Forest of Dean District : séjours à la ferme

I had a beautiful time at the Stables! It’s a getaway from the world at a working farm. I love animals, so I asked to meet some of them, and Yvonne took me to see (and pet!) the milking cows, and explained the entire process to me! The house had traditional charm but was has been updated everywhere that it counts. They have lists of local recommendations but I was happy to get groceries and use the excellent kitchen at the property. I did not have a car and was warned about difficulty getting around but as I was only interested in nature and peace and quiet, getting to and from on public transport was easy enough. Finally, Yvonne was always prompt responding to me and was very friendly and welcoming! I’d love to come back!

We are students in Manchester, and we came here to relax after the stress and exhaustion of studying. We found Lucy’s home to be a beautiful and peaceful place, well worth the trip. The hosts were friendly, helpful, and wonderful. We highly recommend this place!

Wonderful weekend in a stunning house with family. Spotlessly clean and comfortable. Lovely walks and pub lunch nearby. Hermione responded instantly to any queries. Would stay again.

A second very comfortable stay, thank you! This is a beautiful, well equipped, spotlessly clean and comfy property. The hot tub is brilliant, with lovely views over the fields behind. We also appreciated all the thought that has gone into making guests comfortable, from the fresh milk and local cheese in the fridge, to the home made cake, to the stove made up ready to light, and not to forget the extremely comfy beds. Communication was always prompt, friendly and helpful - we were very grateful for the flexibility around check in and check out times. We will hope to come back!

We had a wonderful stay at Judith’s. The property is immaculate and clean and host is incredibly helpful and great at answering messages. We were even left some biscuits and arrived to a cosy fire. Great location as only a 20 min drive to Hay on Wye. Will definitely be back.

Really great stay with a group of friends for a wedding nearby. Had everything we needed and a great space to hang out

Lovely couple of days stay, barn was nice and clean on arrival couldn’t get over how fantastic the views are. Lots of walks in nearby area. Great accommodation to take kids and dogs as lovely big garden. Can recommend The Royal Oak pub for food in Tetbury and Lower Woods to explore with kids/dogs. Would definitely come back and stay again but for longer next time :) Thankyou.

Our stay was everything we expected and the comfortable little Snug was surprisingly spacious and well equipped. It is lovely to have both the privacy of a separate entry and garden, but also the feel of staying in a friendly and family focused farm environment which is set in stunning landscape. The wood burner was a treat although the Snug was very warm. Lots of maps left to aid walking and ideas for getting out and about. It was lovely to be there to see the spring burst into life around the glorious hillsides. The local nature reserve is just magical. We saw wild daffodils young Ransoms, emerging Bluebells, orchids just bursting into leaf, birds being very busy and trees starting to open their leaf buds. Mushrooms too. Ellie who hosted our visit was welcoming, helpful and nice to chat to. We will keep this on our return soon list.

A really nice place, with a great host!

Beautiful converted barn with stunning scenery, especially on the very sunny weekend we visited. Great location for travelling into Bourton-on-the-Water. The barn had everything we needed and Sarah was really proactive in communicating with us about directions and accessing the barn.

There were four of us, all adults who used the accommodation for two nights for a local running event. Perfect for the four of us. Would suit up to 5 adults and 1 child. Utility room very useful for those who are into out door sports, washing machine excellent. Downstairs perfect for a group, spacious and comfortable. Kitchen well equipped. Very clean and comfortable. Quite and beautiful views, off the beaten track; the main town is about a 20-25 minutes drive and the roads fairly narrow, takes longer in the dark and fog/mist. This suited us, but make sure you take provisions. There's a well stocked Co-op in Crickhowell. We ran the Black Mountains nearby and I absolutely loved the area, remote and perfect for our 20 and 40 mile running event. Would highly recommend and Hannah was welcoming, and communicated quickly.

We stayed here as we were working in the area and it was the perfect base. The accommodation was clean and matched the description. It was well equipped with lots of personal touches including breakfast which was lovely. The location was ideal and we would definitely stay here again!

Was perfect for a Valentines getaway! We are so grateful to Sam and Adrian for extending their hospitality, they truly went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and to make sure we had plenty of information about the surrounding area! We have to give our thanks also to William who provided lots of snacks and drinks through his tuck shop :) The barn itself was cosy yet spacious, the bed was super comfortable and water pressure in the shower was decent. The kitchen was fully-equipped for us to make a beef wellington on Valentines night!! Even the temperatures were near freezing - that didn’t stop us from taking full advantage of the fire place out on the patio! Overall we had a wonderful stay and would love to come and stay again! Thank you again Sam, Adrian and William!

ฉันประทับใจตั้งแต่ครั้งแรกที่เดินเข้าบ้านบรรยากาศดีอบอุ่นใกล้ใกล้บ้านมีน้ำตกเล็กๆให้ดูเจ้าของบ้านให้การต้อนรับเป็นอย่างดีครอบครัวของฉันได้ลืมแจ็คเก็ตเจ้าของบ้านส่งข้อความมาบอกฉันเจ้าของบ้านดีมากเค้าบอกว่าเค้ายินดีที่จะส่งแจ็คเก็ตกลับมาให้ฉันเมื่อฉันมีเวลาฉันจะกลับไปอีกแน่นอน

We had such a lovely stay at Catherine's. Its a beautiful and cleverly converted, cosy little barn that was really pleasant to stay in. The location is very private and we really felt like we had the space to ourselves. Everything we could possibly need was provided including a welcome basket and a pint of milk. Catherine's communication was excellent including updates on local road works and she made sure we had a space to park. With plenty of good places to eat nearby, wonderful views and lots of interesting sites to visit it's a cracking location. Can highly recommend!

This was a great find. We wanted a winter getaway with our dogs and this delivered. It is a beautiful and quirky space whilst being very well appointed with a gorgeous log burner. The hosts couldn't be more helpful. A wonderful relaxing few days.

We had a brilliant few days away! If you are looking for tranquillity, peace and quiet in an idyllic setting, you will not be disappointed. The Barn overlooked the pond, so we spent some time bird watching as we sat out on the decking during breakfast and in the evening. We stayed in The Barn, there is also The Leat next door, which we would consider, if you wanted to take additional family members. The property had everything you would need for a comfortable stay. This was the perfect location for sightseeing the surrounding area. Natalie, the host, ensured that our stay at The Barn went smoothly before and on arrival with information regarding check-in and check-out. This was a holiday break for my elderly mother-in-law, myself & my wife. We needed everything on one level with separate bedrooms/bathrooms/showers, this property met those needs. Thank you Natalie for an amazing time at this stunning property and for looking after us.

Carol’s place is very comfortable and luxurious - just as described in the listing. It’s a perfect location within walking distance of all the amenities in the lovely village of Marshfield and close to Bath and Bristol. Highly recommended.

we stayed for 3 nights with our 2 dogs. location was excellent, good walking opportunities. the interior of the barn was exceptional - a superbly designed and well thought out conversion. all amenities were excellent, had everything we needed. would definitely stay again. Lynn was friendly and communicative

Maggie was very welcoming and the house had everything we needed. It was clean and comfortable. The village is lovely and it was nice to come back to a quiet place to stay after visiting Bath during the day. We would definitely stay again.

My huso and I truly enjoyed our stay in the Old Barn House. The place is beautiful, and cosy. The hosts are friendly and even welcomed us with a very nice Apple Crumble cake, orange juice and milk which is always nice to find. The bed is comfy, looking at the cows and birds chirping from the upstairs window was one of my favourite things. We also loved the chimney and the fact we had a couple of hiking trails a couple of steps away from the barn.

Very easy to find. Long bumpy farm track but vehicles didn't have any issues. The barn was lovely, private and peaceful with enclosed gardens and hot tub. Very spacious inside with all amenities you would need. The bath was the biggest bath I've ever seen ! Shower and toilet down stairs in a huge utility. Met Lynsey who was superfriendly and very helpful. Booked in at another one of their properties on same site in a few weeks. Lots of places to walk in beautiful surroundings .

What a gem of a find. Like others have said, a lot bigger than we expected. Beautiful and warm with a wood burner to make it cosy in the evenings but to be quite honest even though it was cold outside ( we even had snow showers) the accommodation is warm enough if you didn’t want to light the woodburner. Bed very comfy with the smell of lovely fresh bed linen. Stella was at hand with a small query that we had . I would highly recommend this place to stay , tucked away with walks for the dogs just outside the door . My first words when we unlocked the door and walked in were; “ oh this is lovely, we always choose nice places “. Thankyou Stella

The place was lovely and we really enjoyed our stay there. A crazy amount of positives.
