Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Forest of Dean District

We have just had the most incredible stay at Nichola’s place for my sister’s hen do. From the moment we arrived, she was warm and welcoming and met us to show us around. She also came to say bye at the end of our stay and asked how we got on which was lovely. The house itself is amazing and somehow exceeded our expectations- the photos look brilliant but in person it is stunning! Would definitely recommend!

A little gem! A perfect escape in every way. Fantastic hosts too

Beautiful property - like something out of grand designs! Lovely, peaceful spot in the middle of the countryside with a great local pub within walking distance.

A stunning converted barn in a beautiful tranquil location. Spotlessly clean and well thought out. A lot to do on the doorstep for couples and families. Perfect place for a lovely country break. We were aware when we went (from other reviews) that there aren’t doors on the upstairs bedrooms. There’s a privacy screen beside the smaller room and a heavy curtain in the doorway of the larger bedroom. This didn’t concern us but is a quirk that some might not be so sure of.

Great host. very helpful and answered very quickly. fantastic house which was very clean and functional.

A perfect spot with amazing views. Close to the main road and motorways- not that you’d ever know. The bathroom was spotless and the kitchen was supplied with all the usual equipment and needs. A lovely surprise to get so many teas and coffees - plus a coffee maker with pods. The seating area was comfortable with a large television. We were in the area for an 80th birthday celebration weekend. I wish we could have stayed longer. I bumped into Christopher and had a friendly chat. We’d definitely come again if the need arose.

The Game Larders was perfect for us (a couple with a well-behaved dog). The house and grounds are genuinely spectacular. There is a wonderful sense of history around you, and it was interesting to see how such a property and land are being put to work in the form of a modern vineyard and wine label. Jamie was a great host. He recommended lots of interesting places to eat in the local area, and answered any questions we had. The proprty was comfortable (especially the huge super-king bed with quality bedding), and had a homely feel. Our dog enjoyed being able to chase a ball in the field opposite the house (we were lucky that the sheep weren't in the field while we were there). The house is situated in a quiet spot, 10-15 minutes away from Ross, and within easy reach of a huge range of interesting places to see. We only had two days so we didn't really scratch the surface. We will try to return soon, and when we do, we will certainly consider staying at the Game Larders once again.

The cottage is beautiful, its in a great place, near to local attractions, with lots of peaceful walks through the forest. Alison was communitive and quick to respond to queries. Highly recommend Alison and her gorgeous cottage.

We had a lovely long weekend with our 2 grandchildren. Lots of family friendly activities close to hand. A good selection of evening venues to enjoy too.

Helen's flat is very spacious, beautifully decorated and furnished and the kitchen table has a stunning view over Hereford (many games of cribbage played with glasses of wine!). The kitchen has everything needed to produce a meal and Helen kindly left milk, breakfast goods etc in the fridge. The bed was very comfortable, with extra linen if you needed. The HUGE shower was a real luxury. The relaxing spacious sitting room has a woodburner stove if needed (sadly we could not justify lighting it in June 😆). This is a perfect base for travelling around the beautiful surrounding areas, or to just chill out and relax (WiFi very good). 10/10 🤗

We had a wonderful two nights at Louise's and would have stayed longer had the apartment been free. Everything about the apartment was elegant, the street , the windows, height of ceiling, quality of the furnitiure, fixtures and fittings. The kitchen was have everything we needed. Check in and Check out was very simple using key box. The appartment is no more than 10mins from centre. There is no parking in the street but the Bath Cricket Club carpark was only 15mins away, we left our car there for all our stay, fees paid in advance.

Absolutely gorgeous little place. I’d even say better in real life than the pictures! Bed was super comfortable and I slept really well. My only regret is that I didn’t have longer to spend there! The parking space is also a huge bonus. Thank you for your hospitality.

I was a guest at a wedding at Twyning Park and found Terry’s accommodation to be stellar and perfectly suited to my needs for my weekend stay. Terry was super accommodating of any requests and I’d highly recommend his place. Thanks again!

Absolutely idyllic space. Views superb. Access to double bed is a ladder so might not suit everyone. We loved it.

Beautiful country side surroundings, especially loved the horses in the fields around the cabin.

Oana and Stefan are such generous hosts and could not have been more welcoming! All possible needs for a comfortable stay were anticipated and met. The studio is delightful and it was a great pleasure to live there for a couple of days. Not, alas, long enough to make much impact on the wealth of books and snacks provided; maybe next time ...

Was a great check in with John who gave clear instructions and a brief intro to the apartment. It’s an historic building nestled in a beautiful secluded spot but immediately accessible to Stroud including a walkable supermarket. We were treated to a brass band on Sunday morning from the park bandstand opposite! Comfortable and cosy interior perfect for our short stay. John was the perfect gentleman and host

Victoria's property is exquisitely decorated and furnished throughout. The location is perfect for a short stroll into the town centre and access to the disused railway walking trail opposite. The living room is large and very light and airy with a high ceiling. Although at first floor level, the back door opens out onto a lovely enclosed garden. Ideal for our dog. Above all, we were very surprised as to how peaceful and quiet the location was. Thoroughly recommend it, couldn't have wished for any more, Victoria had thought of everything.

A great place to stay to explore Upton and the surrounding areas. Apartment is great in a central location right in town, easy walk to anywhere in Upton. Carola and Rick were great hosts, good clear instructions and helpful information. Apartment was spotless (thank you to their housekeeper Emma), and would highly recommended both the Regency Apartment and Carola and Rick as hosts.

Second time we have stayed here because we just love it so much! This time we had time to go for a nice walk in the woods which isn’t far at all! We always feel right at home and always so comfortable with everything we need!

We had a great stay at this lovely apartment. It’s stylishly decorated, well-equipped, and just a short walk from the centre of town. The cot and high chair provided were perfect for our 1.5-year-old, and everything was very comfortable and easy. Check-in instructions were clear and straightforward. Parking outside the apartment was full when we arrived on Friday evening, which made unloading a little tricky, but there was space on Sunday when we left so it may just have been the timing. Overall, a really nice base for our weekend and we’d definitely recommend it!

We had the most wonderful stay with Mags. The house is stunning, surrounded by the most beautiful landscaped gardens. It was lovely to wake up to the birdsong in the morning. The property itself is cosy, comfortable and spotlessly clean. We slept great and the shower is excellent! Lastly, Mags was the cherry on top. She was kind, attentive and went the extra mile to make us feel welcome, albeit we only stayed for one night. One of the best Air BnBs we’ve stayed in - we hope we can find an excuse to come back again. Brava!

Beautiful accommodation and the design and styling is outstanding! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The area is beautiful, with lovely pubs, cafes and bakery close-by. Sally was so welcoming and helpful. Highly recommend!

Great base for exploring the area, very peaceful, clean and had everything we needed. Great recommendation from Kevin about where to eat. Will definitely stay again. Thanks so much for your quick responses while we were there regarding places to eat out.
