Kid-friendly holiday 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!

A little gem! A perfect escape in every way. Fantastic hosts too

Beautiful property - like something out of grand designs! Lovely, peaceful spot in the middle of the countryside with a great local pub within walking distance.

Joe was an amazing host it was our first holiday away and for my little dog to we got ourselves bit lost gave Joe a call it wasn’t a problem he gave very good instructions and we found him and had the best greeting from Joe and Ernie the cottage was absolutely stunning the grounds are breath taking it’s literally a slice of heaven my little dog loved his stay just as much and his new friend Ernie Joe was incredible the whole time couldn’t of asked for better at all we have booked our second stay already it was that amazing keep it up Joe it’s truely amazing

I loved my stay here. Chris & Mark were fab - friendly, helpful and quick to respond to any questions I had about the local area etc. the place was spotless, super comfy and with lots of light and beautiful flowers around the garden and fluffy towels. Everything looked brand new and it had everything I needed. Thanks again 😊

The Game Larders was perfect for us (a couple with a well-behaved dog). The house and grounds are genuinely spectacular. There is a wonderful sense of history around you, and it was interesting to see how such a property and land are being put to work in the form of a modern vineyard and wine label. Jamie was a great host. He recommended lots of interesting places to eat in the local area, and answered any questions we had. The proprty was comfortable (especially the huge super-king bed with quality bedding), and had a homely feel. Our dog enjoyed being able to chase a ball in the field opposite the house (we were lucky that the sheep weren't in the field while we were there). The house is situated in a quiet spot, 10-15 minutes away from Ross, and within easy reach of a huge range of interesting places to see. We only had two days so we didn't really scratch the surface. We will try to return soon, and when we do, we will certainly consider staying at the Game Larders once again.

Waterloo too has become one of my favourite places to visit. Beautiful surroundings with a very welcoming host who loves to show off her place and quite rightly so. There are lots of visitors to her bird feeders, your own private garden, although you are welcome to sit in Melissa's garden next to her pond and a few feet away from her orchard, where a mattress has thoughtfully been placed for any stargazer's to use. One of the best breakfast hamper I've encountered with fresh eggs from her friends chickens, local butter, small loaf, and small jars of jam etc. Cereal was also provided along with usual tea and coffee and coffee for the cafetiere as well and not forgetting the pint of milk as well. Will definitely be returning 🤗

We had a wonderful night’s stay here. The cottage is beautiful and absolutely spotless. The host was so kind and friendly and did her utmost to accommodate our needs. We are so thankful. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and would love to return in the future. To summarise … Lovely, helpful host Beautiful and immaculate cottage (with the most comfiest bed I’ve ever slept in). Has all you would need. Loved it. Thank you.

We had a lovely long weekend with our 2 grandchildren. Lots of family friendly activities close to hand. A good selection of evening venues to enjoy too.

Helen's flat is very spacious, beautifully decorated and furnished and the kitchen table has a stunning view over Hereford (many games of cribbage played with glasses of wine!). The kitchen has everything needed to produce a meal and Helen kindly left milk, breakfast goods etc in the fridge. The bed was very comfortable, with extra linen if you needed. The HUGE shower was a real luxury. The relaxing spacious sitting room has a woodburner stove if needed (sadly we could not justify lighting it in June 😆). This is a perfect base for travelling around the beautiful surrounding areas, or to just chill out and relax (WiFi very good). 10/10 🤗

We had a wonderful two nights at Louise's and would have stayed longer had the apartment been free. Everything about the apartment was elegant, the street , the windows, height of ceiling, quality of the furnitiure, fixtures and fittings. The kitchen was have everything we needed. Check in and Check out was very simple using key box. The appartment is no more than 10mins from centre. There is no parking in the street but the Bath Cricket Club carpark was only 15mins away, we left our car there for all our stay, fees paid in advance.

Absolutely gorgeous little place. I’d even say better in real life than the pictures! Bed was super comfortable and I slept really well. My only regret is that I didn’t have longer to spend there! The parking space is also a huge bonus. Thank you for your hospitality.

Absolutely idyllic space. Views superb. Access to double bed is a ladder so might not suit everyone. We loved it.

This was a perfect place for a short stay, with wonderful views over the hills and a walk through beautiful meadows to nailsworth for lunch. The strawberries were a thoughtful touch and we loved the friendly welcome.

I was a guest at a wedding at Twyning Park and found Terry’s accommodation to be stellar and perfectly suited to my needs for my weekend stay. Terry was super accommodating of any requests and I’d highly recommend his place. Thanks again!

Thank you so much, we had a lovely stay. The place was perfect for a weekend getaway, walking distance to the centre of Stroud. It had everything we needed and we can’t wait to come back!

Was a great check in with John who gave clear instructions and a brief intro to the apartment. It’s an historic building nestled in a beautiful secluded spot but immediately accessible to Stroud including a walkable supermarket. We were treated to a brass band on Sunday morning from the park bandstand opposite! Comfortable and cosy interior perfect for our short stay. John was the perfect gentleman and host

Victoria's property is exquisitely decorated and furnished throughout. The location is perfect for a short stroll into the town centre and access to the disused railway walking trail opposite. The living room is large and very light and airy with a high ceiling. Although at first floor level, the back door opens out onto a lovely enclosed garden. Ideal for our dog. Above all, we were very surprised as to how peaceful and quiet the location was. Thoroughly recommend it, couldn't have wished for any more, Victoria had thought of everything.

A great place to stay to explore Upton and the surrounding areas. Apartment is great in a central location right in town, easy walk to anywhere in Upton. Carola and Rick were great hosts, good clear instructions and helpful information. Apartment was spotless (thank you to their housekeeper Emma), and would highly recommended both the Regency Apartment and Carola and Rick as hosts.

Second time we have stayed here because we just love it so much! This time we had time to go for a nice walk in the woods which isn’t far at all! We always feel right at home and always so comfortable with everything we need!

Great location, just over Pulteney Bridge so nice and quiet at nighttime but very easy to walk over to the main attractions during the day. Lots of great restaurants etc. very close by too. The apartment itself is impressive! The scale is larger than the photos, all very spaced out with lots of room. The design is great and everything was spotless. The kitchen had amenities to be able to cook at home. Great window coverings to allow complete blockout at night, however also allowed through flow of air during the day. As advertised, it is upstairs, so something to note. We were made aware there were renovation works on the apartment upstairs, however they were all conducted in normal construction hours and we barely heard any noise. Overall, peaceful and so enjoyable, we would stay here again and highly recommend it.

We had the most wonderful stay with Mags. The house is stunning, surrounded by the most beautiful landscaped gardens. It was lovely to wake up to the birdsong in the morning. The property itself is cosy, comfortable and spotlessly clean. We slept great and the shower is excellent! Lastly, Mags was the cherry on top. She was kind, attentive and went the extra mile to make us feel welcome, albeit we only stayed for one night. One of the best Air BnBs we’ve stayed in - we hope we can find an excuse to come back again. Brava!

Beautiful accommodation and the design and styling is outstanding! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The area is beautiful, with lovely pubs, cafes and bakery close-by. Sally was so welcoming and helpful. Highly recommend!

Great base for exploring the area, very peaceful, clean and had everything we needed. Great recommendation from Kevin about where to eat. Will definitely stay again. Thanks so much for your quick responses while we were there regarding places to eat out.
