Cottage vacation rentals in Forest of Dean District

Had a brilliant stay for my partners 30th birthday! The cottage was really cute and cosy and the hot tub was brilliant too. Really comfortable bed and a 20 minute walk away from 'The Shears Inn' pub which is great for a drink and we also had a lovely dinner here. Lorraine (the host) was very responsive via messages and was prepared to go the extra mile for us at all times.

Simply stunning, the pictures don't do it justice. the locations & views were awesome. The property is very well laid out, well equipped and the quirky decor suits the propert perfectly. The outside space is so well thought out go get the most of the views. The real star of this place to me was the hot tub, just sitting in there and admiring the views - just perfect

This is a beautiful cottage with a huge hot tub me and my partner had an amazing stay here with all the amenities you could want and more it was so clean and felt right at home here 5 stars from us we will define be returning ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A beautiful well appointed cottage, lovely and clean with comfortable beds. The hot tub in the well kept private garden was a bonus. Poppy was responsive to questions and queries and had left some lovely personal touches to make check nice and smooth. Bath is just a short drive and there are lots of local pubs for a lovely meal out. The surrounding area was quiet and beautiful. We would definitely go back.

We had a wonderful stay, such a beautiful house in such a beautiful village! Everything was lovely., super comfortable and clean. Tori and Jack were great hosts and we would love to come back one day!

We stayed in Doris cottage over Easter weekend and had such a lovely stay. Debbie and Roger were both so friendly and welcoming and you can tell they take great pride in what they do. The cottage itself was so well equipped with everything you will need for your stay. Truly a little piece of heaven and we cannot recommend enough. Can’t wait to come back!

The cottage was perfect. It was homely, beautifully thought out and furnished with lots of little furnishing to make it really cosy and welcoming. We loved the outside spaces too- the hot tub was amazing and the BBQ area too. It certainly gave us all we needed for a fabulous stay. We’ll definitely be back.

Jamie and Dan were brilliant hosts. We were welcomed with the key in the door ready for arrival with a bottle of Prosecco and a bottle of milk for a cup of tea! The cottage was beautifully presented - perfect for a couples retreat. The cottage is very tucked away however, Jamie’s instructions were spot on so made it very easy to find. Dan messaged us to check that we had everything that we wanted and to just let them know if we needed anything. We based ourselves here and went to and from Gloucester and Cheltenham. A lush weekend and would highly recommend!

Karl was a great host and responded very quickly. He was waiting to meet us when we arrived, very welcoming and showed us around and how everything worked. House was great and surprisingly big, much more spacious than the pictures do it justice! Had everything inside that we needed and was very quiet and private. Garden is secure unless, like my dog, they're keen to jump fences!! Beds were super comfy and we got a great night sleep every night. Loads of walking nearby and a great base to explore the Elan Valley and local town, both of which are lovely. Thank you very much, we were sad to leave as we had a great time!

We loved the cottage ,so clean and comfortable and the garden/stream /swing and animals were a real hit with the children. We were made to feel very welcome -homemade cake ,lovely coffee ,bread and eggs ,such a nice touch with Easter eggs for the kids . Thank you Tracey and Dave .

This is a beautiful property that exceeded expectations. The host was very welcoming and had everything we needed when we got there. I would highly recommend it.

This was my second time staying at Norton Court Farm and it was just as wonderful as the first. The cottage was cozy, spotlessly clean and appointed with many thoughtful amenities that make it feel like a home away from home. The kitchen was fully equipped making it easy to cook meals and the host was very welcoming and offered some lovely local recommendations. Thank you so much for hosting us! :)

Deer View cottage is was absolutely gorgeous! It’s a traditional cottage, so the stairs are steep & takes some getting used too, however do not let this put you off. There is a secure garden for the dogs, however a public walkway right across the road through a wooded area & fields which lead to the village green & cafe! Perfect for a morning coffee. The cottage was extremely clean with everything in place ie towels, hand soap, tea towels, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets & toilet rolls (including spares). Bathroom & separate shower was perfect when sharing with family or couples. Definitely recommend Deer View cottage, it catered for all our needs including our dogs & the surprise views in the back garden was totally unexpected! Hosts were perfect!

The bungalow is clean, comfortable and provided all that we needed for a short Easter break. The living area was equipped with all the basics, as well as with free Wi-fi and Netflix, although no other channels were available. The tv was small (32"), especially when seated on the sofa or armchair. During our three night stay, the local Forest School and Oakraven Centre had children attending courses, so there was something of a mini 'Rush hour' in the morning and evening. It was not a problem but required wariness for walkers and opposing traffic in a single track road. The woodland walks locally are good and plentiful, Lorraine providing good guidelines to other attractions and trails. A beautiful area.

Fantastic stay, great recommendations from Jane, perfect location and nice pub 5 mins walk down the road. Lovely cosy cottage with sheep as neighbours, would love to return for a future holiday. Thank you :) Hannah, Jake & family xx

We had a wonderful stay very private and spotless rooms, a perfect place for a weekend retreat or if you want to stay for a week. The bed was very comfortable. Peter the host was very responsive with any questions. Peter and Hilary also provided a fantastic information pack with the best walks around the surrounding area and also the best pubs to have a drink or to have dinner. Would very much recommend.

Beautiful cosy cottage within walking distance of all that Cirencester had to offer. We loved our stay. We met Rupert and Olive the Cockapoo in their garden, they gave us a great welcome and shared tips on places to walk and restaurants to visit. Thank you :)

Beautiful cottage that had everything you could want/need and more! Katie provided everything that we needed for a short break, utensils, pots/pans etc and the games were a lovely addition too😊 The location is absolutely stunning, there was nothing better than watching the sunrise from the hot tub listening to the wildlife! Would recommend the cottage to anyone looking for a break away to relax with friends/family. The goats and ducks were also very cute!

We’ve just come back from having a lovely long weekend away. The location of the accommodation was brilliant, it was very clean, the kitchen has everything you need to cook with, the bathroom and en-suite was clean and spacious. Linda was amazing and she came over to make sure we have settled in and everything was ok. We would recommend The Farmers Arms which is just down the road or The Hunters Inn which is about 10-15 minutes drive for food. We would definitely book here again as we have only seen a small percentage of the area.

We had a wonderful 4 day stay at The Bothy. Beautiful surroundings and the cottage’s was cosy and well equipped. We enjoyed the woodburner. Alicia and Christopher responded quickly and helpfully and gave us a lovely warm welcome. Their home made bread and marmalade were a lovely treat. The cottage is well equipped and very comfortable with excellent WiFi. The TV is not so good with poor reception but there are plenty of DVDs.

Had a wonderful relaxing stay at Carley’s house. Close to a main road but quick access into nature with lovely creek trails that we used for walks and runs. Really cosy feel inside with a nice living space to spend time and very comfortable sleeping arrangements. Outside there are plenty of options with multiple sitting areas if the weather is right and the spa was perfect at the end of each day to unwind even if a little tight for 4 adults. Carley was very communicative, we didn’t have any issues but I’m sure they would be solved quickly if there were any!

Extremely well serviced upon arrival , milk ,breakfast cereal ,lots of bathroom products and cleaners for kitchen surfaces , was given exact directions being a 15 min walk to local pub the property gives easy access to Cardiff and points of interest locally also within a couple of hours to the Cotswolds and Wye valley .

Had a lovely stay at this tranquil cottage with a beautiful and very secure garden 😊

If you are looking for a remote place to reset from the world this is the place ! The most stunningly beautiful place surrounded by sheep and hills , we spent hours sat in the sunny conservatory watching the birds eatting - it’s blissful 🫶. The cottage has everything you need to have a wonderful cosy stay and Jon is a super helpful host - it was a Little slice of heaven at Little pudding cottage and we will most definitely be back to enjoy it again in the future . If there is a clear night you can literally see every single star in the sky it’s breathtaking . We walked a lot with the dogs over the fields , if you go off piste there is a fair amount of boggy areas and we found lots of ticks on the dogs when we came back so just be aware that April onwards is tick season so double check your furry friends to make sure they stay happy too ☺️ Thanks Jon for letting us enjoy your beautiful cottage- we have truly loved every second of it ❤️
