Searching for somewhere off the beaten track? It’s time to stop scrolling. Nestled in the Forest of Dean, this home has tranquillity at its core. Perfect for a family, four-legged friends included, the fully-fenced garden offers somewhere to sit back and listen to the sound of nature – just keep an eye on children and dogs, as although the trout pond is fenced with gated access, you can never be too safe. Exploring locally, you can take to the trails through the forest where if you’re lucky, you may even spot some wild boar and deer.

Wild Boar & Trout Pond

Get off the beaten track at this remote retreat set deep within the Herefordshire countryside, close to the Welsh border. Originally the farm's dairy, it's been lovingly converted from a derelict outbuilding to stylish home from home in just a few short years.

Inside, discover a cute contemporary farmhouse style, with beautiful natural stone flooring, a sleek kitchen and an inviting seating area placed within warming distance of the wood burner.

Step through to the bedroom, where you'll find a comfortable bed with a skylight above, perfect for stargazing, and an elegant freestanding bathtub for indulgent evening pampering sessions.

The star of the show has got to be the wood-fired hot tub, with views across to the Monnow Valley. Spend your days hiking through the hills with your dogs, before hosing them down at the outside tap and jumping into the warm water – we can't help but feel that the dog's getting the raw end of the deal here.

Speaking of walks, there are plenty of public footpaths that pass across the farm, with your hosts able to provide OS maps and walking books should you need them. If you want to venture further afield, why not head up the Skirrid, Sugar Loaf and Black Mountains – all viewable from the garden.


Cider House Rules

Brimming with character, this honey-hued stone cottage is the definition of a Cotswolds charmer. Inside, a cosy fireplace sets the scene for a relaxing stay. We love the mix of traditional features alongside the more contemporary touches – the kitchen is particularly modern and has all the essentials you’ll need. Step outside and you’ll find a small but sunny garden, perfect for morning coffees and evening cocktails. Location-wise, Chipping Campden is 1.5 miles away and offers a range of independent shops, village pubs, and pretty walks through the surrounding countryside.

Primrose & Honey

Staying in this charming Cotswolds cottage can make you feel like you’re a character from a Jane Austen novel. Located in a wonderfully secluded part of Wiltshire and surrounded by sprawling fields and farm animals, this home is a rural sanctuary of calm. French doors merge the comfortable living room with the natural light and country air of the outdoors – it's the perfect spot for relaxing with a good book, playing games or rustling up a home-cooked meal while socialising with friends and family. Grab a glass of your favourite and sit out on the garden patio, which overlooks picturesque views of the verdant valley. In the mood for exploring? This location gives you easy access to countless walking trails, and when you’re not wandering the fields or following footpaths, there’s a host of traditional pubs and local restaurants to take your fancy. While you’re here, it’s worth visiting the nearby towns of Malmesbury and Tetbury – and check your calendar, maybe your stay overlaps with the famed Badmiton Horse Trials or Tetbury Woolsack Race. 

Penny-Farthing

With an idyllic location in the heart of the Forest of Dean, this coach house offers a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature. As well as a private terrace, this home has access to a shared garden, swimming pool and tennis court. Inside, the living room is on the first floor and has high ceilings and antique furniture (the main bedroom is also on this floor), while the ground level is home to the kitchen and bedroom two. This place is the perfect spot for families and friends to unwind.

Staunton Splendour

Set in the heart of the Forest of Dean, this cottage is a peaceful retreat surrounded by rolling fields and woodland. Step outside to a garden with sweeping views, perfect for coffee at sunrise, leisurely lunches, or stargazing at night. Explore nearby walking trails, cycle through quiet lanes, or visit historic towns and National Trust sites within easy reach. With total privacy and a serene countryside setting, this is a home for those looking to unwind, reconnect with nature, and enjoy a slower pace of life in one of England’s most beautiful landscapes.

A Rural Haven

On arrival at this beautiful A-frame cottage, you’ll be greeted with stunning views across the Wye Valley and a couple of bottles of local ale from your host’s favourite brewery. A wall of glass opens up the living room to the valley beyond and the morning mist tumbling between forests and fells is quite a sight from this hilltop location. Come nightfall, you’re far from civilisation so the sky speckles with a blanket of stars – spot constellations from the warmth of the wood-fired hot tub outside or walk to Michelin-star restaurant The Whitebrook, fifteen minutes away. Wandering through the wildflower-strewn garden you’ll find a picnic bench and barbecue for hazy summer days outdoors and rambling walks across the countryside start from just outside the door. Back inside, we love the collection of holiday reads, tucked into bookshelves below the raised bed in the studio. Toys in the living room and bunkbeds in the second bedroom let you know this place is family-friendly too. 

Wye Valley View

Offering peace, privacy and beautiful views, this home is a natural haven in the Forest of Dean. Crafted in the 1800s from local stone, there’s a wonderful sense of tradition here along with all the home comforts you could need for a cosy stay. Inside, there’s a wood-burning stove and plenty of space to cook, relax and socialise. There’s also a snug mezzanine level which can double up as a sleeping area for two guests. And when it comes to adventures, you’ll be spoiled for choice. Follow hiking trails straight form the door, explore the nearby Forest of Dean Sculpture Trail or head further afield to Cinderford and Ross-on-Wye. 

The Zion Chapel

With a gothic spin, this stone-built cottage has become a Worcester favourite for a unique, romantic trip. Tiny but beautiful, it's bursting with period charm and features arched windows, exposed timbers, a statement fireplace and a luxurious clawfoot tub alongside quirky decorative touches. Outside, near a stream, seating allows for alfresco meals and sunset drinks in the hot tub, and the on-site orchard is ripe for fruit picking. Your host can also arrange for a private chef or measures to take the weekend to the next level.

The Briar Rose

Enjoy a romantic stay at this handsome barn conversion, lying at the end of a track, on a family-run arable farm, surrounded by fields – this is a sublime retreat. Relax with a glass of bubbly in the private hot tub with its idyllic views through the farm to the fields beyond (your lovely hosts provide bathrobes and slippers), then savour a barbecue lunch in the sun. It's also the perfect spot to do a bit of stargazing when the night skies are clear and full of sparkling diamonds. Beautiful bi-fold doors provide plenty of light inside this single-level barn, which was once a grain store. We love the gorgeous stone floor and exposed wooden roof beams framing the high ceiling. A fresh colour scheme of pale cream, yellows and greys complement the rustic yet stylish design. If you can tear yourself away from this love nest, there's plenty to explore. Go for a walk to the historic riverside village of Bidford-on-Avon, sixteen minutes on foot, where you'll find an array of charming pubs, restaurants, shops, and a picturesque church built in 1250. Or visit Shakespeare's Stratford-upon-Avon, around a twenty-five-minute drive, while stunning Warwick Castle is a few minutes more in the car. The magnificent Cotswolds are on your doorstep too – Hidcote Manor Garden, near Chipping Campden, just over a fifteen-minute ride, which has one of Britain's most influential Arts and Crafts gardens.

Shakespearean Elegance

Nestled on a ridge in the glorious Herefordshire countryside, gazing out towards Ross on Wye and beyond, this beautiful cottage is the ultimate rural escape. With charm and elegance oozing from its walls, you can’t help but fall a little bit in love with this home from the moment you step foot inside. The main living room boasts oak beams and a traditional fireplace – just the spot to hunker down with loved ones during winter months, relaxing as the fire crackles and casts an amber glow around the room. Step to the patio doors, and you’re greeted with stunning countryside vistas as far as the eye can see. 

Not to be outdone, the outdoor space is perfect for warmer months – light the barbecue and settle down on the locally made pine table and benches (salvaged from the owner’s woodland) for an alfresco meal to remember. The peace and quiet in this location is something you’ll savour, with the delicate notes of birdsong providing the soundtrack to your stay. As daylight fades, soak up the sunset from either the courtyard terrace or orchard – if it starts to get a little chilly, the fire pit is ready and waiting to warm you up as you watch the sky dance through an array of colours. With comfort at its core and thoughtful touches throughout, this cottage will live long in your memory, even after you’ve returned home. 

Scenic Serenity

Escape to the Gloucestershire countryside with this modern holiday home located in the quaint village of Longhope. Take in the views of the meadows and fields from the hot tub and patio while listening to the babbling brook below. Or keep the kids entertained with the table tennis set, as well as the arcade and board games in the games room. The open-plan lounge has a welcome wood-burning stove for cooler days and a modern kitchen, while the dining table overlooks the garden and vistas. Perfectly located with a convenience shop, bakery and pub within walking distance, this Forest of Dean location means there’s plenty to see and do in the locale.
