evening. It was not a problem but required wariness for walkers and opposing traffic in a single track road. The woodland walks locally are good and plentiful, Lorraine providing good guidelines to other attractions and trails. A beautiful area.

We had a lovely stay in Jane’s cottage. It was really peaceful with comfy beds for a good night’s sleep. The cottage itself is really well equipped and we enjoyed cooking at home for a couple of nights, as well as sampling the local restaurants (highly recommend Beleza Rodizio in Stratford). The location is perfect for exploring the local area and a short 20 minute walk into Stratford through playing fields which our dog loved. We hope to stay again!

Amazing AirBnB. Beautiful panoramic window, all furnished well, super huge comfy bed, fantastic shower, Peter was hugely helpful and responded straight away when we couldn’t get the heating going, great dog walks, 4 miles to lovely Ludlow and a National Trust castle. Super lovely break! Thank you Peter and Hilary 😊🐶

Beautiful cosy cottage within walking distance of all that Cirencester had to offer. We loved our stay. We met Rupert and Olive the Cockapoo in their garden, they gave us a great welcome and shared tips on places to walk and restaurants to visit. Thank you :)

Beautiful cottage that had everything you could want/need and more! Katie provided everything that we needed for a short break, utensils, pots/pans etc and the games were a lovely addition too😊 The location is absolutely stunning, there was nothing better than watching the sunrise from the hot tub listening to the wildlife! Would recommend the cottage to anyone looking for a break away to relax with friends/family. The goats and ducks were also very cute!

We’ve just come back from having a lovely long weekend away. The location of the accommodation was brilliant, it was very clean, the kitchen has everything you need to cook with, the bathroom and en-suite was clean and spacious. Linda was amazing and she came over to make sure we have settled in and everything was ok. We would recommend The Farmers Arms which is just down the road or The Hunters Inn which is about 10-15 minutes drive for food. We would definitely book here again as we have only seen a small percentage of the area.

We had a lovely week at The Bothy. A peaceful cottage in a wonderful location. Alicia is a great host - very welcoming and with lots of local information. The Bothy is well appointed and has everything you need. Pretty gardens at this time of year a sea of snowdrops. The local pub is a few minutes walk away and was great for supper. We also visited very good restaurants The Walnut Tree and The Black Bear who both serve superb food. Lots of local walks and charming towns and villages. A restful stay in a beautiful location.

Lovely little cottage in a mostly peaceful plot with a nice chilled garden. Would stay again. Only downside for us was a bit of road noise but that's a risk with old cottages so near the road so we were aware in advance of the risk. Carley was friendly and attentive. Would recommend.

Perfect cottage, Host was very helpful and facilities that they provided were perfect. I could not recommend this place anymore! Thank you so much

We had a great weekend in the cottage. It was cosy and comfortable in a quiet, tucked away location. Kevin’s garden is beautiful and will be stunning when all the perennials come to bloom. Had a great nights sleep in comfy beds and the wood burner was easy to light and quickly took the evening chill away. The cottage had everything we needed and the nearby pub The Red Lion was that good we went back a second night. Would definitely recommend a stay here.

It was beyond words , it took my breath away, especially the swing :) lol, Seeing the sheep so up close was amazing and so special, The WiFi was very strong , even one bedrooms , If you want somewhere to relax and unwind , this is definitely the place for you, Jon was an amazing host, very responsive, answered all my questions, Very kind , Fully recommend,
