We stayed in this lovely, modern lodge and honestly, it was really well done. The place was spotless and super comfy, with high-quality fixtures and fittings. It’s tucked away in a quiet spot, which was perfect for us. The only tiny gripe was the cheese grater-just being picky! Definitely planning to come back soon!

We had such a lovely stay! The lodge was really stunning and felt super luxurious, perfect for a Christmas getaway. The hot tub was a highlight after a long walk in the woods. And it’s great they’re dog friendly - no worries about our pup at all. Brilliant!

The beds were firmer than what we're used to, so it took us a bit to settle in and get a good sleep. The sofas are really nice but quite low, which was a bit tricky given one of us has arthritis in their knees. Still, lovely lodges and a cute garden for the dog!

We really enjoyed our stay! The lodge was spotless, super comfy and the hot tub was a highlight.
Only suggestion is adding a screen around the hot tub for a bit more privacy. Thanks!

Honestly, the lodges are top-notch! We stayed in the three-bed, three-bath Wentworth lodge with our dog and it really did blow us away. The decor, appliances and fixtures are all of a really high standard. There’s even a handy guide that explains everything, plus some good recommendations for local spots. Phil was fantastic - quick to help out if we had any issues, though mostly we just forgot to read the guide! Storm Bert tried to spoil our fun, but sitting in the hot tub in the rain was just perfect. We’re already trying to figure out when we can come back again, it was that good!

We had a lovely time at the Avon lodge. The place is super spacious, modern and so clean, with lovely views over the fields. It’s south facing, which means plenty of sunshine and the cosy sofas and beds made it feel really homely. The heating was straightforward to use, so we stayed warm even in November. We loved sitting outside on the deck, especially with the hot tub just a few steps away. The daily checks on the hot tub gave us extra peace of mind. The welcome book was handy, full of useful info about the lodge and what to do nearby. A really relaxing break!

Wow, where do we start? Our recent stay at Forest Hills was honestly one of the best holidays we've had in ages. The location is just perfect-peaceful and private, yet close enough to some stunning spots like Symonds Yat, Brecon Beacons and even the buzz of Bristol and Cardiff, which are only about half an hour away. It’s great for a family trip, but equally suited for a quiet retreat or romantic escape in the Forest of Dean.
The lodge itself was spotlessly clean and really had everything we needed. The cosy central heating controlled via Hive kept us warm and the bedrooms were spacious enough for us all. The bathrooms, one for each room, were pristine and each had a powerful shower which was a real treat after a day out exploring.
Our favourite part was definitely the open-plan living space - it’s huge! We loved being able to cook, play games and watch movies all together in one area. The smart TV with a soundbar was a lifesaver for Halloween movies and the kids loved the sweets the owners kindly brought round on the evening of the 31st. Such a lovely touch!
Speaking of the owners, they are genuinely fantastic. They came to check we were settled in when we arrived and popped by with treats for the kids - you don't always get that level of personal care. The grounds are immaculate and peaceful, perfect for relaxing or exploring nature right on your doorstep.
All in all, a brilliant place to make family memories. We’re already planning our next visit - we’re definitely coming back! Forest Hills made our holiday extra special and we’ll cherish these moments forever. Thanks again for such a memorable stay!

We had a fantastic time! There’s so much to explore around the area, but honestly, relaxing in the lodge’s hot tub was a real highlight. Perfect for our family, ranging from 55 to 83, as there’s plenty of space to hang out together or have some quiet time alone. We’re already planning to come back soon!

We really enjoyed our stay here with the dogs. The outdoor green spaces are perfect for walks and the lodge’s roomy enough for them to move around comfortably. It’s a shame dogs aren’t allowed in the bedrooms because of the carpet, but they did give a nice dog bowl, which was a lovely touch. Definitely recommend!

The cottage itself is adorable, with charming timber-framed walls and a cosy vibe that instantly felt like home. The shower was powerful and the bed super comfy.

Would definitely recommend!

We had a lovely week here from 15 to 22 July with our two mini dachshunds, who absolutely loved the place! They made loads of new friends in the charming village of Thaxted. The cottage itself is really cosy and the hot tub was a real treat, especially during those scorching days when the water was nice and cool - very refreshing. The hosts were super friendly and welcoming, which made us feel right at home. Watching the planes land from the nearby flight path was pretty interesting too. We’d definitely recommend this spot - we’ll be back!
