Bed and breakfast holiday rentals in Forest of Dean

This is such a peaceful, almost rural feeling area; a perfect contrast to the hustle and bustle of the city centre. You step into Petra and Dick’s home and are treated as a valued guest, nothing too much trouble. Comfortable bed too. Good if you like walking, close to footpaths into the hills with glorious views!

Thank you Richard and Sacha for a fantastic stay. We stayed in the Tudor Barn family room which was delightful, really spacious, clean and the amenities provided were an added bonus. Richard and Sacha were both so welcoming and friendly upon arrival and throughout our stay. Really responsive on the app and a pleasure to meet. Hopefully will return one day, thank you again!

Lovely cottage, exactly as described with cats and quirks, cute and old with lots of character. Cats were lovely, even the slightly grumpy one, breakfast was well above expectations. Delicious! Comfy bed too. Great place, sad we only stayed one night really!

My family and I loved staying at Suzanne’s. Stunning property on beautiful, tranquil grounds and we all had a lovely night’s sleep! We really appreciated all the attention to detail and the excellent communication from Suzanne, an absolute brilliant host and we wouldn’t hesitate recommending her to others.

It was lovely staying at Jessica's. She made us feel comfortable and welcome. The room is wonderful with a stunning view of Bath, and waking up to it was a pleasure. Her kitchen and garden are lovely too. While having breakfast, you can take in a panoramic view of Bath. While the house is easily accessible, the location makes it quiet and peaceful. The bed was really comfy too and we slept really well. We had a really packed 2 days and walked about a lot, so getting to rest at such a lovely, welcoming space at the end of the day was brilliant. Jessica is very knowledgeable about Bath and gave great recommendations. Meeting her was as much a pleasure as the stay!

What can I say? From the moment I arrived, Naomi was warm and welcoming and made me feel completely at home. She was full of great recommendations for coffee shops and nearby restaurants (there are a number of great ones) and knowledgable about fun day trips and local must-sees. Along with her husband Dave and son Michael, Naomi made my stay a lovely and stress-free one and I would wholeheartedly recommend their home for a stay in Cardiff. Thank you so much, Naomi. You couldn't possibly have been a more gracious host. :)

We had a lovely few days celebrating my 60th. Lovely place and beautiful surroundings. Would highly recommend.

Annie is a very welcoming host who makes you feel at home immediately. The room is in a lovely peaceful spot down a lane but within a 15 minute walk to a lovely pub with food. We would highly recommend to anyone looking for peace and quiet but also close enough to towns for amenities.

Really lovely clean room perfect for the solo traveller in the nicer area of town. Great shower and comfy bed! Beautiful garden to sit in too. Had a good walk up Leckhampton Hill for some amazing views 👌 easy bus at the end of the road to Gloucester.

This is a really beautiful house, inside and out. Lisa was communicative and helpful, and her dog was lovely too! We felt most welcome. The bed was very comfortable. We would love to come back if we are passing through this area again. (There is a really nice pub a 5 minute drive away, serving high quality pub grub and good beer with a lovely vibe.)

absolutely fantastic host and place!!!!!! she gave fabulous local recommendations, and if you love animals, this is THE place to stay in Cotswold!!!! absolutely lovely home with sooo much character and each space was well thought of and designed!!! highly recommend this for a lovely quaint experience in the countryside!!!! would come back here in a heartbeat!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Inge & Robert’s home. The room was cozy, spotless, and thoughtfully arranged—I slept wonderfully both nights! Their house and garden are beautifully decorated, with every detail reflecting their great taste—it felt like staying in a peaceful retreat. Inge and Robert were exceptionally kind hosts. When I ran into a small issue during my stay, they immediately offered help with genuine warmth, which I deeply appreciated. Their thoughtfulness truly made me feel at home. Thank you both for your hospitality and care. I’d love to stay here again if I’m back in Cheltenham!

We had a great time at Diana’s place. Her place is so peaceful and cosy we felt at home. The village is lovely and we could walk to the local pub where we had a tasty dinner. The bedroom and private bathroom were spotless and well-furnished. Diana provided everything we needed. She cooked an amazing breakfast for us ! She also gave us some advice about nice villages to visit to avoid the crowd. We highly recommend her place !! Thank you so much Diana ❤️

Pat was an incredible host. She truly went above and beyond. She was super communicative. She helped me with laundry, which was a major help while walking/hiking the Cotswold way. Her location was fantastic. It was a great balance of privacy, location, and a wonderful host. Highly recommend!

Great host, very responsive and welcoming, comfortable room and a lovely location!

Great if you’re traveling and want a better deal and better amenities than a hostel! The croissants each morning really were a blessing after drinking a little too much the night before!

The most inviting and wonderful place. Lovely atmosphere and very beautiful. Julie is a perfect host and everything was absolutely fabulous. Crickhowell is the perfect starting point for walks. Town is really nice. Breakfast was a so good! We will happily be back.

Excellent location within walking distance to the town centre and the Hay Festival. Wonderful place and kind hosts. Highly recommend!

This is a 5 star b&b, one of the best places I’ve ever stayed in. So cosy, comfortable and scrupulously clean and well maintained. The facilities are perfect and well presented. Breakfast was lovely and fresh (we had sour dough toast, filter coffee, fruit and omega seeds) fresh flowers in the bedroom was a lovely touch. Fantastic views. The hosts are amazing and very attentive.

This was a real unexpected pleasure. Dee's place was very simple, but oh, so relaxing. The pile of old Country Living magazines by the bed to read, the lovely warm bedroom with the bathroom opposite, just waiting for me to have a bath. There were lots of little sweet touches, and her breakfast was incredible - I just couldn't believe the amazing spread she put on when the cost of the room was so reasonable. Her hospitality was faultless - giving and responsive while also non-invasive. I slept like a log, and the following morning when I awoke in my own bed I felt a little sad that I couldn't go down the stairs to such a lovely breakfast again!

Lyn and John were fantastic hosts - being generous with lively conversation but also providing options for privacy as desired. I paid a reduced rate due to some regulars being out of town, but they are already providing an excellent value classic bed and breakfast service with homestay personal touches. Lyn offers a full cooked breakfast and cereals to all guests, but was happy to make adjustments to tastes and needs. John also makes a tasty coffee from the espresso machine. I would be glad to return if I am able to find a moment when they are not fully booked!

Great location really clean tidy perfect for seeing the local area! Really friendly hosts would definitely recommend!

Great stay - beautiful house and super hosts

If there were more than five stars to give I’d happily do so! Julia and Tony aren’t your average Hosts, they are super dooper hosts! Our entire stay was absolutely lovely. From the home baked cookies we received on arrival, to the best bed and bedding we’ve ever slept in we can’t rate Stoneleigh highly enough! The house is beautiful and gloriously renovated; we were made to feel part of a very comfortable home. All of Julia and Tony’s recommendations on where to go and places to see, were perfect for us, we brought our road bikes and spent three days exploring the countryside. We ate like kings and enjoyed the whole experience. We’d recommend Stoneleigh and Julia, Tony and Love Dog to everyone!
