Cottage vacation rentals in River Wye

Iveta was a fantastic host and everyone we met at Timbercombe was incredibly friendly. The lodge is super cosy and perfect in every way. All of our expectations were exceeded! Amazing hot tub, squeaky clean accommodation and mega comfy. We walked miles with our dog every day, leaving completely refreshed. Thanks so much!

Thank you Meng for a beautiful cottage. Beautiful surroundings, calm, peaceful, stunning cottage and welcomed with a pre-warmed wood fired hot tub! What more could one ask for! Nuthatch cottage is down quite an uneven road, so you need to take your time when driving down the lane. Would definitely recommend and we will stay there again if ever we are back in the beautiful Forest of Dean.

Jamie and Dan were amazing hosts, helpful, responsive and friendly. I would definitely return and loved that the animals could wander around the garden, they are so cute and friendly!! The Airbnb was exactly as described and the hot tub was amazing!! Thank you so so much for an amazing stay and I would not hesitate to come back.

We had a fantastic stay for 2 nights at Mabel Cottage. Debbie was on hand to greet us immediately upon arrival and she talked us through all of the relevant instructions for the hot tub etc. Very friendly and approachable and made it clear she was just over the way if we needed something. The barn was spotless and had all the amenities we needed. Towels were provided for the bathroom and the hot tub and we had a relaxing time. The wood fired hot tub was great......we spent about 2+ hours in there on our 2nd night. We also made use of the BBQ under the covered area (needed in the Welsh rain). The local area is stunning and there are lots of dry and wet weather things to do within the Brecons area. Revisiting the Waterfalls was a highlight ......you do need to be energetic as described as some steep gradients and uneven steps/ground! All in all we had a fantastic time at Mabel and would definitely stay again!

Highly recommend this gem of a country cottage. Great location in the countryside but less than 15 minutes from the lovely market town of Hereford. The cottage was beautiful with stylish rustic features plus all the mod cons (including underfloor heating in the bathroom and super fast WiFi throughout). The hot tub adds an extra layer of luxury and felt like a real treat. Josh and Hannah were great hosts. They provided really clear instructions and were very quick to respond to any messages. We really enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to come back, thanks Josh and Hannah.

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.

Just spent a very relaxing 4 days at Coal's view. The pictures on the site are lovely but in reality they don't do the place justice. It is such a beautiful home, everything that you need for a relaxing break. The space is so well thought out, lovely comfy bed and huge bathroom with the free standing bath and separate shower. The hot tub is one of the best we've had at an Airbnb and we made use of it every night, even when there was a bit of rain about. Being able to sit and read in the garden area in the late warm spring afternoon was a joy, my wife totally chilled on the hammock. Tom and Louise live next door to the property and we're really responsive with check in details and also when we contacted them during our stay. Such a lovely place and hope to be able to visit it again.

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

My friend and I had a lovely, tranquil stay with our border terrier. The garden is enclosed and wonderful. The view is stunning and the house is cosy and welcomingly rustic. Great walks in the surrounding hills and by the river Towy. Llandovery is the only close by small town with all that you could need. I look forward to coming out there again.

Badger’s End was a fabulous cosy cottage equipped with everything we needed. The secret woodland garden at the rear of the property was amazing, very restful and listening to the birdsong was a delight. Carol was a warm and friendly host and her knowledge of the local area was extremely helpful and informative. There are many things to do in the locality, so if you enjoy walking, cycling through the Forest of Dean (Pedalaway to hire bikes was brilliant) & generally love nature & the countryside this is the place for you. We tended to pack ourselves a picnic lunch most days as we enjoy exploring and being out in the open air, but we did eat out a couple of nights at The Ostrich Inn (5 minute drive from the property) and Amici’s Italian (10 minute drive), both were good, but best to book early for The Ostrich if you’re planning to eat there on the weekend. Overall, our stay was excellent and I would highly recommend a stay at this fabulous property. Thank you Carol x

Absolutely lovely stay at Jacqueline’s - all you could want and need for a peaceful stay a stones throw from the beach

Perfect. Lovely and quiet. Beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. Good views and patio was a great place to sit in the sun for a coffee in the morning or to relax after a long walk.

We had a great time, beautiful cottage with Amazing views and scenery. The hosts were very helpful and made us welcome. The cottage was presented wonderfully and made us all feel welcome and at home. Ideal for a peaceful break.

We very much enjoyed our three day stay in Alice’s cottage. The cottage is airy and spacious and beautifully decorated. It’s quiet and peaceful with its own little garden. Lyneham Heath Farm has acres of land which afforded a delightful walk. We also visited the nearby Cotswold Wildlife Park which we very much enjoyed. Alice was quick to respond and very helpful. We would love to return and are happy to recommend to others.

If I could give this place 6 stars I would! A stunning place, with everything you’d need and more for a super homely, comfortable stay. Gareth left us some fresh milk, bread and cookies and had a fridge and kitchen full of essentials. The beds were so comfortable. What a luxurious stay! Parking was easy and communication with Gareth was great.

We loved our stay at Snowdrop Cottage. The setting was perfect. Surrounded by trees and bird song. We loved sitting out on the balcony for breakfast enjoying the sheltered sun, view and peace. Inside the space was great for 2 adults, 2 kids. It had everything we needed. And even a small conservatory that we could store our bikes in. The location was quiet and down a single lane track. A less confident driver (like me) might find it a bit steep / narrow but with my husband driving we got through ok with 2 bikes on the back of the car. We enjoyed being able to explore from the door, canoeing, paddling in the river, taking the ferry and climbing Symonds yat rock. A great place for a relaxing short break.

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.

If you are looking for somewhere peaceful with beautiful surroundings this comes highly recommended. Jane was communicative and helpful. The accommodation was larger than it looks in the photos and felt very private. Lovely to arrive and feel right at home. Very nice garden area to sit in, complete with a thoughtful wild flower table decoration - these touches make all the difference. We hope to be back before too long.

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.

Such a cute cottage in a really quiet area- away from the touristy towns but still close enough to drive all over. Beautiful walking paths. Very clean cottage and super helpful host- had great breakfast recs. Definitely recommend if you want to experience the countryside.

We had a wonderful stay at Pottery cottage. It was easy to find and had all the amenities we needed. It provided us with a home from home whilst visiting the Hay on Wye Festival. The house was cosy and it was a very enjoyable stay. .

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.

Ann was fantastic from the start, always replying straight away to messages. Her place was clean, tidy, stocked with every thing we needed. It was beautiful and a true cottage staycation. Thank you Ann for your hospitality. Highly recommend!!

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.
