Cottage vacation rentals in Puzzle Wood

We had a wonderful family stay at the Old Feedhouse. The house was beautiful and just the right size for us and the two grandmas. The kitchen was well equipped and the lovely little extras and details were really appreciated. Our eight year old loved her special bedroom and there were plenty of places to keep clothes for our five night stay. The garden was lovely and the hot tub was fab. We used it every day in sun and rain! We had trips to Worcester by boat (thanks to Severn Expeditions - brilliant family business, so helpful and genuine), Tewkesbury, Simmonds Yat, the Forest of Dean, West Midlands Safari Park and found lots of lovely places to eat and plenty of takeaways too. Claudia was a wonderful host and very responsive and thoughtful. Highly recommend - we’ll be booking again!

Lovely stay for the weekend - it’s really beautiful and well appointed. Spotless and spacious. Communication before arrival was excellent. I scraped my ankle and the hosts provided plasters promptly which was much appreciated. Bath was also very comfy, a real treat as we don’t have one! Would definitely recommend.

A beautiful well appointed cottage, lovely and clean with comfortable beds. The hot tub in the well kept private garden was a bonus. Poppy was responsive to questions and queries and had left some lovely personal touches to make check nice and smooth. Bath is just a short drive and there are lots of local pubs for a lovely meal out. The surrounding area was quiet and beautiful. We would definitely go back.

A Lovely peaceful place to stay, we really enjoyed the hot tub and bubbles left by Ben. Quick response from Ben on sorting the loss of Internet.

A fantastic stay in a wonderful property! Dawn’s place really felt like home; the building has been lovingly rebuilt from the ground up to give a truly great place to stay which is clean and comfortable with great amenities, especially the hot tub! Would highly recommend!

Lovely little cottage in a mostly peaceful plot with a nice chilled garden. Would stay again. Only downside for us was a bit of road noise but that's a risk with old cottages so near the road so we were aware in advance of the risk. Carley was friendly and attentive. Would recommend.

A beautiful little gem, the view is amazing we had a very relaxing weekend and will definitely be back

The place was great, exactly what we hoped for and all we could have asked. We couldn’t find anywhere that would deliver food, but there’s a town about 10 minutes drive away with plenty of take away and supermarkets to stock up yourself. Well equipped kitchen with full fridge freezer and oven so if you do stock up you don’t need to go out again.

James was very responsive when we had trouble finding the place (due to technical problems accessing the airbnb website with the full address). He stayed on the phone with us as we drove and gave us instructions. The place was very homey and comfortable, mostly clean, with the exception of minor issues. Some small amount of mould in one of the bathrooms. There was a homemade cake for us which was delicious. We had a great time staying there.

There are SuperHosts and then there’s Pete!! What a star - he likes to chat to newcomers if he can, and we found him full of really useful info. He even managed to get us a table at the local pub, The White Horse. It was packed, but the service and food were excellent. He also recommended a walk up to the Kymin, which was fantastic - what a view. Pete also gave us the most generous welcome basket of goodies we’ve ever had!! All in all, the perfect, peaceful, pad in a great location to get anywhere in the Wye valley, Forest of Dean or wider Monmouthshire. And Pete!

Wonderful long weekend at Flagstone Cottage, the most peaceful place we’ve ever been, no car noises whatsoever and beautiful scenery. Cottage was exactly as described. We asked for the BBQ to come back out and Clare actually brought out all the outside furniture for us to use which was a nice surprise when we got back from our day trip. Our 5yo daughter loved the mezzanine bedroom and being able to have multiple baths a day (we only have a shower at home). The walk from Llanthony Priory up Hatterhall hill is amazing and the pint in the priory grounds at the end was very scenic and rewarding! Hay-On-Wye is well worth a visit, Abergavenny also.

We loved the cottage ,so clean and comfortable and the garden/stream /swing and animals were a real hit with the children. We were made to feel very welcome -homemade cake ,lovely coffee ,bread and eggs ,such a nice touch with Easter eggs for the kids . Thank you Tracey and Dave .

We stayed for 2 nights at Sharon’s place and were very happy with everything about the house and area. I had not realised how rural the village was and loved the views from the back door watching the sun rise over the hill. The house was spotless and well appointed. The welcome pack was a nice touch although we had brought food with us. The beds and bedding were very comfortable. We had an Indian takeaway from Merthyr Tydfil the first night which we collected. Only 18 minutes drive away, then cooked the second night. Plenty of utensils in the kitchen. We loved the drive over the moors with the fabulous views and had a wonderful hike in the Brecon Beacons. We also visited Brecon and enjoyed having a look around d the shops. Sharon was very responsive and able to give recommendations. We would recommend to anyone planning to explore the area.

Beautiful location, so peaceful and relaxing. Property is first class and matches its surroundings. Beautiful.

What a lovely cottage , situated in an outstanding area of great walks , canoeing and pubs all within easy walking distance. The cottage is cosy and has everything you need including the necessary, wifi, a bluetooth speaker, open fire and nice touches like torches for walking in the evening. The Ye olde Ferrie boat Inn has a great atmosphere and good food and outdoor seating by the river. Dog Friendly inside too. This is only 10 min walk from the cottage. The Saracens head is on the other side of the river . They do have a hand ferry but only in peak season, so otherwise it is an hour walk up the river to the footbridge 30 mins( which is a modern style rope type bridge which is exciting) and then back along the river to the pub 30 mins. Coming back in the dark was fine and under the stars and listening to all the wildlife in the Forest was quite magical. Also dog friendly , so you can choose how energetic you want to be for your lunch or evening meals! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The bungalow is clean, comfortable and provided all that we needed for a short Easter break. The living area was equipped with all the basics, as well as with free Wi-fi and Netflix, although no other channels were available. The tv was small (32"), especially when seated on the sofa or armchair. During our three night stay, the local Forest School and Oakraven Centre had children attending courses, so there was something of a mini 'Rush hour' in the morning and evening. It was not a problem but required wariness for walkers and opposing traffic in a single track road. The woodland walks locally are good and plentiful, Lorraine providing good guidelines to other attractions and trails. A beautiful area.

Lovely place to stay while visiting family nearby! Ann was incredibly kind and helpful and having a bed rail and stair gate was a really helpful bonus! We had a lovely stay and would happily use again!

We had such a lovely stay here! The place was really pretty and peaceful—perfect for a quiet getaway. It felt really secluded and private, surrounded by beautiful countryside and farm animals, which made it feel extra special. There was also a lovely walk to a nearby pub, which was a great bonus. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a relaxing escape in nature!

Loved Little Pippins. Cosy with it's wood-burner, comfortable Superking bed, well equipped kitchen - and gorgeous views over Avening. Great location, friendly & helpful host.

We greatly enjoyed our brief retreat at this nice and charming Cotswold Cottage, off the beaten track. Very nice accommodation, immediately felt "like home". Very well equipped (though we didn't make use of the cooking facilities...) and also top regarding heating, insulation, internet access ... And the recommended "King's Head" pub around the corner was excellent (with the unexpected benefit of live music on Saturday evening...). Nice hiking/rambling options, too.

We had the most amazing stay to celebrate our Honeymoon. The cottage was beyond our expectations - felt like we were living in a fairytale. Martin had left lots of useful information about the local area which we used to plan our days and get the most out of our time in the Cotswolds. The cottage itself had everything you could possibly need for the most relaxing, peaceful stay. A trip we will never forget! Thank you for letting us experience a little cottage life with such breathtaking views all around! We cannot wait to visit again!

Extremely well serviced upon arrival , milk ,breakfast cereal ,lots of bathroom products and cleaners for kitchen surfaces , was given exact directions being a 15 min walk to local pub the property gives easy access to Cardiff and points of interest locally also within a couple of hours to the Cotswolds and Wye valley .

Lovely place to stay in a beautiful location. Cottage was clean and cosy, really appreciated the welcoming food left for us, brownies were great! Surrounding area was great to explore. Friendly host, loved our stay and would definitely return again. Thanks!

We had a cosy stay. We loved the light, airy, oak beamed sun room with underfloor heating. Lots of hot water for showers and baths. Enjoyed the Aga, (would like more time to get used to cooking on it..... but a managed a tarte Tintin.) Serena very helpful and friendly, will answer questions. When we arrived the fire was lit and bread, milk, eggs, crisps and biscuits had been kindly left. There were staples in the cupboard which was very handy.
