Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Forest of Dean District

We have just had the most incredible stay at Nichola’s place for my sister’s hen do. From the moment we arrived, she was warm and welcoming and met us to show us around. She also came to say bye at the end of our stay and asked how we got on which was lovely. The house itself is amazing and somehow exceeded our expectations- the photos look brilliant but in person it is stunning! Would definitely recommend!

Debbie’s cottage was immaculate and so convenient for walks with our dogs along the Wye river and woodland. So close too, for the local Inns, which also allowed our dogs to be with us. Would highly recommend Debbie’s cottage .

This cottage was a perfect place to stay to explore the Cotswolds! Easily drivable to lots of towns and villages, we got the bus to Cirencester one evening, and the cottage also has a lovely pub (the old neighbourhood inn) a short walk away. It was very lovely to arrive to milk, eggs, bread and butter. The cottage is cute and has everything you need - including a lovely little terrace outside. We would definitely stay here again!

A stunning converted barn in a beautiful tranquil location. Spotlessly clean and well thought out. A lot to do on the doorstep for couples and families. Perfect place for a lovely country break. We were aware when we went (from other reviews) that there aren’t doors on the upstairs bedrooms. There’s a privacy screen beside the smaller room and a heavy curtain in the doorway of the larger bedroom. This didn’t concern us but is a quirk that some might not be so sure of.

A little piece of heaven. Just perfect for a few days of R&R. Although, the amount of walking we did there wasn’t much rest. The views from the balcony are something else, we somehow managed to lose 3 hrs sat there on our first afternoon. The location is perfect for getting on to the A40 and to further afield. We did not take advantage of the pool or saunas (which, now home feels like it was a wasted opportunity). The pool area is beautiful, and can see in the depths of summer being a real treat. From the booking Ruth was so helpful in giving us recommendations for where to visit and eat. Take the advice when it comes to The Angel Bakery in Abergavenny! It is out of this world. We throughly enjoyed our stay at the pavilion and hope to visit again.

Lovely stay at The Little Dairy. It was only 25 mins drive to the Hay Festival and a peaceful place to rest our heads between the two days we attended. The accommodation was clean, beautifully presented and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We would definitely book again when visiting the area.

My partner and I stayed here for two nights in late May and we had a wonderful experience. Maudie the host was very friendly and helpful from the beginning all the way through to the end of our stay. The barn is just how it looks in the pictures, beautiful, spacious but also cosy at the same time. There’s plenty of entertainment such as board games, TV/Netflix, music speakers to keep you entertained on a rainy day. It’s a short 15-20min drive to the nearest big town which is Stow-on-the-Wold, which is easy enough to do since I’d imagine most guests will have a car. We were also provided with plenty of recommendations from Maudie, for things to do in the local and surrounding areas. Overall this place is brilliant! I would absolutely go back again if I have the chance.

We had an amazing stay at the barn! Sophie was super responsive. It was the peaceful, relaxing stay we hoped for.

Ann's place is incredible- stayed for two nights and there is everything you could possibly need or anticipate in the house. We had a great time - the pool and hot tub were very clean and the house was perfect! Ann was extremely responsive and helpful. Would absolutely book again!

If you want luxury, with the most stunning views, Wales Retreat is the place for you 🥰

Me and my partner went with the dog, we had one of the best times in this spot, really relaxing to be at the pod and then travelling around the villages was lots of fun. Was always nice to come back to the lovely pod! The kitchen had everything you needed as well

We loved our stay at Mike and Joan’s barn. We were a mixed family group including three generations. Everyone loved the pool - which was so relaxing and clean and the perfect temperature. Two of our group couldn’t get out much for health reasons but they both loved the character and comfort of the barn and feeling so connected to nature even without leaving the property. We loved watching goldfinches on the common from the dining room window and my daughter slept on the mezzanine sofa bed so she could wake to the spectacular sunrise. Both Mike and Joan made a real effort to meet our slightly complicated needs (autistic teenagers, elderly grandad having cancer treatment) and Mike was incredibly kind letting me and my horsey daughter enjoy wonderful times with his beautiful horses. We had an amazing trip, made some precious memories and very much hope to come back soon. Big thank you to Joan and Mike.

We absolutely loved our stay at The Coach House! It was exactly as described and very comfortable. Charlie and Peter were great hosts and had thought of everything. We loved the overall vibe of the house and garden - it’s very Soho Farmhouse chic - and there were even eggs from the local chickens there for us to enjoy. We all said how much we’d love to come back and stay again, and will definitely be recommending it to our friends!

What a wonderful place to stay the night! Pool was lovely, beds were comfy and everything was very clean and tidy. Thanks for a lovely stay 😊

A beautiful cottage in fabulous surroundings. Great for adults and children alike. Victoria was a wonderful host and very communicative. I wholeheartedly recommend this venue. The kitchen is particularly well appointed - even down to a meat thermometer. - very good quality utensils. Lots of games to play including an X- box.

Very welcoming host, met us right on time and gave us a tour of the cottage! Also a lovely touch that Hillary left a few farm eggs for us so we had them for breakfast! Good location, all amenities were as described, a few shops near by (5-10 mins drive) so we had a good holiday just switching off for a few days! A few recommendations for pubs as well - we picked the Foxham which we really liked! The only improvement I’d say would be that it would be good to have an option of a blind/curtain for the front door/window.

We had a lovely couple of nights at Louise’s place. Great for the dog with an enclosed garden and immediately on a public footpath. Kids loved seeing the farm animals so close

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!

Exactly what we needed! Perfect stay, felt completely immersed in nature, while still super comfortable. Beautiful walks nearby and easy to access areas around like the Forest of Dean. Really comfortable beds and warm. Had everything we needed. Hosts were responsive and helpful, as well as flexible with check in and check out times (as no one was booked in after us!). Feel rejuvenated! Will be back :)

Absolutely beautiful! The lodge was perfect, very clean, airy and spacious. The view is stunning, couldn’t get enough of it! Was amazing to wake up and be able to lay in bed and look out at that view! Love the location as it’s close to civilisation but feels rural. Definitely will come back :-)

Had a great weekend in the Forest of Dean from Jennie's place for our anniversary. Very peaceful and a good detox from the tech filled modern world. The space was perfect for our young German Shepard pup Raven. Location is great for walks just across the road and easy access to all the Forest of Dean has to offer.

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!!

This was my third time staying at Antonia's beautiful place. Stunning surroundings, beautiful walks at your doorstep. Lots to do and visit in the local area. The Shed is super cosy and very comfortable bed. Highly recommended.

Peregrine Hideaway was a perfect retreat, very peaceful lots of birdsong and no traffic - pure bliss. Accommodation was compact and bijou but had everything you could want. John was a perfect host as was Pam., both friendly. Looking forward to going back sometime
