Family-friendly holiday rentals in Forest of Dean

Riverside Cottage was perfect for a restful week away before my operation. The scenery was stunning and the location so peaceful. The dogs were happy as they could could come and go as they pleased as the garden was so secure. Everything you need for a break away was supplied and the host was a message away if you had any queries. The hottub was an added bonus and was made the most of throughout the week!! A most enjoyable break, we will definitely be back

Stayed here for 2 nights and it was amazing! Tanya was a great host and we couldn’t have asked for anything more! The home was as it was listed, it was clean, and made the most of the space it had! Already looking to book again!

We enjoyed a 3 night stay at The Stables. It was just as beautiful as the photos suggested and a perfect location for visiting Bath. It was a simple hop onto a bus at the end of the drive and be in the city centre within 15 mins. The quality of the furnishings in The Stables were clear to see & made our stay that much more luxe to help celebrate my 40th birthday. We had great weather and took full advantage of the hot tub to relax after a long day exploring Bath. We had a couple of queries for Nancy during our stay and Nancy was very quick to respond in a very polite & helpful manner. Thanks for a lovely stay Nancy!

This was just the most perfect trip. The house was lovely with stunning views of the lake. Everything was clean and tidy, with everything that’s needed for a few days away. There are many walks you can do from the house and lots of bars/restaurants near by. Would highly recommend and look forward to staying again.

We had such a lovely stay! We arrived to lots of small additional touches, which made the stay very special. The hut was also incredibly comfortable and serene with it’s views overlooking the fields. Perfect for a quiet getaway. Such a lovely host also, would definitely recommend!! x

Beautiful location perfectly clean and comfortable . Slight disturbance due to busy road noise but other than that the perfect place to stay.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Luxury Tree House. The property is even more beautiful than the pictures — spacious, cozy, and immaculately clean. The setting is peaceful and surrounded by nature, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The hot tub was a definite highlight, especially in the evenings. Pam was a fantastic host — very responsive, helpful, and accommodating. Check-in was seamless, and everything we needed was provided. We would highly recommend this unique property and hope to return again!

Thank you for a wonderful stay. So calm and peaceful and just what we needed to relax! We bought our dog who loved roaming around the enclosed garden. Beautiful well equipped cabin and hot tub.

We found the Annex was a great location for us to reach all the areas we wanted and many more for another time. The over all setting is great and inside the Annex is homely and roomy with Laura and family very welcoming, including Otto and Olive. Warren and Rach

We enjoyed our stay very much 😊it was peaceful and characterful and David and Jaqui were great hosts

A really lovely and very well equipped apartment in a beautiful location. Plenty of room and really well presented, we felt very at home. Tetbury itself has lots of great bars and restaurants to enjoy also. Thanks for a lovely stay

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.

I can not recommend John & Rosie's gorgeous loft apartment highly enough. It was absolutely serene. Myself and a couple of friends stayed here on a last minute booking for the Friday & Saturday night as was attending a friend's birthday party in Ledbury which is a 10 minute ride away. The prices for a hotel in Ledbury were extortionate and so we were ever so lucky to find this beautiful place at a more than reasonable price! We had two lovely ponies outside our bedroom window with the most beautiful white peacocks roaming around the grounds and the many, many cute rabbits in the field behind! Not to mention Moss the Dog and Mable the friendly cat. We can't wait to come back! Thank you to Rosie & John for letting us experience your beautiful place.

This is a real gem! We loved our stay, the only problem was it was too short! The house is beautiful, full of character, and spotlessly clean. It had everything we needed and things like milk in the fridge and coffee/sugar were much appreciated. The surrounding area is beautiful, we walked down by the river to a neighboring pub for lunch, and the Cottage of Content pub is even closer, where we had a great dinner. Thanks so much for a great stay!

It was a lovely and relaxing stay. The house has an amazing bathroom And outdoor eating space. We were lucky with the weather and visited Puzzlewood Forest and the art studio next door. Very nice getaway!

saddlery cottage was a beautiful place to stay, lovely peaceful surroundings and very homely comfortable cottage. Sally was a great host and gave us lots of helpful information on the surrounding area and things to do and see. My family had a wonderful stay here and would highly recommend it, we will definitely stay again

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!

We recently stayed at Lake View Cottage and had a truly relaxing experience. The surroundings were absolutely beautiful, with stunning views of the lake and peaceful, natural scenery all around. The cottage had a lovely sense of privacy, making it feel like our own little retreat. The swimming pool was a big hit, especially with the kids—they had a blast! It was the perfect mix of comfort and tranquility. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy quality time with family.

The perfect escape! Farahnaz and Paul are really helpful, very friendly and knowledgeable of the area. The Summerhouse is so secluded and cosy. it really is a proper escape from the "Busy Life" Shakurs on the corner is a great place to eat if you get the chance. Thanks again Farahnaz & Paul, We will be back.

We spent 6 days at Rob’s place with our 3 children. The weather was not our friend but the onsite swimming pool meant we still had a fabulous time. The hot tub was a great addition to the property. The cottage had plenty of room for us all & the spa facilities were fantastic. Great location as well, we had a lovely morning wandering around Cirencester. Rob was super helpful. We used 2 of the recommended places to eat & both were fantastic options. Lovely stay!

Rosalind was a very friendly and communicative host. She offered a range of breakfasts and recommended some lovely local walks. The property was in a fab location with lots of nice walks/pubs nearby.

Lovely spot in friar woods , we did a bit of touring around the sites and even managed an evening in bath with a 20min walk to the train station - Jenny and Richard were both very acclimating and made our weekend lovely with ideas and just a lovely feeling, would love to come back and see more of the local walks etc

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.

What a fantastic stay we had at Kate’s place. She was an incredible host, nothing was too much trouble for her. The pictures really don’t show how gorgeous it truly is & it’s so much larger than the pictures show. We had a wonderful stay and hope to be back in the future xx
