Guesthouse holiday rentals in Forest of Dean District

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!

We were very happy with Fiona’s place. It’s in a historic quaint location and peaceful. The place was as described and had everything we needed. Nice and clean and would definitely stay here again.

We had a fantastic stay! The host was absolutely lovely - responsive, welcoming, and even came out to meet us, which made us feel right at home. The space was clean and full of thoughtful, personal touches that really set it apart. The hot tub was definitely a highlight - perfect for relaxing after a day out. We also really appreciated the EV charger, which made traveling so much easier. The home was very spacious and beautifully maintained, with great attention to detail throughout. Would 100% stay again - highly recommended!

Lovely and Friendly welcoming Host, Sara was very helpful and understanding when we were delayed in our arrival. She settled us in and provided instant local knowledge for dog walks which was invaluable. The cottage is perfect and wished we could have stayed longer as it was exactly as described and Sara provided lovely extra touches to make our stay extra special. We have recommended this cottage to friends and relatives already as we thought so highly of it. 46 Minutes drive to Bath and not silly city centre price! We Loved it, cant say anymore. Thankyou Sara.

We had come to Usk for a friend's weekend of birthday celebrations . We wanted a quiet and relaxing place to lay our heads at night and unwind between events! The Loft was perfect for our needs, an ideal situation in beautiful surroundings.

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

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.

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!

Loved our stay, the place was immaculate, had everything you could need and was really warm, cosy, clean and comfortable. Lovely views and seating outside. Thankyou for making our stay so great

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 wonderful stay in Bledington and Laura was a very friendly and responsive host. She even welcomed us with some milk which I found very thoughtful. The home was comfortable, quiet and a great location for exploring the Cotswolds. I really enjoyed the shower and having laundry available and the baby items and toys were SO convenient for our 15 month old. The bedding and towels felt high quality, but I must note the pillows were very flat and the bed hard. Overall, still a great stay that I recommend to other small families and couples.

Très bon séjour, très confortable, environnement apaisant. Bien centré pour visiter plusieurs secteurs, à proximité de Bath. Un des meilleurs AirBnB que nous avons loué jusqu’à maintenant.

We had a lovely few days exploring the surrounding countryside with our pup. Would stay again if we were in the area. The Loft was private, cosy and peaceful.

We had a lovely stay at April Cottage. The Cottage was spotlessly clean, great facilities and even some surprise snacks. The Hot tub was really warm and a great relief after hiking. Location is great, close to The Pheasant pub where we had dinner and a few drinks. Thank you for a lovely Bank Holiday mini break.

I’ve only given five stars because six weren’t an available option. I’ve written a review before and the Gardener’s Pavilion is as perfect as ever. The hills are still hilly and even though it rained on us when we were walking it was still a fantastic break. In fact getting lost on the hills in the rain and having to double back made me happier than it should have done. Late lunch at the Faun Wine Bar or ham egg and chips at the Nags Head is the perfect way to recover. Then back to TGP for the small selection of King Charles provisions left for us by Charlotte. In fact there was so much I suspect the King delivered them himself. This is the problem asking a stream of consciousness writer to write a review, I do tend to prattle on. In summary, it’s perfect, do yourself a favour and go. Next review I’ll start with that!

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.

Such a lovely, peaceful haven while I was on a course for a few days. Maggie sent such welcoming and helpful information and I was comfortable throughout my stay. Everything was easy the location was perfect for Clifton. Would definitely stay again

Julie and John's cottage is a lovely place to stay. It was tidy and clean and far more spacious than we were expecting. Bromham is an ideal base for trips out to the surrounding areas . The greyhound pub, which serves excellent food is a 2 minute walk. Although we had to cut our trip short by a day due to family reasons, we would highly recommend staying at Julie and John's and would have no hesitation in returning.

Donna’s place is amazing, it has everything and more, she is a wonderful host, she even put up breakfast and a bottle of wine. The place was spotless and modern and more than fully equipped. It was a joy to stay there😀😀😀👍👍👍 well done Donna!

Lovely accommodation in a beautiful setting. The host were really friendly and helpful. Thank you so much! :)
