Cottage holiday rentals in Forest of Dean

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!

This place is so lovely! Host Meng was so kind, even putting some beautiful flowers in the cottage for my birthday ❤️ the view is spectacular, it's one of the most peaceful places I've been. Hot tub is great fun, the kitchen has got everything you need including washing up liquid and dishwasher tablets. The bed was comfy, plug sockets everywhere you'd want them and usb sockets. It was great to see how dog friendly the place is with throws for the couch, fenced garden and fixed stairs gates. I highly advise popping into Jolter Press Cider bar/shop and getting some food from the local Chinese takeaway. Also a walk to St Anthony's Well, there's some step incline/declines on the walk there but it's beautiful and you have to take a dip! We also went to the Three Choirs Vineyard that was beautiful and good fun too. I would definitely come back and I think it would be equally beautiful in any season, our summer trip was fantastic but I'd love to see it in autumn or winter too.

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

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!

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

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

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!

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!

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 stayed at the Cattle Byre for our first wedding anniversary - and first trip away with our puppy, Winston, too! The property was finished to a very high standard and had everything we needed for our stay; it felt like a home away from home. The welcome biscuits and bottle of bubbles was a special touch too! Gorgeous location, very peaceful and perfect for a relaxed break away. We’ll definitely be back!

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!

Jane's cottage was beautifully located in a private spot, surrounded by gardens and fields. The cottage is very quaint and very well appointed with everything you need for your stay. We enjoyed walking around the gardens, field, stream and weir and spotted a lot of wildlife en route. We couldn't have asked for more.

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%.

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.

Fabulous location. Loved the quirkiness of the space and all the interesting "decorations".. Harry Potter fans will be intrigued, I know we were.. Great being so close to pubs, restaurants and cafes.

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.

Had the most lovely stay. Such a special place and village. We met many kind people, ate incredible food, and enjoyed every minute soaking up the scenery. Anne couldn’t have been more kind and considerate. Would recommend the bakery to anyone!
