Guest house holiday rentals in Forest of Dean

We spent several days at Julia’s Lodge and cannot speak highly enough of her delightful conversion. It was spacious and comfortable with beautiful decor and well chosen furniture. The kitchen was well equipped with added extras like tea/coffee/condiments/olive oil and lovely touches like a fresh posy of roses from the garden, dish of chocolates and a bottle of wine in the fridge! There were even some toiletries in the bathroom. Julia was a most helpful, accommodating host and fully deserves her ’Superhost’ title. Thank you so much for a lovely stay!

We had a wonderful stay at Ian and Christine’s self contained outhouse. The place was very easy to find and we were met upon arrival by both of them. They were warm and friendly from the get go. Their dog Danny was playful and adorable. The place had everything we needed and everything was spotlessly clean. It was incredibly quiet there, so we didn’t hear a peep. We went to Hay on Wye for the festivals which was only a 20mins drive and the Oxford street car park only cost £4 for the entire day. I’d highly recommend this place, especially if you’re visiting Hay or any of the surrounding areas.

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

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

The studio was the perfect little getaway place for me and my family. We immediately felt at home, the space was very peaceful, spotless, tidy and it had everything we needed to cook full meals and be cozy! Elaine and her family are lovely. They were friendly and welcoming of us and also respected our privacy while we enjoyed our holiday at their property. If you have a car, Bushley is the perfect starting point to explore the Cotswolds and Malvern Hills National Park. We highly recommend Elaine's Studio and if we have the chance we'll definitely be back. 😊 Extra points for the cute dogs and puppy!

Great location and great host.

Absolutely brilliant, above and beyond any other airbnb i have previously visited. Every small thing had been considered and we were never left needing anything. The location was a short walk to the town and the view from the house was stunning. Trudy was incredibly friendly and helpful and offered some great recommendations. We wish we could’ve stayed longer! We’d highly recommend here

We had a really nice stay at the loft ! Basic amenities to make your own meals . Beautiful surroundings & peaceful area. We loved the sunsets & walks ! Flexible check out hours was a bonus . 👌 Thank you so much x

Delightful little cottage close to town. Even has its own little patio in the back. Comfortable double bed with fluffy pillows. Natasha lives right next door so, if you need anything, she or Duncan are right there. We were welcomed with fresh sourdough bread, bread and a bottle of a sparkling elderflower beverage. Perfect after our train trip from Southampton. She even met our train! The cottage is beautifully decorated and has every amenity you could ask for. The icing on the cake (for me-a cat lover) was Monte, the Ragdoll cat who resides next door!

Excellent accommodation and location, we had a very pleasant stay. Hosts were very friendly and approachable, Chestnut Barn was very well layout, charming and homely. The bottle of wine, Bath Soft Cheese, and the breakfast Crossants were lovely and greatly appreciated. We visited Bath, Bristol and went to the Bath soft cheese farm for lunch. All very enjoyable, and well worth seeing, met up with family at local pub, and had an excellent stay. We look forward to visiting again. Many thanks Colin and Julie xx

wish I could of stayed longer , just to sit with the dogs 🤎🤎 🙂🙂. the birdsong this morning was beautiful 💚 . a great place to stay ! Llanwit Major is lovely with great history & independent shops , and the walk to the beach & Cafe too 🌊🩵 second time we've gone to an event St Illtud's Church looking forward to the next event now. Had an amazing meal at The Swan Inn last night

A wonderful little place - perfect for our last minute escape! We only booked on the morning of our stay, and Kathy was very prompt and helpful at such short notice.

Gorgeous home! We loved our anniversary stay at The Annexe. It’s a beautiful property with country views and the hosts are super friendly. Would absolutely recommend staying here, couldn’t fault it. We hope to stay again in the future!

We booked the annex for a small family gathering as we were going to the nearby NEC for the Gardeners’ World show and so the setting seemed the perfect place with its wonderful garden backdrop. Chris met us at check in and gave us the grand tour and it didn’t disappoint — a truly beautiful space filled with love and care and fantastic plants of all shapes and sizes. The annex itself was wonderful too, ideal for us to cook food each night and make breakfast, and relax on the sofa and catch up. The beds were all super comfortable and the bathroom easily suited us for our needs. A high end finish throughout made our family stay a really enjoyable weekend reunion.

I am a regular guest and stay here whenever I am working in the local area. The accommodation is always spotlessly clean and very, very comfortable. The location is so peaceful and rural with beautiful gardens overlooking meadows. Penny & Simon are very friendly and helpful hosts and always leave some tasty welcome treats for me to enjoy - so thoughtful! I look forward to returning again soon x

We had a fantastic stay at the Studio. Lou & Chris were very friendly and welcoming, nothing was too much trouble. The Studio was very well equipped, a beautiful modern design. Would definitely recommend the Studio to family and friends.

Such a beautiful lodge, great views, super cozy. Pool and hot tub are the highlights. Hosts were super responsive and very accommodating when it came to pool time usage.

Fabulous place to stay. Easy to reach by train and easy to reach wonderful walking - we had a lovely time, if exhausted by the hills! The place was just as described and very peaceful and relaxing - WiFi was fine for us but is still patchy if you need fast broadband.

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!

Great communication beforehand so we knew exactly what to expect. Good directions on the listing so it was easy find. As we are new to staying at Airbnb’s we were unsure what to expect, so our questions were answered very promptly. We received a warm welcome upon arrival. The accommodation was clean and tidy, everything provided, so all we needed was our own clothes and food. On the whole we really enjoyed our stay there and would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to stay in the Cotswolds.

Excellent as ever, many thanks!

Sara's place was cozy, roomy, and in a beautiful location. Sara was warm and helpful. She even offered to drive us to the local pub. We highly recommend this BnB.

Lovely place and ideal for a two night stay for two of us . Amazingly comfy bed and lovely shower room! Mark kindly gave us a lift to a local wedding venue to collect our car the morning after a wedding we’d attended in return for a small donation to a local hospice , which was really kind of him.

Stayed at Karen‘s for about a week at first was dubious about the sofa bed however the sofa bed was extremely comfortable the place was well equipped and have everything there so I could function. I would stop at Karen’s again.
