Cottage holiday rentals in Puzzle Wood

Amazing place to stay! Clean, comfortable and quirky decor. The hot tub, bbq and egg chairs a luxury touch outside, and the views are truly magnificent. The bird feeder outside the bedroom allows you to relax in bed whilst watching the birds doing their thing, even had a wood pecker visit a few times. Highly recommend for a chilled break. I’d recommend arriving stocked with any food and drink you’ll need so you don’t have to leave!

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 the Laundry Barn, the views were amazing, the place was very cosy and the hot tub was a lovely addition. Would definitely recommend staying here, and we will be back!

What a wonderful time we had on our honeymoon. Sarah was an incredible host and we had such a warm welcome. Once checked in Sarah was available via text but left us to enjoy our time. The house was really clean and beautifully decorated, it has everything we needed and we were able to cook in the lovely kitchen. There was lots to do around the area including national trusts and plenty of dog walks. The garden and hot tub were bliss and we really felt as though we were on a luxury break. The bedrooms and bathrooms were roomy and very comfortable, and the brightness in the front room and kitchen was so beautiful. We would absolutely return and loved meeting Sarah, would highly recommend this air b&b. It was perfect in every way!

Amazing stay at the Yarlington Dairy. The cottage was stunning and had everything you needed. The views were magnificent and the cider was also lush! Laura was a wonderful host, super friendly and very responsive. Thank you for a great stay celebrating our 1st wedding anniversary! 🤩 x

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

lovely location, very close to the station. the hot tube was great too

Incredible place! We had a lovely couple of nights here. The house is full of character and has everything you need and the enclosed garden was great for our young daughter and dogs. Very peaceful location so sitting in the hot tub in the evenings was very relaxing. The added bonus of access to the river at the bottom of the garden was great! Will checked us in and gave us some suggestions of local walks and things to do which was ideal. Would highly recommend!!

Hope Cottage is amazing. The location is wonderful, the house itself has everything you need and makes you feel like you're staying in a proper British cottage. Sarah is an amazing host: she answered any questions I had very quickly and was just in general very kind. One thing to note: the house isn't built for tall people. I'm 181 cm tall (about 5'11) and I had to bend down a bit whilst going through doorways or using the shower. It didn't really bother me, but it's just something to be aware of. Whether you want a quiet retreat or a homebase to explore the area, this is an amazing place to do so!

There are SuperHosts and then there’s Pete!! What a star - he likes to chat to newcomers if he can, and we found him full of really useful info. He even managed to get us a table at the local pub, The White Horse. It was packed, but the service and food were excellent. He also recommended a walk up to the Kymin, which was fantastic - what a view. Pete also gave us the most generous welcome basket of goodies we’ve ever had!! All in all, the perfect, peaceful, pad in a great location to get anywhere in the Wye valley, Forest of Dean or wider Monmouthshire. And Pete!

Kevin was a terrific host. The gardens of the house were excellent and made for a relaxing stay. The house was very charming and we enjoyed cooking for each other and playing games.

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!

We had a wonderful stay (it was my second visit) and the property was perfect for my elderly mother. It's all on one level with spacious rooms and an accessible wet room. The property is very well equipped so it's easy to self cater if you want to. The house is very attractive inside and out and in a perfect setting with beautiful views. It's very peaceful and rural but with plenty of places to visit if you take a short drive and lovely local walks.

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!

We had a fantastic stay! The host was very friendly and welcoming, and gave us some great advice on local places to visit and eat—really helpful in making the most of our trip. The house itself was spacious, comfy, and perfect for our young family (plus our dog!). The garden was private and secure, which gave us real peace of mind with both our daughter and the dog able to play safely. The beautiful and peaceful surroundings of the house and garden made it an especially relaxing place to unwind. The kitchen was well-equipped and thoughtfully stocked, and having easy parking and clear directions made everything smooth from the start. All in all, it was an ideal place to stay, and we’d definitely love to come back! Highly recommended.

Beautiful Cottage in a picturesque location. The cottage was like home from home, everything you needed was there. The kitchen had everything you needed including a dishwasher (which we did not need but nice to have) The bed was very comfortable . Washing machine in garage which was good to have the use of. Very peaceful location. Susannah was very helpful and always quick to answer any messages . Was very sad to leave today as Symonds Yat Rock is absolutely beautiful. Will definitely be back if Susannah will have us . Thank you so much

The Stables was the perfect destination for a relaxing holiday away from the city. Yvonne was an excellent host who gave us some good recommendations for restaurants and left us some tasty scones as a welcome gift. The view from the place is stunning and we enjoyed eating outside watching the birds. The place was comfortable, the shower was hot and had good pressure and the kitchen had everything we needed. I'd thoroughly recommend this place and will hopefully come again in the future.

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!

Had the perfect get a way and much needed peace and relaxation. This was absolutely perfect!! Beautiful surroundings, Andrew and Sarah were absolutely lovely, so friendly and helpful. We had everything we needed and it was super clean. The little added extras were so sweet, especially catering to my allergies. Overall will definitely come back!

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.

Julie was a great host. The property was fantastic in a great location within walking distance of local amenities. The property was clean and tidy. The views from the balcony were amazing. We will definitely be returning in the future.

Great cottage, all clean. Didn’t like the stairs, but managed. Near everything. Would have liked a bolt on the alley door but I could see it was a shared access for the bins. An extra touch would have been a box of fancy biscuits or milk in the fridge on arrival (had in other places).
