Apartment vacation rentals in Forest of Dean

The post code address didn’t quite get us to Steve’s front door but we found it without too much trouble. The property is large and the cottage itself was very spacious and comfortable.The kitchen is very well equipped and the welcome pack was excellent. There are a couple of nice local pubs and Melksham is close by. Bath is about half an hour away and there are a number of National Trust properties within a similar distance. A very pleasant property which is recommended.

Property was exactly as described. Great value for money in an ideal location for a short walk into the main town area. Apartment was clean and very well presented. With a straightforward check-in. Everything we needed for a night away. Would definitely use again if in the area.

We absolutely loved this place and would both stay again and wholeheartedly recommend it to others. While five-star reviews on Airbnb are given out perhaps too freely these days, this is genuinely a property worth going out of your way for. The location strikes the perfect balance—centrally situated in the heart of the Cotswolds with convenient parking for those driving, yet just a pleasant 10-minute walk to downtown via a lovely walking path. What truly sets this place apart, however, is the exceptional attention to detail the host has put into every aspect of the stay. From thoughtful amenities to quality furnishings, this Airbnb includes those extra touches that separate it from the others. This is what a quality short-term rental should be. Stay here.

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.

Great host and lovely apartment, very clean, will definitely book again in the future

Anna was an excellent host — very friendly, responsive, and made sure I felt comfortable and at home. The space was spotless and well-equipped. Unfortunately my stay was a short , overnight stop to split up a long journey so unsure what the area has to offer but the property was in quiet neighbourhood with a convenient shop in a short walking distance. I’d definitely stay again and highly recommend it to anyone

We booked here as two couples and had an amazing stay. Jacqui met us when we arrived and was very friendly and showed us what we needed to know. Everything was spotless and it is a very peaceful area. The swimming pool is fabulous and very well kept. The kitchen has everything you need. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and will be recommending to friends and family.

A really beautiful place to stay!! It was really unique and incredibly well decorated!! Central and on a great location, it was perfect for our weekend in Bath! Greg was extremely responsive and kind, and I would definitely recommend!

Lovely third stay at Josie’s flat. The apartment is spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated and comfortable. Close to everything - great pubs and restaurants all within walking distance. Hope to return 😊

Thank you John & Elena for a perfect stay. We were in Painswick for a wedding and the accomodation was the perfect base for an amazing weekend. The house was immaculate, with lots of space. We had a dog and baby with us and they provided everything we could need. The information provided was perfect, check in stress free and we even got to check in early. The house was in a perfect location to walk to everything in the village. We'd love to return back and stay again.

Lovely, clean apartment as described walking distance to the town and local amenities. Responsive, polite and helpful host.

I was genuinely impressed by how comfortable and cozy the apartment was. Everything is done with care and attention to detail — it’s clear a lot of love went into creating this space. It was a real pleasure to stay here, and I honestly wished I could have stayed longer. The location is also great, especially if you’re travelling without a car. Thanks to Miles for being a kind and helpful host!

Amazing stay!!! This was our second stay at Julie and Ashley’s wonderful studio. Returned because we loved our first stay so much we had to return. Studio is immaculate, all high spec facilities provided, beyond any expectations. Ample breakfast provided for the duration of our stay which is a lovely addition. On site parking right next to the studio. The studio is about 30mins walk from Bath. The walk is spectacular with gorgeous views of Bath. Really relaxing. Walk back from Bath is uphill but there are regular buses which stop near to the studio. Julie and Ashley are amazing hosts, really friendly and approachable. Anyone wanting to stay in Bath we cannot recommend this studio enough. You won’t be disappointed. Will be definitely be returning for another visit.

We loved the beautiful decor of the place, its convenient location, and the nice things Sara-Jane left out for us! It was a wonderful stay, perhaps a bit damp because of the under ground, but overall no complaints! We’d love to return.

Our second stay at Treetops was yet again perfect for our needs. Friendly, proactive and generous hosts. Spacious, extremely clean and comfortable accommodation. Beautiful peaceful surroundings. Friendly locals in the village pub. Thank you Catherine & Phil - everything greatly appreciated.

We loved everything about this place: the cleanliness, the beauty, the location, and it had a parking space. We would definitely stay there again!

Beautiful place for a much needed escape and relaxing getaway. The hosts were great and only a message away. The container was spotless, fully equipped and the view was incredible. Will definitely be returning x

Our short stay at Jon & Laura's was perfect. We loved the patio with comfortable garden furniture, for tea outside on arrival and for a leisurely breakfast. The pristine bathroom was a joy to use. Jon's information on the local area was well-received... we enjoyed our evening 50 minute walk to a pub for food & drink and our morning visit to The Gloucester Quays. (We also won our Tennis match!)

Sandip's property is fantastic. This is the second time we have visited and felt comfortable, welcome and right at home. Honestly, one of the best properties on airbnb we have stayed in, perfect balance of professionalism and friendliness.

Both myself and my partner had a lovely stay we couldn't of picked a better place to stay, the accommodation was spotless, the hot tub was lovely and the overall stay was perfect. I would highly recommend to anyone that wishes for a nice relaxing time away, we will definetly be stopping again in the very near future. Thanks Nigel & Debs for such a welcoming stay.

The place is brilliant and right in the heart of Hay-On-Wye, easy access to all amenities :)

One of the best places my wife and I have ever stayed on Airbnb. What a find! Immaculate, high quality fixtures and fittings - those staying are in for a fun surprise when using lavatory and bed lol :) The hot tub was the perfect temperature for relaxing (easy instructions). Location wise within easy walking distance of some nice places to eat plus the nearby train station - Bristol is then only 10mins away by rail and an interesting/picturesque place to explore (be aware the ticket purchasing machine at Heynsham isn't obvious but is on the other side of the platform). Once in Bristol, would recommend using Uber to nip up to Clifton (beautiful architecture inc. Suspension Bridge plus more fab places to eat). Our long weekend ended with an easy drive up to and walk around the lovely Westonburt Orboretum. Julie thanks for an amazing stay, the little touches that make all the difference and all your recommendations. We shall be back!

two words absolutely stunning. beautiful home and location, so peaceful, the home had everything we needed for our stay. we would definatly recommend to anyone that's wants to get away. Hosts Mandy and Simon were very accommodating, the only negative we had was that we had to leave, the cows to look at over the field were a lovely addition. Our stay was everything we hoped for and worth every penny. Thankyou so much for having us. ❤️

My husband and I came here on a family getaway with my elderly parents. Extra instructions on how to find the property made it easy to get to. The property is in a quiet area and reasonably secluded with stunning views over the hills where deer and rabbits run wild. Although described as a flat it is more like a house type home ( there was someone in the upstairs flat but we hardly heard them and they were very quiet ). Every morning we were lucky enough to sit outside in the garden with the sun shining to drink our tea & coffee. The kitchen is fully equipped and we had a lovely BBQ too on our last evening. The flat is beautifully decorated with lots quirky touches, comfortable beds and comfy sofa to chill out on. The hot tub was ready when we arrived and was much appreciated every night after long days out touring the Cotswolds. ( We can also recommend The plough at Fork for friendly service and great food ) ! We had a fab time and we were sorry to leave .
