Farmstay holiday rentals in Forest of Dean District

I had a beautiful time at the Stables! It’s a getaway from the world at a working farm. I love animals, so I asked to meet some of them, and Yvonne took me to see (and pet!) the milking cows, and explained the entire process to me! The house had traditional charm but was has been updated everywhere that it counts. They have lists of local recommendations but I was happy to get groceries and use the excellent kitchen at the property. I did not have a car and was warned about difficulty getting around but as I was only interested in nature and peace and quiet, getting to and from on public transport was easy enough. Finally, Yvonne was always prompt responding to me and was very friendly and welcoming! I’d love to come back!

The cabin is set in a beautiful location and is roomy and well equipped. Even in February we were cosy and warm. There are thoughtful touches like board games which we enjoyed playing. There was a handy guide to local restaurants and the hosts were very welcoming and kind. We would highly recommend Tessa’s cabin , Thank you Rose & Adrian

Great location for exploring the Cotswolds as well as Bath and Bristol. Cute, well equipped space.

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.

we had a great stay. the area is very peaceful, but within easy distance of main roads. pubs and local walks. lots to do locally and slightly further afield. the house was exactly as pictured, and very clean. the kitchen had everything we needed, including plastic plates for little ones. hosts were easy to contact but respectful of privacy. we'd definitely book again!

Really great stay, very cosy. The woodshed is right next to where the host lives so any issues (we had none!) could have been easily addressed. Very quiet surroundings. Mel was a very friendly host and was very flexible. About a 5/10min drive from the local pub, from which there are pleasant walks you can do. Bought as a gift for my parents and they said they’d 10/10 stay again

Beautiful barn excellent condition and comfortable beds . Perfect location to Bredenbury Barn wedding venue. Stunning sunset . The barn had everything we needed and was perfect for us. We would love to return

There’s a dilemma when finding a gem.. do you keep to yourself (and enable ease of rebooking) or share ? David and Candida are so generous to share their incredible property, it is only right to share my opinions too. This place is incredible- the location, spotless property and abundant tranquility. Probably difficult to access in the winter, but staying in spring was like being whisked away to Somerset heaven. Take some slippers for the stairs (cast iron uncomfortable underfoot) but that was the only flaw in a delightful stay.

Beautiful home surrounded by peaceful countryside. Our two year old (and us) loved watching the horses and goats in the nearby fields, and being able to watch them from the hanging egg chairs on the decking was perfect! House was spotlessly clean and had all the facilities we needed. Thank you for sharing your home with us and for accommodating an early check in - this really made life easier in settling the little one in.

Amazing stay! Such a lovely little shepherds hut which was well equipped and perfect for us. Breakfast provided was a bonus and felt so welcome by Rosalind and family. We would definitely return if we were in the area!

Very interest location on a horse racing farm, wonderful for walking and enjoying the gorgeous Marlborough Downs. Claire was a very responsive host.

A wonderful place for our short stay in the Cotswolds. Cot and high chair were provided as we'd requested. There were also some good kids toys and books available to use. The space was kitted out really well with lots useful kitchen utensils, tea, coffee and fresh eggs all provided.

We stayed for 2 nights and absolutely loved it. the Stables is gorgeous, spotlessly clean and tidy. It was a lovely calming space to be in. The hot tub was amazing and made our 13 year old very happy. Super spacious bedrooms, fully usable kitchen, comfy sofa - perfect! This was close to many, many places and ideal for families. Easy to book, clear instructions on how to get to and get in the property. We would most definitely stay again and highly recommend.

Really enjoyed the three nights we spent at Jack's house. It was a perfect peaceful retreat overlooking a pond, and with a great view across the fields. Inside is well appointed, very clean, warm and comfortable. Highly recommended.

Paul was very helpful with all the information beforehand and always responded quickly. Laurel cottage is an absolute gem in a wonderful location. It was lovely hearing and seeing the lambs from our bedroom window, the garden is a haven! The welcome basket was a very welcome gift. Many thanks Paul and would highly recommend .

We had a lovely few days staying at the Holly barn. The barn was exactly as described and everything was great Our toddler especially enjoyed the animals in the garden and refused to go to bed until she'd said goodnight to the ducks! Sarah and mark were lovely and gave us some recommendations for walks close by too Thank you!

Pictures don’t do it justice! Was the best experience I’ve had with air bnb. Location was unreal and so close to pen y fan which we climbed. Will stay again 👍🏼

Beautiful place in a great location. Exactly as described and the perfect place to escape. Easy to find and super helpful instructions. Would highly recommend!

We spent Easter at the Cotswolds Farm Hideaway with friends this year and had the most lovely time. Kyra and William were fantastic hosts and shared all required details upfront and helped us arrange a 2nd key upon arrival. They also left really lovely welcome gifts for us upon arrival, including homemade banana bread and fresh eggs. The property is stunning and in the most beautiful setting. The inside is so stylish and comfortable, and the grounds are beautiful. The kids loved playing outside in the large garden and we went for several walks in the beautiful countryside. We also enjoy outdoor barbecues as well as inside log fires in the evening. Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful place. Hanna

Down for a wedding at Folly Farm, lovely space in wonderful location. Amenities and space ideal for two couples. Easy to find and such tranquility so close to the vibe of Bristol and splendour of Bath. Wandered around the lake direct from the house on the morning of the wedding, having enjoyed dinner at the Pony and Trap (very close) on the Friday evening. Pippa very helpful host.

We had a wonderful stay , everything was perfect and so many little touches that made it feeling homely. Great location with easy to access to great walks and beautiful countryside. Katy was a very responsive host with lots of local knowledge and tips.

Had a wonderful 4 days at Victoria's Lodge. The photos didn't do it justice. Much better in real life. Had everything we needed and more. All beautifully furnished and comfortable. Would highly recommend and would love to stay again. Thank you once again. Linda x

We had an amazing stay at Elizabeths place. We went for a friend's birthday and had 6 at Elizabeths place and 10 in the house next door which is joined by the back garden. It had everything we needed. They had put a sign on the party barn saying 'Lucy and friends' which was a really sweet, personalised touch. Would absolutely love to come back!

Just returned from a lovely stay in charming cottage surrounded by beautifully maintained, peaceful grounds. Our dog loved the private paddock and we were welcomed by Kiel who was very helpful and approachable for anything we needed. The location is stunning, we visited the Eastnor castle which Kiel recommended which was a hit with the little ones. Ledbury town has lots of history and again the little ones enjoyed the museums, there were plenty interesting restaurants however we didn't visit any. We would recommend this stay for young families wanting a peaceful, charming and relaxing break in a beautiful location!!
