Guesthouse holiday rentals in Forest of Dean

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 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 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!

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.

We really enjoyed a couple of nights at this cosy, clean space. Communication was great and we were wermly welcomed and shown around in arrival. The hot tub and sunny decking area made a lovely weekend even better! Thank you!

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.

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 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 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.

We had a lovely time at Robin’s Nest for our first wedding anniversary. It was so clean and tidy and had loads of amenities to make the stay super easy. Sue is a very thoughtful host and this shows around the place as well as when you meet! Everything is clearly labelled and everything you need is there - including a binder with instructions, as well as lots of local recommendations. It’s also really quiet and very easy to get a good nights sleep, especially in such a comfy bed! Had a lovely time in Bath and would definitely recommend this as a place to base yourselves.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

Excellent as ever, many thanks!

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.

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.
