Cottage holiday rentals in Forest of Dean

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.

Had a lovely birthday weekend away at Humbug Barn! Amanda was a wonderful host—so welcoming and helpful. The barn itself was beautiful and perfectly located near the Forest of Dean. The views from the hot tub were absolutely stunning. I’d definitely recommend it! xx

We had a lovely stay at Meng’s place. The garden was perfect, we enjoyed especially having breakfast looking down the valley. The place was immaculate, very well equipped with all the necessary amenities. Our dog loved it too. St Anthony’s well is just a few steps, couldn’t have asked for a better location. Meng’s hospitality was superb. We will definitely be back!

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.

Peaceful and beautiful rural setting … no out door space to sit. Great to have the use of a hot tub with a lovely view … overall a lovely place to stay

We had a great stay and felt very welcome. Lovely comfortable house and nice garden space including the hot tub. Local pub had good food and vegi options (short walk from house). Easy drive to local attractions. Thanks for making our stay so relaxing and enjoyable.

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.

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!

The Hare Barn was absolutely amazing and Jackie was a fantastic host. She made us feel very welcome, and breakfast was a lovely surprise. The barn had beautiful attention to detail and great care has been taken to make it so beautiful. It felt very warm and homely!! The paddock seating area is a lovely bonus with stunning uninterrupted views and gorgeous sunsets!! Jackie was very kind and warm and made us feel right at home from the moment we met (and games us great tips about places to visit!). Throughout she was very quick to respond to any queries we had. We can't recommend her place highly enough. it's a treat if you are looking to find a place to relax a d unwind or for trips into other areas of the Cotswolds

The cottage was beautiful, we had a wonderful stay to celebrate a 70th birthday! Cosy, clean and quiet, with a beautiful garden and lots of thoughtful touches. Also handy to have a travel cot, stair gate and kids cutlery for our toddler. Great location in a beautiful village, and easy to drive to the lovely surrounding towns. Victoria was a fantastic host, great communication and everything was very straightforward. We hope to return and would highly recommend!

Valerie’s cottage is very peaceful and is the perfect place to stay while visiting the Cotswolds. The Old House Barn is very clean and had all the amenities you will need. Valerie provided us great recommendations for places to visit and some great restaurants. She is also quick to respond to any messages. I definitely give her and The Old House Barn 5 stars! We enjoyed our stay and hope to visit again in the future!

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!

Peaceful cottage in a beautiful location with stunning views. We had a wonderful stay here and Kerry was always very helpful and responsive! Thank you Kerry! Just one thing to note for more nervous drivers is that the road leading up to the property is very narrow with some steep parts which sometimes require some maneuvering if there is an oncoming vehicle! But it is very doable and once you reach the property it is lovely. Thank you for our stay!

Lovely cottage, big bonus is electric car charging and dog friendly. Comfy beds, real fire place and good board games. We had a lovely time

We had such a lovely stay at The Post House it was exactly as described. It’s a charming Cotswold home with a gorgeous interior design with extra thoughtful little touches everywhere: cozy blankets in the lounge, extra towels ready for the sauna, deliciously scented diffusers that made the whole house smell amazing, and even bubble bath in the bathroom for relaxing soaks. It truly felt like a home away from home, but with all the luxury of a boutique hotel and spa. Waking up to birdsong and a beautiful view over the fields was so nice. Oh, and bonus there’s a fab pub just across the road with super friendly staff and seriously tasty food. If you’re not in the mood to cook, it’s an absolute must-visit, especially the burger! 😋 Thank you Lisa for being such a great host we will be back when we visit the Cotswold again.

Great location. Clean home and amenities. Great host! What more can you ask for! we will be back the next time we are in the Forest of Dean. Thank you Ann for making our stay wonderful!!!

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!

Amazing trip. Lovely place with amazing grounds!

We loved our stay at Andrew and Sarah’s cosy cottage . It is immaculate and furnished to perfection. The little touches of goodies were greatly received.Andrew was very helpful in providing information of some stunning places to visit. We will definitely hope to come back and we’re sorry to be leaving. We would recommend 100%.

Rick and Anne were fantastic hosts. I received lots of recommendations tailored to my profile and they were extremely welcoming. The place was as described and looked better than the photos. Would highly recommend to other visitors. Thanks again!

Had a lovely stay here. We were in the area for a wedding at the local Clearwell Castle and this place perfectly suited our needs. Helen was able to provide us with an iron and ironing board which was very helpful. The cottage is lovely and quiet and had everything we needed. Thanks Helen.

Fantastic little place in a great location. Very clean and had everything we needed. The host was very helpful and polite. This place was a very quiet and peaceful. Perfect setting to go and explore. Had a great time thank you.

Ann was fantastic from the start, always replying straight away to messages. Her place was clean, tidy, stocked with every thing we needed. It was beautiful and a true cottage staycation. Thank you Ann for your hospitality. Highly recommend!!
