Cottage vacation rentals in Puzzle Wood

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.

We had a wonderful family stay at the Old Feedhouse. The house was beautiful and just the right size for us and the two grandmas. The kitchen was well equipped and the lovely little extras and details were really appreciated. Our eight year old loved her special bedroom and there were plenty of places to keep clothes for our five night stay. The garden was lovely and the hot tub was fab. We used it every day in sun and rain! We had trips to Worcester by boat (thanks to Severn Expeditions - brilliant family business, so helpful and genuine), Tewkesbury, Simmonds Yat, the Forest of Dean, West Midlands Safari Park and found lots of lovely places to eat and plenty of takeaways too. Claudia was a wonderful host and very responsive and thoughtful. Highly recommend - we’ll be booking again!

Lovely stay for the weekend - it’s really beautiful and well appointed. Spotless and spacious. Communication before arrival was excellent. I scraped my ankle and the hosts provided plasters promptly which was much appreciated. Bath was also very comfy, a real treat as we don’t have one! Would definitely recommend.

Lovely stay at Kozicot. Simon was always helpful and the little cottage is very quant. Thanks for having us would definately recommend.

Amazing places to stay, looked even better in person and host was incredibly helpful.

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.

Had a wonderful stay at Meg's cottage, as a family of four with two children, 3 and 5. The cottage was well suited to small children, with safety features, beautiful grounds to explore and no unnecessary clutter and ornaments (a personal pet hate in air bnbs when travelling with young children!). Meng was friendly and responsive. Perfect stay, thank you!

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.

James was very responsive when we had trouble finding the place (due to technical problems accessing the airbnb website with the full address). He stayed on the phone with us as we drove and gave us instructions. The place was very homey and comfortable, mostly clean, with the exception of minor issues. Some small amount of mould in one of the bathrooms. There was a homemade cake for us which was delicious. We had a great time staying there.

Wonderful long weekend at Flagstone Cottage, the most peaceful place we’ve ever been, no car noises whatsoever and beautiful scenery. Cottage was exactly as described. We asked for the BBQ to come back out and Clare actually brought out all the outside furniture for us to use which was a nice surprise when we got back from our day trip. Our 5yo daughter loved the mezzanine bedroom and being able to have multiple baths a day (we only have a shower at home). The walk from Llanthony Priory up Hatterhall hill is amazing and the pint in the priory grounds at the end was very scenic and rewarding! Hay-On-Wye is well worth a visit, Abergavenny also.

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 .

Not a lot to say really, it was fab! Great for the dogs, enclosed garden and plenty of space for them, plus it was lovely to be able to walk round the grounds of the property. Location was perfect, so peaceful, but within an easy drive to Monmouth. The house had absolutely everything one could need. Thank you Bob

What a lovely cottage , situated in an outstanding area of great walks , canoeing and pubs all within easy walking distance. The cottage is cosy and has everything you need including the necessary, wifi, a bluetooth speaker, open fire and nice touches like torches for walking in the evening. The Ye olde Ferrie boat Inn has a great atmosphere and good food and outdoor seating by the river. Dog Friendly inside too. This is only 10 min walk from the cottage. The Saracens head is on the other side of the river . They do have a hand ferry but only in peak season, so otherwise it is an hour walk up the river to the footbridge 30 mins( which is a modern style rope type bridge which is exciting) and then back along the river to the pub 30 mins. Coming back in the dark was fine and under the stars and listening to all the wildlife in the Forest was quite magical. Also dog friendly , so you can choose how energetic you want to be for your lunch or evening meals! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

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.

Had a lovely restful stay at Sarah's. Both our dogs were happy; a daschund and wolfhound. Good walks around and lovely space at Sarah's to allow the dogs to have a run around as well as a safe walled garden to keep the dogs safe and stop them from roaming free on the farm. Lovely local pubs with good food and all we visited welcomed the dogs and us making us feel very welcome. Would stay again.

Lovely place to stay for a few days get away. Plenty of great walks, pubs and places of interest. The cottage itself was warm, clean and comfortable. Andy and Naz checked in with us after the first night to make sure we had everything we needed and to offer local information. Great hosts. Thank you.

A beautiful remote location with views of Severn Estuary. The cottage had everything we needed and was very homely. We hope to be back soon!

Martyn and Rosemary have a beautiful cottage tucked away in the countryside but only 5 minutes away drive from Stroud. The cottage was everything we had imagined and more for spending Christmas with my family. They had put up a decorated Christmas trees and lights. There was fire wood and kindling to have cosy evenings playing games and singing Christmas songs. They were extremely accommodating, making us feel as though we had lived there and was part of the community. It was an unforgettable trip with the beautiful views of the Cotswolds, everything to see and visit and explore the nature. But then to come home after a long day and be able to cook in a incredibly kitted and comfortable kitchen and sit beside the fire place. Well done to Martyn and Rosemary for such a magical and unforgettable stay. We wish you a very happy New year!!

Lovely place to stay in a beautiful location. Cottage was clean and cosy, really appreciated the welcoming food left for us, brownies were great! Surrounding area was great to explore. Friendly host, loved our stay and would definitely return again. Thanks!

We had a cosy stay. We loved the light, airy, oak beamed sun room with underfloor heating. Lots of hot water for showers and baths. Enjoyed the Aga, (would like more time to get used to cooking on it..... but a managed a tarte Tintin.) Serena very helpful and friendly, will answer questions. When we arrived the fire was lit and bread, milk, eggs, crisps and biscuits had been kindly left. There were staples in the cupboard which was very handy.

If it was possible to paint a description of the word perfect then cwtch cottage would become that picture. There simply aren’t enough superlatives to describe venue, accommodation or hosts. The cottage was immaculately clean and well equipped with everything you could want or need. Seemingly every detail had been considered by the hosts who were themselves a perfect blend of attentive and responsive without being overbearing. location is ideal, being remote enough to sit in tranquil serenity but not so isolated to make exploration a chore. The linen was fresh and plentiful, the raft of items left to ensure comfort were of a quality to that you’d have at home. The hot tub was clean and upto temperate on arrival providing immediate rest-bite if required from your journey to the Cotswolds. WiFi was great and reliable and even a fire stick was active in a good sized tv. The furnishings were also great quality, who doesn’t love John Lewis cushions :-) thank you. We Will definitely be back

Highly recommend this cottage . Stunning location on hillside with beautiful views across the valley, within easy reach of outdoor activities and selection of pub restaurants. Cottage is cosy , well equipped and nicely decorated. Great balcony for morning coffee or breakfast. Bridget was brilliant with prompt communication and easy to follow instruction . There for the weekend but could have stayed longer.

We were sad to leave but so very happy that in our travels our paths crossed with Sophie, Michael, their homely cottage, & their magical gardens. Sophie is a terrific host—kind, considerate, generous. Our stay at Kingstone Cottage was a month long so we lived & worked from the cottage (excellent Wifi, dedicated work space, quiet surroundings). The kitchen is well equipped, bright and airy with a fantastic view of one of the many garden spaces). Tania worked from the kitchen table comfortably on several occasions. We made use of all appliances (including the vacuum, keeping the cottage clean & tidy was super easy). Shops are nearby for your everyday groceries, walkable if you take the public footpath as Sophie recommended, we did more birding this way. Another definite: spend some quiet time in the many lovingly curated private garden spaces Sophie and her husband Michael have created over the 50 years they have lived at Kingstone, truly a special place you won't easily forget.

Had a lovely 3 nights stay in a very comfortable cottage with beautiful views across open countryside. The cottage is well equipped with everything you may need and was very clean . Lovely sunny conservatory leads onto garden and patio . Comfortable bed with lovely comfy pillows. Excellent location for travel to many of the popular tourist locations all within easy reach. Good instructions from Chris and Natalie for directions and check-in as well as secure gated parking . Would stay again if we revisit the area again.
