Cottage holiday rentals in Forest of Dean District

The view from the property was the highlight of our trip. we spent all our time in the egg chairs watching the world go by wonderful location and the hot tub was warmed up for when we got there which was a welcomed treat after our long drive

Lovely stay at this beautiful cottage within Weston super mare. Booked for a birthday celebration and was an excellent choice. Location was brilliant, within walking distance from the pier and beach, as well as a few shops, restaurants and pubs etc. parking also avail on street for free or within a car park- £4 approx for 24 hours which is absolutely fine. Cottage itself was simple yet chic, adding an element of luxury with simplicity. Really lovely decor and amenities. Bed was supper comfy which is important for us. Kitchen was stunning, clean. A huge thank you for the local produce you provided, this was really appreciated and made it that extra special for us. Hot tub was great, situated in the garden and made private with beautiful fig trees and outdoor lights. Was really a special time away. Really great communication from the owners too. Overall could not fault the cottage and would definitely return.

Really enjoyed our stay at Humbug Barn! Gorgeous property, really picturesque location, a really warm reception and felt looked after at all times. Was lovely to meet the donkeys and can’t wait to be back!!

Amazing stay at the Yarlington Dairy. The cottage was stunning and had everything you needed. The views were magnificent and the cider was also lush! Laura was a wonderful host, super friendly and very responsive. Thank you for a great stay celebrating our 1st wedding anniversary! 🤩 x

Traceys place is a fantastic cottage to base yourself to explore the Forest of Dean. A short drive to the main visitor centres and several walks available from the door. Lovely little place to come back to after being out exploring for the day, it's perfect for couples. The garden isn't secure, but they do have a ground spike with a long line on (or another cottage with a fenced garden). There is also a meadow field which is great to take your dog up to. Tracey and Dave were lovely hosts with what was probably the most comprehensive recommendations email we have ever had.

We had an amazing stay at Jeremy’s place. Went for a mini moon after getting married and it was absolutely perfect. Looks exactly like the photos and the scenery is beautiful. We absolutely loved the hot tub, so private and amazing views. Would definitely stay again

This was our second visit to Elmside and we would 100% recommend anybody to stay here. Lovely and clean, and a hot tub to enjoy. Great location too. We hope to come back for a third visit someday. Thanks Lynda & Gary for being fantastic hosts.

My family attended a wedding at Clearwell Castle, and Lindsey's home was perfectly situated for us, as the venue was just an easy 10-minute drive away. We enjoyed a couple of wonderful nights' sleep, thanks to the quiet surroundings of the cottage. We will definitely stay again to explore the Forest of Dean.

absolutely gorgeous place, felt like we were in paradise. Elaine and Tony are so lovely and welcoming, and everything is dog friendly, will be returning!

what a beautiful little cottage in a stunning location. Lots of wonderful walks and gorgeous views. We felt that Cathy was always contactable if needed but we had no problems at all. Would definitely recommend!

We had a lovely stay at this beautiful place. It was so quiet and peaceful. The property was really clean , well equipped and had a super comfy bed and large shower. There were so many lovely places to visit nearby. The station ( just over a mile away with free parking) was great for a day trip to Bristol. Quiet lanes for cycling and dry safe bike storage area available. Fern responded really quickly to any queries we had.

There are SuperHosts and then there’s Pete!! What a star - he likes to chat to newcomers if he can, and we found him full of really useful info. He even managed to get us a table at the local pub, The White Horse. It was packed, but the service and food were excellent. He also recommended a walk up to the Kymin, which was fantastic - what a view. Pete also gave us the most generous welcome basket of goodies we’ve ever had!! All in all, the perfect, peaceful, pad in a great location to get anywhere in the Wye valley, Forest of Dean or wider Monmouthshire. And Pete!

We stayed just one night with a relatively last minute booking as we were passing through the area. The cottage is perfect, very clean and ideal for any stay. The location is lovely, on a working farm but very quiet and peaceful. And Debs was super helpful and friendly. Perfect stay, we would definitely stay again and for longer if we had more time.

What an amazing place!! We had a wonderful weekend here - the garden and surroundings are beautiful and peaceful, and the cottage had all the necessary essentials and amenities. The cottage is beautifully finished, and everything was clean and tidy. The underfloor heating meant it was always warm; and there was always hot water and the bathroom/en-suite are luxurious. We had a lot of fun doing activities in the local area, and enjoyed a “Sound of Music” walk to The Boat Inn.

What a gorgeous place if all you need is peace and quiet and the sound of the birds this is for you. Even better is it’s only 25 minutes from Abergavenny and it’s Waitrose 😉. Wilma was lovely and updated us with everything and replied with answers to our queries . We are only annoyed that we took so long to find this little gem!

Lovely stay at the old dairy! We were in Gloucester for two nights and it was perfect. We didn’t get to do as much as we wanted but you can’t predict the weather. It was cosy and comfortable. Gatsby says thank you for his treats! He sniffed them out straight away! Thank you for a perfect stay.

The Stable is a spacious property with everything you need for your stay. The bedroom is upstairs with a large & comfy bed & ensuite bathroom. The lounge area has various board games, books & foosball table to keep children & adults entertained. The kitchen & dining room is large and sunny. There is also a downstairs bathroom and utility room with washing machine. Yvonne was great to communicate with - quick to answer any questions. The fresh milk and scones on arrival was a nice touch. The Stable is well located for walks directly from the property or a short drive to the Forest of Dean. We enjoyed pizza & beer at the tap room at Bespoke Brewery in Littledean, dinner at Post in Newnham (highly recommend) & cider tasting at Severn Cider in Awre. If you're looking for a quiet break in the countryside, book here.

We had a fabulous stay at Peter and Victoria’s Coombe Cottage. We truly could not have asked for a better arrangement and setting. The cottage sits on the crest of a hill overlooking the lush landscape below. The cottage itself had all we needed; a comfortable seating, comfortable bed, and the shower was great. The Farm Store just outside Wotten has great meals, simple to prepare at the cottage for the evenings that we didn’t want to eat out. The only disappointment was that we couldn’t spend more time getting to know Peter and Victoria as they left for a trip shortly after we arrived. They are a lovely couple that live in the main house adjacent to the cottage.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with freshly baked bread and a thoughtful basket of goodies — such a personal and generous touch. The space itself was beautiful, cozy, and spotless, with every detail carefully considered. But what truly made our stay unforgettable was our hostess. She was incredibly kind and welcoming — warm, helpful, and genuinely caring. It’s clear she puts her heart into making her guests feel completely at home. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and can’t wait to return. Highly, highly recommended!

I would highly recommend the cottage, which is perfect if you’re looking for somewhere in a rural location, but which is easily accessible to all the amenities the Forest of Dean has to offer and near to Monmouth. Miranda welcomed us on arrival and was able to help with any queries we had, she was also available if we had any problems during our stay. We will definitely be returning.

Big thank you to Andrew and Sarah for the amazing little cottage. Perfect for a quiet getaway. They were both there to greet my partner and I, and were there to see us off. Lots of recommendations and info, and a lovely suggested walk starting and ending at the cottage. Lovely hosts, lovely surrounding, lovely cottage. Cant recommended it enough!

Fabulous accommodation Very peaceful setting Place to yourselves but host on hand for any requests. Everything we needed for a private cosy base for exploring Would highly recommend Thanks Marjanne. Also the Dogs are adorable 😍

We had a gorgeous stay at Fleet Cottage. Such a lovely setting - we enjoyed a sunny breakfast outside looking at the views and amazing walking nearby at the Malvern Hills. The cottage is well equipped and the bed linens were very high quality. Jacqui was a very friendly and helpful host. I’m sure we will be back.

My wife and I stayed here for two nights over the weekend while attending a nearby wedding, and absolutely loved it. The place itself is beautiful – full of charm, peaceful, and surrounded by stunning countryside. It felt very private and wholesome, like a perfect little retreat. Kirstie was brilliant – extremely responsive, kind, and helpful throughout. You can tell they really care about the space and their guests. We also loved meeting her lovely dogs! Everything was clean, well thought out, and comfortable, with lovely touches that made it feel like a home away from home - thanks for the brownies and breakfast! We’d happily return and would definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a tranquil, characterful place to stay in the area.
