Guesthouse vacation rentals in Forest of Dean District

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!

Our stay was a perfect base for the surrounding areas of hay on wye, Ross on wye and Hereford city centre. Lovely, cosy accommodation. Danny was a lovely dog too, so friendly and welcoming as much as the hosts! Would definitely return with our own dog so they can make friends! Thank you for making a wonderful weekend even better.

Amazing stay! The hut was exactly like the photos and just as described The thoughtful touches Prosecco milk cake hot chocolate and chocolate were lovely and really made us feel at home The hut was well appointed and everything had been well thought through and we did not want for anything The fact the washing up was done for you again added to the experience! The hot tub and view were beautiful and we were so lucky with the weather we made full use of the outdoor space Great recommendations on walks and places to eat! Thank you for a fantastic stay and being an amazing host- you went above and beyond!

I spent a lovely peaceful weekend at Elaines place. The place was spotlessly clean and exactly as described. The location was perfect for walking and visiting Tewsbury. If you follow the instructions Elaine provides you will land at the door, very clear and simple - if you follow 'get directions' button from Air bnb you may not! Elaine was very flexible with checkout. I would certainly return and recommend Elaine's place.

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.

A lovely peaceful 10 days of walking back in Stow staying in a cosy bright space. Loved all the light. The kitchen is well equipped and the generous welcome pack appreciated. Comfortable bed and couch. Natasha is a wonderful friendly host available for anything you might need. She kindly picked us up from the bus and dropped us off at the train. Location great. Big supermarket an easy walk away. Shout out to The Porch, The Hive (great coffee) and Cotswold Baguettes. We accessed many of the walking paths using the buses. If you need good area walking maps they are available from the info centre in Moreton. Hope to return. Highly recommended. Thank you for a great stay, Natasha.

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

The most perfect little escape, couldn't fault a single thing and would love to return some day! Literally everything we needed it to be and more. Incredible decor, beautiful surroundings and peaceful. Sophie was so welcoming and super easy to communicate with. Really couldn't fault a single thing.

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

What a lovely place to stay. Simon met us on arrival and showed us around also giving us some tips on the local area with Blenheim Palace only an hour away and also Diddly Squat is 30 minutes or so away but was mobbed. Very unexpected welcoming pack of milk, biscuits and croissants were in our accommodation and the bed was so big and comfortable that we slept very well. All in all beautiful place with everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Would recommend and if we were back this way would definitely stay here again. Gary & Michelle

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.

Excellent as ever, many thanks!

We had a great stay — the place was beautifully presented, clean, and very comfortable. One of the highlights was the deep bath, which was perfect for relaxing after a long day. Phip and John were great hosts, and everything was exactly as described. Would definitely recommend!

Lovely private studio in a quiet area, walking distance to the village and the beautiful canals. Basic equipment to cook, perfect for a short stay to visit the area and Bath.

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 booked The Stables for a couple of nights, including for it to be used as the bridal getting ready space on the morning of our recent wedding, as it is only 10 mins from Priston Mill. It was absolutely perfect and Nancy went above and beyond to help make it work for us including making space on the drive of the main house to allow wedding suppliers to park. The space was light and bright and surrounded by a gorgeous garden and it felt really private and peaceful. It was very well equipped with everything you’d need and actually seemed a larger space in person than in the pictures! Special thanks go to Nancy for making it extra special for our wedding and including some lovely bubbly in the fridge which was a really thoughtful touch.

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.

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

A lovely peaceful place to stay. Great location, surrounded by nature, including friendly sheep! Host spent time with us to explain the location, property and sheep! The weather was amazing, rather hot but fan provided. Lovely touches including essentials in the fridge. Would highly recommend x

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