Pet-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!

Lovely, homely cottage. We felt right at home and had a cup of tea in the sun on the outside table in chairs in an inner courtyard. There were lots of extras like eggs, homemade bread , butter and milk which was really handy. There were lots cottage was clean and we had everything we needed for 4 days. Would highly recommend for a quiet stay in the Cotswolds.

Beech Barn was the perfect little escape for the weekend. I could only wish we had longer to explore the fantastic area. A very peaceful and lovely barn conversion in an ideal location to explore from the back door. We will definitely be heading back

A little piece of heaven. Just perfect for a few days of R&R. Although, the amount of walking we did there wasn’t much rest. The views from the balcony are something else, we somehow managed to lose 3 hrs sat there on our first afternoon. The location is perfect for getting on to the A40 and to further afield. We did not take advantage of the pool or saunas (which, now home feels like it was a wasted opportunity). The pool area is beautiful, and can see in the depths of summer being a real treat. From the booking Ruth was so helpful in giving us recommendations for where to visit and eat. Take the advice when it comes to The Angel Bakery in Abergavenny! It is out of this world. We throughly enjoyed our stay at the pavilion and hope to visit again.

We had such a lovely stay. It’s super quiet and relaxing. just what we were looking for. The place was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. You can head straight out for a beautiful walk from the door, which was a big bonus! Our dog felt right at home too, which made it even better for us. The host was fantastic, really friendly and full of great local tips. We ended up trying two of the places they recommended to eat and both were great. Honestly, we didn’t want to leave and would have stayed longer if it was available!

One of the best stays we’ve ever had- and we had many!!!!

Absolutely loved our stay, such a beautiful peaceful place. Jamie is a super friendly person, and made us feel so welcome. So much wildlife as well, from a kingfisher to the regular grey wagtails and stunning setting, the vineyards and walk around the house was lovely. Couldn’t recommend this place enough.

A lovely long weekend in beautiful surroundings. We booked Helen’s place as a base for engagement celebrations. We loved having access to the surrounding forest and a large garden for our Grandchildren. Comfortable bedrooms and large living areas for two families. The house has everything you need and the kitchen is very well equipped. We saw wild boar in the forest across the road at dusk - lovely surprise! Our Grandson loved toddling down to the brook behind the house and we enjoyed the stickman trail from the park. We are looking forward to returning when the grandchildren are not dependent on buggy’s so we can access the cycle trails and go a bit further. We had a lovely meal at The Dog and Muffler Inn with family. Too short a stay but very enjoyable and comfortable.

Ann's place is incredible- stayed for two nights and there is everything you could possibly need or anticipate in the house. We had a great time - the pool and hot tub were very clean and the house was perfect! Ann was extremely responsive and helpful. Would absolutely book again!

What an amazing little getaway! Had so much fun paddling and swimming in the lake, was amazing to have a full kitchen attached to the dome. The hottub was spotless and tucked away. Didn't find time to explore the farm but looked like lots of walking opportunities around. A good excuse to come back! Thanks for a great stay.

Me and my partner went with the dog, we had one of the best times in this spot, really relaxing to be at the pod and then travelling around the villages was lots of fun. Was always nice to come back to the lovely pod! The kitchen had everything you needed as well

We had a great stay at the barn, celebrating a big birthday. There were 6 adults staying and we were all extremely comfortable. Mike and Joan were very hospitable, generous and responsive. The barn is as fabulous as the photos suggest. The views are amazing. The pool is wonderful. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay. We very much hope to return.

Beautiful home! Absolutely loved staying here. The grounds were so gorgeous and the property was 5 star hotel standard. It’s not often that you stay somewhere that the beds are comfier than your own and these were. They had thought of every little detail. Couldn’t recommend more.

We booked here as two couples and had an amazing stay. Jacqui met us when we arrived and was very friendly and showed us what we needed to know. Everything was spotless and it is a very peaceful area. The swimming pool is fabulous and very well kept. The kitchen has everything you need. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and will be recommending to friends and family.

From the moment we arrived at Lower Mill Estates we were in awe of how picturesque and serene the property was. Everything about this listing was as advertised and more. The host Victoria was extremely responsive and helpful when I had questions leading up to our trip. I was able to reach out with questions during our trip as well, with a fast response. Oakleigh cottage is situated next to a giant willow tree with surrounding gardens, and has the quintessential Cotswolds feel to it. I let Victoria know we were there to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. Upon arrival to the cottage, we found the cottage filled with birthday decor and a special gift for her! We were so surprised! It was such a nice touch to our stay. Our family loved swimming in the pools, kayaking, paddle boarding, and taking walks to the local restaurants. It was a one of a kind vacation that we’ll always remember. Thank you for making our stay so awesome! We hope to be back again one day!

Very welcoming host, met us right on time and gave us a tour of the cottage! Also a lovely touch that Hillary left a few farm eggs for us so we had them for breakfast! Good location, all amenities were as described, a few shops near by (5-10 mins drive) so we had a good holiday just switching off for a few days! A few recommendations for pubs as well - we picked the Foxham which we really liked! The only improvement I’d say would be that it would be good to have an option of a blind/curtain for the front door/window.

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!

We had a fantastic stay! The view is incredible and the place was fabulous! The bbq and pizza oven were the highlight of the weekend! James was super responsive and helped with any questions we had. A great host! Blue the dog was a great companion! Would stay again :) Thanks James!

Absolutely stunning place , couldn’t have been any nicer

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!

The Piggery looked lovely from the photo’s and description and seemed to be everything that myself my husband and two small dogs needed for a weekend away from it all, The Piggery did not disappoint! In fact it exceeded our expectations on every level. Janet was super friendly and sent details ahead or our stay. Her correspondence was warm and friendly. When we arrived we could quickly tell that we had made the right decision in booking this sweet home! It has been sympathetically restored with charming decor and had absolutely everything that we needed. The bed was super comfy, the best nights sleep ever! The Piggery is located on an amazing property with the owner living next door but we had complete privacy. The hot tub was a bonus and much used. The location was peaceful 🤩 and ultra charming, we would highly recommend this cottage and will definitely visit again Thank You Janet what a wonderful sanctuary you have created and The piggery was simply perfect 🤩

A lovely place, we had to cut our stay short by 3 nights due to unforeseen circumstances. I messaged Lorraine on Saturday to let her know just in case she wanted to open up the dates for other people (I knew we wouldn’t get any refund as it was our fault that we had to leave early), its now Tuesday and I still haven’t received any response from Lorraine which I thought was disappointing. A lovely place to stay however.

I can not recommend John & Rosie's gorgeous loft apartment highly enough. It was absolutely serene. Myself and a couple of friends stayed here on a last minute booking for the Friday & Saturday night as was attending a friend's birthday party in Ledbury which is a 10 minute ride away. The prices for a hotel in Ledbury were extortionate and so we were ever so lucky to find this beautiful place at a more than reasonable price! We had two lovely ponies outside our bedroom window with the most beautiful white peacocks roaming around the grounds and the many, many cute rabbits in the field behind! Not to mention Moss the Dog and Mable the friendly cat. We can't wait to come back! Thank you to Rosie & John for letting us experience your beautiful place.

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!
