Vacation rentals with lake access in Forest of Dean District

Our stay at the barn was wonderful. The home is spotless and has everything we needed. Beautiful views from the garden and lovely neighbours with an equally lovely dog! Sally is a fab host who came and introduced herself and provided lots of info on the area and local recommendations. Would recommend to anyone seeking a rural getaway in a beautiful location. Thank you Sally. X

An absolutely beautiful Airbnb with such a serene and calm atmosphere. The Airbnb being right on the lake was the highlight. The area is gated and secured too. It's worth noting that two of the single beds are led upstairs in the bunk bed room, so was ideal for children, maybe not so much adults. Otherwise, it was a smooth stay & the welcome treats were humbly welcomed. Will definitely be coming back & recommending!

Will & Amanda go above and beyond to make their guests stay wonderful. Check in was so easy with very detailed communication. They provided a lovely welcome book with info on the area, what’s to do, places to visit etc . The house was immaculate and very comfortable with everything you needed. The surroundings were super tranquil and just the perfect spot to relax with family. It was so lovely to simply sit and watch the wildlife outside and activity on the lake ❤️ Highly recommend for anyone wanting a relaxing getaway from a normally fast paced life. Thank you so much Will & Amanda…we will definitely be returning x

WOW! WOW! WOW! Fabulous place, very clean, very tidy, lots of light, perfect weather, lovely decking area, lovely to watch watersports, very peaceful, comfortable beds with clean linen, good size bedrooms and bathrooms. Lovely gesture from the owners leaving us some milk, coffee, tea and pizzas! We will be back, you won't be disappointed, book your stay and you will walk into this place and jaw dropping, it's an amazing place! Thank you Andy and Anne, we've had an amazing time!

We had an excellent stay at the rainbow lodge. It was even better than we expected! the lodge was immaculate, spacious and had stunning views of the lake. We also utilized the on site play park and took walks around the lake. We stayed as 2 couples with 2 young children and had plenty of space and everything we needed.

The hose was absolutely gorgeous, we were a group of work colleagues there to compete in a triathlon nearby and we were delighted with only being 6minutes away especially as it was a very early start. Everyone was super happy with the location and the property so thanks

Great location, just steps away from the lake. The jetty was right by the back door to get on to the lake easily.

Great place in a great, walkable location. Marina has restaurants, coffee shops, coop and more. The flat was lovely, spacious and very clean. Host was amazing with clear, quick communications.

Amazing place! Definitely a good spot a must recommend 😊

Lovely, peaceful annexe in a charming village—clean, comfortable, and perfectly located between Bath and Bristol. Great value and a welcoming host. Highly recommend!

We had the most amazing stay at Mandy’s place! She was so helpful and my girls loved all the animals!

Really cosy, comfortable lovely barn, set amongst picturesque lakes and commutable to lots of gorgeous towns.

The apartment was even better in reality than in the photos - lovely decor and comfortable beds/sofas. As we had lovely weather for our weekend stay , we sat outside on the rooftop terrace relaxing at every opportunity, listening to birdsong and lake-watching the wildlife. We hadn’t appreciated the amount of activities on offer at Lower Mill Estate but used the outdoor heated pool, recliners and sauna before we checked in - it really started our weekend in relaxing mood. We went to Ballihoo restaurant during our visit and this was a great family restaurant, very casual with good food - a few minutes walk from the accommodation. We did some Cotswolds sightseeing on the Saturday and it was lovely to know our penthouse and sundeck was waiting when we returned in the afternoon. Jane recommended a local restaurant for the Saturday evening and we weren’t disappointed- the food was absolutely delicious and it made the weekend perfect. Jane & Nico - thank you for everything:-)

We loved it here. Our hosts were lovely. The house and gardens are beautiful. The apartment perfect and tasteful and homely. Perfect. In fact, I'm slightly resentful at having to put up this review, because more people will want to go to "our discovery". Without doubt, the nicest and most delightful AirBnB that my partner and I have stayed in! And the bird life in the grounds is wonderful.

A cosy, clean and comfortable place to stay. Powerful shower. Nice dining area. Very friendly host and good food from the chip shop. Nice little high street and pretty walk around the lake.

Amazing stay, so peaceful and lovely. Location is great, secluded but close enough to drive to takeaway spots or Tesco. Not too far from the Brecon Beacons where we travelled to for the four falls trail. Would visit again, thank you :)

What an amazing cottage! It has such a calm peaceful feel to it,probably helped by the surrounding hills,pretty much on the doorstep,and the abundance of very warm & friendly locals! I'm also pretty certain the bed is magic as I haven't slept that well for ages! John was so helpful with all necessary details. He has left very useful instructions for local walks etc in the cottage,along with lots of historic information about the area,all extremely interesting. We absolutely loved staying here,and hope to return. A very special place.

The photos don’t do the lovely place justice. I was worried it wasn’t going be big enough for us, due to the fact I was using it as place to have us together to get ready for the morning of my wedding. The cottage was spacious, beautiful, cosy and was perfect for us all! There was ample of parking which was perfect. I would highly recommend and would stay again if another occasion. Both Angela and her daughter were great at responding to anything we required. They also accepting of any mess we left due to leaving late - bride always arrives fashionably late!

We had a wonderful stay at the lakeside barn. The view from the barn is truly beautiful. We came with our 8 month old baby and it was a great space for her to roam around (We brought our own travel cot which the bedroom had plenty of room for). Anna was so friendly and kind. She communicated well throughout our stay. We would definitely recommend. Thank you!

Wow! What a fabulous, totally relaxing weekend in the most beautiful and peaceful surroundings. We (and our 2 miniature Dachshund) just loved that as soon as you stepped of the front door, there was so much garden, woods, lake and fields to explore. And don't forget the peacocks, Roger and Kevin, adding that magical touch passing right by the front of the cottage. Jean was so lovely too. We absolutely would love to return xx

What a lovely place - Fran could not have been more helpful and generous, allowing us to drop our bags early as we were attending a wedding nearby, and even offering us a lift to get there. The cottage was lovely with everything we needed for one night - and even a log burner we would definitely have enjoyed using if it was winter! Overall a very enjoyable experience - thank you Fran (and the dogs!) for looking after us so well

This is an exceptional cottage which matches and exceeds the very clear and full description. Sally provided friendly and professional check information, a full guide to the area and what to expect, and made us feel very welcome. Homemade cakes a special extra! The location and presentation of the cottage and garden were wonderful, being homely yet high quality and authentic to Brecon and Wales. The cottage is within easy walking distance of the town amenities, while being peaceful and also close to the fantastic natural attractions of the area . We would also recommend Priory cottage as an excellent base for visiting the nearby Hay festival.

Lovely property, very clean and had everything we needed. The garden at the rear of the property was perfect for the dog. Good location with easy access to Bath and Cheddar, which we would highly recommend. We loved the Salt and Malt for takeaway fish and chips!

The cottage was lovely, clean and tidy, and close to the town. Kate was friendly and helpful. Kids who love farm animals will definitely love this place. It is surrounded by beautiful views. Hope we will be back to explore more beautiful places.
