Bed and breakfast holiday rentals in Forest of Dean

Really enjoyed our stay. Petra and Dick were v friendly and welcoming. Main bedroom was lovely. 2nd bedroom was tiny but single bed was v comfortable. V quiet road. This is definitely a lived in family home with lots of books, plants and ornaments. If you prefer a more like hotel experience, then look elsewhere, but we enjoyed our two night stay. Breakfast was simple (cereals, yogurt, toast, fruit etc with coffee, wide range of teas) but delicious. Was lovely to chat with our hosts about our plans each morning . Parking in central Bath is a nightmare so was lovely to leave our car parked in the street and use the bus (bus stop just across the road) to visit the town centre.

Jessica and Paul are marvelous! Quite friendly and attentive. We had good conversations and the always had left prepared our breakfast before we got down to it. The location and the city’s scape view from the bedroom is breathtaking. We strictly recommend them.

I couldn’t recommend Fiona and her lovely air BnB ‘the arches’ more. We had a fantastic stay, Fiona and her partner couldn’t have been more welcoming and helpful. The air BnB is even better than the pictures, and the location is fantastic for exploring the beautiful national park. There are local pubs that you can walk to for dinner and drinks, as well as great amenities for cooking at the air BnB. This was one of my favourite air BnB’s I’ve ever stayed in, don’t hesitate to get it booked.

Honestly can say this was the best experience of an Airbnb myself and partner had. A very warm welcome, treated like a part of the family. The room was very spacious and a lovely bathroom. Comfortable bed and the added teas, coffees, biscuits were a great touch. The breakfast was out of this world. Everything you could of asked for. What a lovely experience, thank you Sarah and Mark. We will visit again.

Such a charming family home and we were welcomed in with such big smiles! Really friendly hosts, clean and spacious bedroom with wonderful natural light 🙌🏻 Would highly recommend!

We had the pleasure of staying at The Cowsheds in Chippenham as a family of 12, plus a dog, spanning multiple generations—including my elderly mother. From the time we arrived, we felt completely at home in this wonderfully spacious clean accommodation that catered perfectly to all our needs. Georgina, our host, was friendly, welcoming, and incredibly responsive throughout our stay. Her attention to detail made all the difference, from the fresh milk straight from the farm waiting in the fridge to the bottle of champagne. And her homemade chocolate brownies were to die for! Every aspect of The Cowsheds was beautifully considered, creating a warm and comfortable retreat for our entire family. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay, and we are truly grateful to Georgina for sharing her lovely accommodation with us.

The most wonderful and peaceful stay . A walkable distance from a wedding at Homme House, however Anne was kind enough to drive us down. Breakfast was an absolute highlight, with local and homemade ingredients, in addition to a homemade chocolate and chestnut torte laid out upon arrival. Our accommodation had everything that we could need for a couple of nights, which led to an incredibly comfortable stay. Thank you, Anne!

Very cozy, little apartment. Perfect for hiking around and exploring breacon beacons, even if without a car. Lynne was very helpful and friendly and even left a little breakfast, which was very helpful

Clean place and a friendly welcome, even the farm dog came up to us wagging its tail. A tasty English breakfast crowned the whole thing. Highly recommended as a base to explore the area. Should be reserved at the local inn

Lovely clean home with lovely host. Would definitely stay here again. Lovely breakfast served with homemade jams on offer also.

Nice quiet but central location for access to town centre

Lovely couple who have a beautiful countryside house with bed and breakfast. I really enjoyed my stay there! I would definitely go back :)

If you're looking for peace and quiet, in gorgeous surroundings, stay here! My husband and I stayed for the weekend and wished our time at Parsonage House had been longer. The place was just like the pictures, with luxurious bedding and bath, in a secluded suite. In the mornings, we ate well, enjoying tea, hot croissants, yogurt and fresh fruit. During the day, we walked through Badminton Estate and had wood-fired pizza in the garden of a local pub. We chose this particular area to get away from London and to enjoy the countryside without the crowds present in many locations. We walked for hours and took in the fresh air without hearing a single motorbike or honking horn. Priceless! I saved the best for last: Elizabeth and John. We've stayed at many properties around the world and place you in a league of hosts who are known for warmth and kindness. Thank you for making us feel so welcome, the genuine chats and for sharing the beautiful space you've created. Top notch all the way!

Best place I’ve ever stayed, spotlessly clean, warmest of welcomes, everything you could possibly need provided & nothing too much trouble, lovely bedroom, comfiest of beds fantastic choice for breakfast, couldn’t fault a thing, looking forward to a return visit soon

Lovely house and wonderful big room, only stayed for one night as it was work trip but was super comfy, had everything I needed and beautiful interiors. Sandra and family made me feel very comfortable and welcome. Would definitely recommend!

We stayed at Sue’s lovely place for a wedding nearby! She was so warm and welcoming. The beds were really comfy and the water pressure was great. She made us breakfast in the morning with yoghurt, fresh fruit and toast, and gave us a little tour around their home - the old chapel! Lovely stay and we’d definitely go back! Thank you xx

Very nice stay with Julie. Tea on arrival was very welcome and after my long walk. Breakfast timed to accommodate my walk starting times. Lots of choice at breakfast. Great location in centre of Crickhowell. Very quiet and peaceful.

The stay in Hay-on-Wye was made all the better by Vicky and Rob's hospitality. A great place, quiet and so convenient to the surrounding area. If you are a fan of books, this village is the perfect place to explore.

Stayed as part of the wye valley walk. Slept well and breakfast next morning was good and set us up for the next day.

Fantastic stay - the rooms were clean and the host and owner were both so friendly. Very quiet and the pub downstairs was great. They provided snacks and teas/coffee/juices for the morning. Will definitely stay again if we’re in the area

I have stayed at Lyn's place on a good number of occasions now, and they are creating a very special environment, where their guests are treated more as family. The rooms are comfortable and warm. It is a shared bathroom but they make the effort to stagger it's use through communication between the guests. Breakfast is great, and the welcome is very friendly.

We have just had the most blissfully relaxing 5 days at Little Bothy. Great communication throughout, not too much or too little. It was so easy to find, but with Claire’s extra info it meant the journey wasn’t stressful, worrying if we’d find it in the dark, on a wet evening. Our welcome was delightful, again beautifully balanced, not too much or too little. A fantastic folder of helpful tips for the house and the town. Little Bothy is gorgeously decorated and maintained with the cutest heirlooms. It felt so calm, cozy, spacious, clean, relaxing and has every single thing you could possibly need. Claire has thought of everything! The welcome basket was such a thoughtful treat and we were left to come and go as we pleased as if it were our own home. The peaceful surroundings with nothing but bird song, greenery, sheep and their gorgeous boy dozy made for a very relaxing, restorative 5 days. All 3 of us can’t wait to return for a special bit of heaven. Thank you Claire and Stewart xx

Dee is an exceptional hostess- I felt completely at home and at ease in her lovely home. Dee is very knowledgeable about the area and went above and beyond to assist me. The breakfast was astonishing with fresh orange juice, fruit, bread and granola, Dees own homemade jam and lots of tea There aren’t words to communicate the warmth and nurturing Dee provides - highly recommend you go and meet her and the adorable Tilly (best mannered softest golden lab ever) ❤️

If there were more than five stars to give I’d happily do so! Julia and Tony aren’t your average Hosts, they are super dooper hosts! Our entire stay was absolutely lovely. From the home baked cookies we received on arrival, to the best bed and bedding we’ve ever slept in we can’t rate Stoneleigh highly enough! The house is beautiful and gloriously renovated; we were made to feel part of a very comfortable home. All of Julia and Tony’s recommendations on where to go and places to see, were perfect for us, we brought our road bikes and spent three days exploring the countryside. We ate like kings and enjoyed the whole experience. We’d recommend Stoneleigh and Julia, Tony and Love Dog to everyone!
