Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Forest of Dean

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!

Would definitely recommend a visit! It is a beautiful place to stay, with lots of character and charm! Rooms are surprisingly large with lots of natural light and beds were well rated among our group. Swedish hot tub was a firm favourite. Joe and Hannah were responsive, super friendly and provided a stellar pub recommendation just 10mins away. Perfect for family or friends getaway.

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

The cottage was a 2 minute walk from the town centre so very convenient! Our hosts were very responsive and helpful and left us some snacks which were very welcome. If you’re driving I would definitely suggest asking to book the car park available for the duration of your stay because while there is some parking, it’s almost impossible to get a spot! We had an amazing time, thank you!

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

Great host. very helpful and answered very quickly. fantastic house which was very clean and functional.

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 😊

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.

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.

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.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay! The apartment was beautiful and super clean. I mostly appreciated the detailed check in instructions and additional helpful information from the hosts, such as a close parking lot. The hosts also responded so quickly to my questions, would highly recommend!

A great stay, thank you. Super clean, quiet and convenient. Parking was a massive help. We enjoyed Snobby’s for dinner and Burra for breakfast; both delicious and recommended in Tom’s clear instructions. It all worked a treat!

Beautiful place in an excellent location. Well Equipped. Close to Malvern Hills attractions. Walkable to shops and restaurants. Lovely garden to enjoy a nice glass of wine after a busy day exploring. It was well equipped with everything we needed.

Oana and Stefan are such generous hosts and could not have been more welcoming! All possible needs for a comfortable stay were anticipated and met. The studio is delightful and it was a great pleasure to live there for a couple of days. Not, alas, long enough to make much impact on the wealth of books and snacks provided; maybe next time ...

It’s our 2nd time staying and won’t be our last! Carol and Richard are the perfect hosts and we are so pleased to have found this gem. It’s a great location for exploring the city and an absolutely beautiful flat, so thoughtfully designed with lots of special touches. Would highly recommend.

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!

What an amazing AirBnB stay! The flat was stunning, historic, beautifully eccentric, well appointed, comfortable, and well located. What more could you ask for? My family loved it and would absolutely stay here again when back in Bath. ❤️

We had a great stay at this lovely apartment. It’s stylishly decorated, well-equipped, and just a short walk from the centre of town. The cot and high chair provided were perfect for our 1.5-year-old, and everything was very comfortable and easy. Check-in instructions were clear and straightforward. Parking outside the apartment was full when we arrived on Friday evening, which made unloading a little tricky, but there was space on Sunday when we left so it may just have been the timing. Overall, a really nice base for our weekend and we’d definitely 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!
