Holiday rentals with lake access in Forest of Dean

Absolutely loved our few days away! Can’t believe we didn’t know about this place before… so much to do for an active family. Great house with everything we needed (so helpful to have little things like sugar/washing up liquid etc so we didn’t have to bring everything with us!). Will definitely return!

We had a lovely stay at the cottage. The house was really lovely and well equipped for 3 families all staying together. The Estate was lovely and the facilities great, although you meed to remember to book things like the Spa we'll in advance and the pool and pizza. I wouldn't hesitate to return.

We had a wonderful time. The place is lovely and much nicer and bigger than the photos in my opinion. The host was really responsive and helpful. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a trip with friends or family. Kitchen has more than enough glasses/pots/pans etc which was really helpful when cooking a meal for 6. Lovely space and I will be back :-)

We had a wonderful time here and would love to come again! The house is very clean, comfortable and incredibly well stocked with everything you could need from life jackets to a picnic rug to board games to a slow cooker! We loved using the free swimming pool everyday and had fun exploring on the kayaks and having BBQs in the evening sun on the terrace. The beds were incredibly comfy too. Highly recommend!!

Couldn’t recommend more. We had a great stay! Hosts were very communicative and proactive from the beginning and made our stay very enjoyable. The house was gorgeous, well prepared and we felt right at home.

Excellent accommodation - felt great to be there ! Di was pro-active in advising about the fishing pass, which enabled John to fish in the lake and catch 2 trout- wonderful for him ! The rest of party really enjoyed the house - real quality and great feel good factor. Everything we needed in the kitchen. Also, fab environment with lots to do. Wonderful walk along the canal towpath and back by Lake 6 and then on Easter Sunday a tasty and friendly cooked breakfast at the Gateway Cafe. All our expectations exceeded !!

Lovely place right on the water. Looks better than the photos. Had everything we needed in a great location with access to pool and with onsite restaurant and little shop. Perfect for a get away would come again

Beautiful place to stay, very helpful information folder of the area. You could walk or drive to restaurants/bar. If the weather had been better we would have explored the lakes more. But we got out and about . Very clean and tidy place and everything inside that you could possibly want. We would definitely stay again . Thanks Frannie x

I have just got back and it was a wonderful little apartment, just on part of the top floor of their beautiful home, in the Hereford countryside with beautiful views, also beautiful gardens and a lake you can wonder around. also lots of friendly animals too! Peter met us on arrival and was very friendly. a little slow to respond with message initially but not a major problem. would definitely return.

Very well appointed flat, very clean, very helpful hosts, great location in a great city. Would definitely stay here again!

The flat is lovely. The views are stunning and the surrounding area great for walks. If you want peace and tranquility this is the place for you. Mandy is very helpful, and quick to respond. I would recommend staying here.

Beautiful apartment with everything u need. Right next to the ocean, u could hear the waves in the night coming in. Would recommend :)

Jane was an excellent host and responded to my enquiries before booking and whilst we were there. The apartment is bright and airy with a perfect balcony where you can watch the sun go down whilst listening to the birds. The spa on site is great, outdoor pool is a little fresh! You need to book a slot in advance in busy periods but Jane will send you all the details you need. We had a really relaxing stay and would stay again.

Geoffrey's place was a beautiful apartment with stunning views, especially the sunset. amazing to relax at the end of the day on the balcony. Top tier! Geoffrey was great and super helpful. He left breakfast and everything we could possibly need to cook and make ourselves at home. Would 100% recommend and if the time came would definitely stay again. Thanks heaps!

A cosy, clean and comfortable place to stay. Powerful shower. Nice dining area. Very friendly host and good food from the chip shop. Nice little high street and pretty walk around the lake.

Had a perfect weekend away here! Was asked super last minute to attend an event not too far away, booked this place a few hours before turning up and it was a gem of a find! Nothing negative to comment on, keen on going back there again later in the year :)

We had a wonderful stay at Aston House in the beautiful Lower Mill Estate. We were a group of 8 adults, 2 children, and a dog, and the house fitted us all comfortably with plenty of space to relax and unwind after busy days exploring. The living areas were perfect for chilling out and watching TV together. The location was ideal too – just a 30-minute walk along the Thames Path to The White Hart, which was a great bonus. The hosts were extremely responsive and provided clear, helpful instructions throughout. Highly recommend!

We had a lovely stay - everything was just as described and the hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable house in beautiful surroundings.

The pictures really don’t do the cottage justice, the grounds are absolutely beautiful. I’d definitely recommend taking Jane’s advice and visiting Arrow Mill, and it’s well worth making the short 10-minute drive to Hiller’s Farm Shop. Jane was also incredibly kind and supportive during an unexpected emergency that caused us to leave a night early. She’s a truly caring and attentive host. We had a lovely stay and would happily return!

We had a lovely family stay. The cottage and esp the hot tub were fab. Lots for the kids to play with and do, and nice to chill out

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.

Great place to stay, we took day trips to Salisbury, Cheltenham and Bath. All were within easy reach. Such a peaceful and relaxing place to stay. Homely & well-equipped. Note that to use the indoor pool you have to ring them or walk over at 10:30 in the morning to book a 1 hour slot for the next day. Would definitely recommend staying here. We are looking forward to coming back.

Delightful, spacious and well maintained cottage in the centre of Brecon. Everything was very comfortable with carefully chosen antiques and probably every book written about Wales. The location was just perfect for me and was easy to find. Sally was a great host!

Jason was the perfect host. Great communication and the house was just great with all the touches of making sure our stay was as perfect as possible. It’s such a great base for being able to enjoy the surroundings. Our kids had the best time being able to use the estates facilities all as part of our stay at the cottage. Would definitely recommend.
