Villa vacation rentals in Forest of Dean

We had a fabulous stay at Deerview Lodge. In a stunning countryside location with views over the fields. It is peaceful, the hot tub is lovely. A very comfortable, well maintained and spotless property. The owner is friendly and helpful. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Olivia’s house is lovely - plenty of space for everyone and great amenities (games room, TVs, speakers, hot tube etc.). Olivia lives in the house next door and was wonderful, always checking that everything was okay and helping when our fob broke. Couldn’t recommend enough!

It is in a lovely location, great views of the Malvern Hills, lots of good walks close by. Many good eating places not too far away. The Cow Shed is well equipped, with an excellent bathroom and shower, comfortable living area. The kitchen is a bit smaller than we would have liked, but it all worked really well. Nigel was very attentive, making sure we were comfortable. Our elderly spaniel enjoyed the space around and got on well with the two really friendly terrier residents! Will definitely revisit.

Had a couple of days away to destress after Christmas. We only live 10 minutes drive away but it felt like we were far,far away. Lovely property overlooking a lake. It was cold and foggy one of the days but we had lovely walks around the lakes. The host was great. Had contact and they were fast and helpful. Hoping to make this an annual event every January now. Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful property.

10 of us stayed at this beautiful place for New Year (6 adults and 4 small children). We had the best time and absolutely loved the swimming pool and how spacious and clean the house was. Lucy was a great host and check in on us regularly although she was away herself. She alway responded quickly and was very helpful. We would love to return.

This was honestly the nicest Airbnb I have ever stayed in, it is truly incredible and I can’t stress enough how much the pictures don’t do it justice - but it makes it all the more magical when you arrive. We spent nearly an hour just exploring the gardens, we spent a whole day on the boat with friendly dragonflies. Truly in love and will be back! Thankyou Thomas!

Oldbury Barn is in a lovely location in the countryside with great views (though tricky to find, so the 'what3words' helped a lot!). The house was nicely presented and lovely and clean. Plenty of pots, pans, mugs (!) utensils etc for a large family group. The open plan nature of the kitchen/diner/lounge is great for a multi generational family gathering like ours, as you are always all together in one huge room. However, note that its a tiled floor and there isn't much in the way of soft furnishings so noise echoes around a bit and can be heard from all bedrooms - but this is only a problem if you have very young kids going to bed early or getting up early! The 2 ground floor bedrooms are large and with lots of storage. The 2 upstairs bedrooms are small with very low ceilings and little storage - fine for kids but we were were 7 adults and one toddler, so that didnt work brilliantly for us . The "slight height restriction" in the description is quite an understatement!!

Incredible spacious property, quiet, beautiful scenery, super clean & welcoming. Underfloor heating worked well. Sonos & dimmable lights create great ambience & wifi worked well. Multiple generations all happy with their stay. James welcomed us when we arrived, delivery driver found us easily for groceries & Alasdair was extremely responsive & accommodating. Lovely site, warm pool, clean facilities, tennis courts, playground, nature reserve all recommended. Highly recommend for a long weekend family reunion. Didn’t use the spa or gym (kids aged 4 months-7 years). Two fridge freezers plus utility room were very helpful & well used. Thanks Alasdair for a wonderful stay!

It’s difficult to convey quite how beautiful and unique this property is . The photos hinted at something special, but they don't really capture its magic. We emerged from a winding, tree-canopied driveway so see the fountain and the villa ahead framed in September sunshine and our jaws dropped! It's an incredibly peaceful setting, perched on Bathwick Hill, with stunning views over Bath and the surrounding valley. The villa itself is vast with high ceilings and an abundance of light. The décor is exquisite, filled with art, photos, and lots of cool musical references, and yet it's also incredibly comfortable and was the perfect location to spend a few unforgettable days celebrating a special birthday with friends. Steve, the house manager, greeted us at check-in and couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating . His thoughtful suggestions really enhanced our stay. We also met the owner, Andy, at check out who shared some fascinating insights into the villa’s history.
