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!

Debbie’s cottage was immaculate and so convenient for walks with our dogs along the Wye river and woodland. So close too, for the local Inns, which also allowed our dogs to be with us. Would highly recommend Debbie’s cottage .

This cottage was a perfect place to stay to explore the Cotswolds! Easily drivable to lots of towns and villages, we got the bus to Cirencester one evening, and the cottage also has a lovely pub (the old neighbourhood inn) a short walk away. It was very lovely to arrive to milk, eggs, bread and butter. The cottage is cute and has everything you need - including a lovely little terrace outside. We would definitely stay here again!

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 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.

Lovely stay at The Little Dairy. It was only 25 mins drive to the Hay Festival and a peaceful place to rest our heads between the two days we attended. The accommodation was clean, beautifully presented and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We would definitely book again when visiting the area.

We had an amazing stay at the barn! Sophie was super responsive. It was the peaceful, relaxing stay we hoped for.

We had a lovely stay at Aston Cottage over the May bank holiday weekend. We were a family of 6 adults and 2 children. The older adults did plenty of walking around the Estate, and the children had a great time in the play areas, soft play and the swimming pool! Two of the adults brought their own bikes and made good use of these too. Alex and Emma were excellent hosts, and were very responsive to any queries we had, both before we arrived and after. There was a small hiccup with the hot water, but this was soon sorted, once I raised. The early check in was very welcome, and so by the time our supermarket shop arrived, we were all set to start the weekend. The house and bathrooms were well equipped with condiments and bathroom 'stuff'. The Pizza shack was a great find! The only negative comments were that it was difficult to warm up the cottage, and the cleaners could pay more attention to detail, ie oven needs cleaning and there were many cobwebs! Thank you both!

Absolutely fabulous holiday, stunning location, beautiful surroundings and so peaceful/private. The accommodation was amazing, it’s like a tardis inside! We had everything we needed, Sarah had thought of everything. We tried all the activities on site, kayaking, hot tub, bbq, fire pit and walks round the lake, the gorgeous weather helped. The dogs enjoyed all the space to explore and relax on the decking. Sarah is a fantastic host, thank you such such an amazing experience!

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.

We absolutely loved our stay at The Coach House! It was exactly as described and very comfortable. Charlie and Peter were great hosts and had thought of everything. We loved the overall vibe of the house and garden - it’s very Soho Farmhouse chic - and there were even eggs from the local chickens there for us to enjoy. We all said how much we’d love to come back and stay again, and will definitely be recommending it to our friends!

What a wonderful place to stay the night! Pool was lovely, beds were comfy and everything was very clean and tidy. Thanks for a lovely stay 😊

A beautiful cottage in fabulous surroundings. Great for adults and children alike. Victoria was a wonderful host and very communicative. I wholeheartedly recommend this venue. The kitchen is particularly well appointed - even down to a meat thermometer. - very good quality utensils. Lots of games to play including an X- box.

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!

Absolutely beautiful! The lodge was perfect, very clean, airy and spacious. The view is stunning, couldn’t get enough of it! Was amazing to wake up and be able to lay in bed and look out at that view! Love the location as it’s close to civilisation but feels rural. Definitely will come back :-)

Really enjoyed our stay at Humbug Barn! Gorgeous property, really picturesque location, a really warm reception and felt looked after at all times. Was lovely to meet the donkeys and can’t wait to be back!!

We had a beautiful stay here for a couple of days. Hettie greeted us at the car and showed us the way and Nick was very welcoming and friendly. We would absolutely stay here again

This was my third time staying at Antonia's beautiful place. Stunning surroundings, beautiful walks at your doorstep. Lots to do and visit in the local area. The Shed is super cosy and very comfortable bed. Highly recommended.

A Perfect Getaway at The Piggery – Cosy, Clean, and Truly Special! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had the absolute pleasure of staying at The Piggery, and I can’t recommend it highly enough! From the moment I arrived, I felt completely at home. The place was spotlessly clean, beautifully cosy, and had everything I could possibly need – plus so much more. The hot tub was a real highlight – perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. It was well-maintained and wonderfully private, adding a real touch of luxury to the stay. What made it even better was how dog-friendly it was. My dogs loved it just as much as I did! There was plenty of space for them to explore and feel at ease, which made the stay even more enjoyable. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful retreat, a romantic weekend, or a dog-friendly break in the countryside, The Piggery ticks every box. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again and would recommend it to absolutely anyone!

Lovely stay at the old dairy! We were in Gloucester for two nights and it was perfect. We didn’t get to do as much as we wanted but you can’t predict the weather. It was cosy and comfortable. Gatsby says thank you for his treats! He sniffed them out straight away! Thank you for a perfect stay.

Thank you Anne and Richard for creating a beautiful, comfortable space for guests to relax in and enjoy the surrounding area. It was just perfect for the two of us and our dog. We took different routes in the woods behind the property every day- it's so handy for a quick walk at the start or end of the day. The village pub offered good food and a friendly welcome- we had a roast and stopped for dinner another evening. The location is great to explore different waking routes or head to the woods on a rainy day. We packed a few trips during our stay and would recommend Painswick and Painswick Beacon, Cotswolds Wildlife Park which is dog friendly, a walk along the canal in Stroud, Haresfield Beacon and then a stop at The Vine Tree Inn- fantastic food and a very warm welcome. We'll definitely be back to explore more of this beautiful area, and would love to stay at the annexe again. Thank you so very much!
