Cottage vacation rentals in Forest of Dean District

The view from the property was the highlight of our trip. we spent all our time in the egg chairs watching the world go by wonderful location and the hot tub was warmed up for when we got there which was a welcomed treat after our long drive

Lovely stay at this beautiful cottage within Weston super mare. Booked for a birthday celebration and was an excellent choice. Location was brilliant, within walking distance from the pier and beach, as well as a few shops, restaurants and pubs etc. parking also avail on street for free or within a car park- £4 approx for 24 hours which is absolutely fine. Cottage itself was simple yet chic, adding an element of luxury with simplicity. Really lovely decor and amenities. Bed was supper comfy which is important for us. Kitchen was stunning, clean. A huge thank you for the local produce you provided, this was really appreciated and made it that extra special for us. Hot tub was great, situated in the garden and made private with beautiful fig trees and outdoor lights. Was really a special time away. Really great communication from the owners too. Overall could not fault the cottage and would definitely return.

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

I’ve booked it for the weekend for a birthday surprise for my partner and balloons and a banner was put in the room for when we get there. The place was lovely, peaceful and beautiful. Looking forward for booking it again very soon! Highly recommended x Ily

My partner and I stayed at Sarah and Mark’s property for our engagement weekend, and they truly contributed a memorable weekend. The space itself is amazing and well maintained. You are welcomed to a bright and open property that has all the facilities you need to have an amazing stay, from a well fitted kitchen with cookbooks to an open living space with a fire and tv. Bathroom and bedroom have everything you need, even down to robes to make you feel at home. The hot tub area and garden is a peaceful area where you are greeted by nature. The animals around the garden are properly fenced away allowing you to have your dog off lead in the back garden (fully enclosed) but still get to go up to the animals who love to come and say hi to you! You have great privacy from the main house, particularly in the hot tup area which is finished off nicely with a cover should it rain. Overall the space could not have been more perfect, we had no issues and we will look forward to staying again.

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

Great peaceful getaway! Hot tub was fab! The views were beautiful :)

This was our second visit to Elmside and we would 100% recommend anybody to stay here. Lovely and clean, and a hot tub to enjoy. Great location too. We hope to come back for a third visit someday. Thanks Lynda & Gary for being fantastic hosts.

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 really enjoyed our stay at Top Barn. The accommodation was great and had everything we needed. It was clean, comfortable and cozy. The garden had amazing views and was completely secure which was great for our two dogs. We enjoyed watching the sheep and the huge rabbits it the field next door. The accommodation is only a shorty drive from the forest of Dean and there are walks available straight from the property. Check in was easy and Cathy always responded to messages really quickly. We enjoyed the Welsh cakes and honey!

There are SuperHosts and then there’s Pete!! What a star - he likes to chat to newcomers if he can, and we found him full of really useful info. He even managed to get us a table at the local pub, The White Horse. It was packed, but the service and food were excellent. He also recommended a walk up to the Kymin, which was fantastic - what a view. Pete also gave us the most generous welcome basket of goodies we’ve ever had!! All in all, the perfect, peaceful, pad in a great location to get anywhere in the Wye valley, Forest of Dean or wider Monmouthshire. And Pete!

We had a lovely stay at this beautiful place. It was so quiet and peaceful. The property was really clean , well equipped and had a super comfy bed and large shower. There were so many lovely places to visit nearby. The station ( just over a mile away with free parking) was great for a day trip to Bristol. Quiet lanes for cycling and dry safe bike storage area available. Fern responded really quickly to any queries we had.

What an amazing place!! We had a wonderful weekend here - the garden and surroundings are beautiful and peaceful, and the cottage had all the necessary essentials and amenities. The cottage is beautifully finished, and everything was clean and tidy. The underfloor heating meant it was always warm; and there was always hot water and the bathroom/en-suite are luxurious. We had a lot of fun doing activities in the local area, and enjoyed a “Sound of Music” walk to The Boat Inn.

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!

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.

This a lovely cottage with a historic railway story, nestled in a beautiful part of the country surrounded by peace, quiet and nature. The property is very well equipped and has all you need for your stay - everything has been thought of. The local pub (Cottage of Content) serves excellent food and drink and is just 5 min walk down the lane. Excellent local walks all around the area, this is an excellent base for exploring. The host was friendly, responsive and accommodating. We would certainly stay again in figure if back in the area - it’s a big thumbs up from us.

What a wonderful place. Location was beautiful and so peaceful. It was just like coming home everything that was needed was supplied. Yvonne our host was so pleasant and helpful. The fresh cows milk was SOOOOO! GOOD

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!

Our stay at Victoria’s cottage was one that we will reminisce about for a long time - hopefully we will be back soon and will stay much longer! We were so comfortable and felt very much at home, with a dream king bed and beautiful art and textiles decorating the home. Wotton-Under-Edge is a scenic 20-minute walk away for all amenities. Truly a restful Cotswolds experience surrounded by farms and nature.

I would highly recommend the cottage, which is perfect if you’re looking for somewhere in a rural location, but which is easily accessible to all the amenities the Forest of Dean has to offer and near to Monmouth. Miranda welcomed us on arrival and was able to help with any queries we had, she was also available if we had any problems during our stay. We will definitely be returning.

Big thank you to Andrew and Sarah for the amazing little cottage. Perfect for a quiet getaway. They were both there to greet my partner and I, and were there to see us off. Lots of recommendations and info, and a lovely suggested walk starting and ending at the cottage. Lovely hosts, lovely surrounding, lovely cottage. Cant recommended it enough!

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.

We loved the cottage. There are a few challenges that are well communicated by the host due to the age of the house, but in my estimation, this only adds to its charm. the surrounding village and countryside are amazing! Highly recommend breakfast at Henry's.

My wife and I stayed here for two nights over the weekend while attending a nearby wedding, and absolutely loved it. The place itself is beautiful – full of charm, peaceful, and surrounded by stunning countryside. It felt very private and wholesome, like a perfect little retreat. Kirstie was brilliant – extremely responsive, kind, and helpful throughout. You can tell they really care about the space and their guests. We also loved meeting her lovely dogs! Everything was clean, well thought out, and comfortable, with lovely touches that made it feel like a home away from home - thanks for the brownies and breakfast! We’d happily return and would definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a tranquil, characterful place to stay in the area.
