Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Forest of Dean District

Lovely stay in Abergavenny right in the heart of the town and a cosy cottage

Wharfinger’s Cottage is an idyllic sanctuary! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to be back!

This amazing, quirky cottage is in a spectacular setting. The house is lovely and spacious, really comfortable and full of character. The valley it sits in is teeming with wildlife: we saw deer, pheasants, an owl, butterflies and so much more, all only footsteps from the door. It was such a treat. Sam and Mark were wonderful hosts, very unobtrusive but easily contactable and helpful if needed. It was the perfect place to unwind for a few days with the family. We had intended to go for out and about, but instead, we spent a lot of time enjoying the garden, the pond, playing games in front of the log burner, cooking and eating together in the well-equipped, expansive kitchen and generally having a great time. We would love to return another time. Thank you to Sam and Mark for sharing your Enchanted Mill and the lush valley. Missing it already :-)

We enjoyed our stay and felt very at home. There were lots of homely touches. The beds were very comfortable, with quality bedding. Ideal cottage for a 2 night break.

An absolute gem - peaceful remote location on a farm. Really homely with everything you could need - well equipped kitchen, lots of books, games, puzzles etc - super warm and cosy too. There is a lovely balcony where we were lucky enough to have perfect conditions for star gazing in the evening, whilst listening to owls hooting around us. Antonia and her mum & dad were really friendly, sharing local knowledge and best places to go. Check in / check out was easy and relaxed with great instructions provided. Plenty of parking close by. Approximately 20 mins from Brecon where there are supermarkets and takeaways/ restaurants. Approx 40 mins to start Penny-Fann horseshoe walk. Thankyou Antonia for making us feel so welcome 😊

Thank you Rosanna for letting us stay in your beautiful house. It was absolutely perfect for our family reunion. I wish we could have stayed longer, as it felt like home. Your instructions and communication were prompt and extremely helpful. Little touches like a welcome card, daffodils, chocolate cake and crisps were extremely thoughtful. Thank you once again.

The property has beautiful views over the lake and we could see loads of different water birds. The view was even better than the photos suggested. The property was spacious, clean and very comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped and has an excellent coffee machine. This would be perfect for an extended family group or 2 families sharing. There was lots of storage and places for shoes and coats. The onsite restaurant Balihoo was excellent especially if you are coeliac. There was also a pizza shack that my kids said was great. Clare was a proactive host and the property is run by Orion holidays who sent plenty of communication and information. We will definitely visit again.

Dan was super helpful, responsive and friendly. Ideal place for a family or couples to stay for a truly relaxing and peaceful break from reality. The place was clean and tidy and felt very homely. The private therapist you can hire was SUPERB and a great addition to our stay. Everything was perfect and you cannot fault Dan in the slightest - excellent host.

Beautiful property with everything we could possibly want. Felt completely at home, lit the fire which was wonderful. Very spacious. Very clean. Lovely furnishings. Elizabeth was there to meet us and show us where everything was. Fabulous location. Would happily return

We loved staying at Miranda and Alex’s place. The cottage was spacious and neat and the amenities were thoughtful and provided in adequate quantities. Miranda was an extremely helpful and generous host. She was kind enough to also bake us extremely tasty bread that we thoroughly enjoyed. All in all an enjoyable experience and we would certainly recommend this to anyone looking for a good base to explore nearby parts of Cotswolds. Look forward to staying here in the future.

Wonderful apartment in the amazing lower mill estate. The perfect get away for our family Brilliant host with great communication A really great stay

We really enjoyed our stay in the garden flat. The location was great for walks on the Malvern Hills as well as exploring Gt Malvern & other nearby places. The flat was very comfortable & well equipped and was perfect for our mini break. The breakfast ingredients were much appreciated. Thank you very much Sue.

Peaceful location and clean, cosy accommodation. Ideal for our purpose which was researching properties in Chepstow. There is no kitchen so be prepared to travel to eat and the location is off the beaten track so use the what3words reference for accurate sat nav especially in the dark.

We had a lovely break away, the accommodation had everything we wanted and as described. It was easy and quick to walk into Bath centre while being in a very quiet street. Would recommend.

We had an amazing time! The views are incredible! Alison was so accommodating. She gave us excellent directions and suggested great places to go and eat! The accommodation is ever better than the pictures. And we really enjoyed the homemade bread and cake! And the breakfast was really tast with local eggsy! I also worked from here and the internet was fine for video calls all day. We will be returning soon as it was one of the best airbnb's we've stayed at. And Alisons hospitality and attenattention to detail was second to none!!!

This is a lovely place to stay with beautiful views from the outside terrace. This accommodation had everything we needed and was very convenient for visiting local attractions such as Wells and Cheddar Gorge. Carol was excellent at communicating and very helpful when we needed to change our booking due to personal circumstances. Thank you for a great stay Carol and the delicious complimentary cream tea you left for us. We would definitely come back here again and recommend it to family and friends.

Beautiful and relaxing! Great hosts and the perfumed washes stunning! Just what we needed, a peaceful retreat!

The cabin is set in a beautiful location and is roomy and well equipped. Even in February we were cosy and warm. There are thoughtful touches like board games which we enjoyed playing. There was a handy guide to local restaurants and the hosts were very welcoming and kind. We would highly recommend Tessa’s cabin , Thank you Rose & Adrian

An astonishing view, peaceful place, quiet and calm ☺️ Had an amazing Easter break with our little one! Thank you Georgie for flexible check in. For some freebie’s that we found at home. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to escape from the city.

It was a lovely stay, exactly what we were looking for. Very peaceful with stunning views. We hope to stay there again in the future.

What an incredible place to stay! We loved it. It’s so peaceful and beautiful. Vicky and Craig were amazing hosts and so friendly. We would happily recommend staying with them.

Had a lovely stay at Clare’s cabin. Beautiful surroundings and very peaceful. Clare was very helpful and even allowed us an early check in. Would definitely recommend.

Wonderful stay. Beautiful location. Unbelievably peaceful and the dog loved it!

We spent a fabulous Easter bank holiday weekend at Katie’s place and absolutely loved it. The cabin itself is excellently designed in terms of layout, so whilst compact it had pretty much everything we needed and the four of us (incl our two university age ‘big kids’) didn’t feel like we were on top of each other. We absolutely loved the hot tub and made the most of it (sorry Katie if we got through a lot of logs!). Thoroughly recommend the walk through the really atmospheric woods (via the footpath that leads from the bottom of the garden) to Penallt Old Church and the further on down the hill to The Boat Inn for some serious cider tasting. In brief - great cabin, beautiful and peaceful surroundings and lovely hosts. Thoroughly recommended!!
