Looking for a stylish holiday let in The Forest of Dean?

Enjoy laidback luxury in a creative and peaceful eco-retreat. Nestled on a hillside, this single-storey lodge offers a tranquil escape - ideal for a romantic getaway, a style-conscious family-friendly adventure or a solo retreat. Its calming interiors, mid-century furniture, lush indoor plants and sumptuous finishes create a space that feels both homely and indulgent. Your private, light-filled retreat features two bedrooms, a generous shower room, and an open-plan lounge, kitchen, and dining area.

A spacious patio and dining area overlook terraced gardens and breathtaking scenery - a sight that makes you drop your shoulders, take a big sigh out, and let go of all that you’ve left behind. The tree canopy and expansive views hold you in the landscape, as the sliding door dissolves the boundary between inside and out. Spiral steps lead you down past wildflower borders and edible plants to a private sunny lawn and an outdoor deep-soak bathtub for two. Below, a wilder space awaits, with a fire pit for stargazing or outdoor cooking if the mood takes you.

The decor has a homely mid-century vibe, with pieces by Heals, G-plan and Iversen set off by modernist inspired fabrics, rustic ceramics and Scandi kitchen details. The plants aren’t just outside either! Our love for all things green and leafy meant we indulged our passion for indoor plants so you can relax, shower and sleep amongst funky foliage.

The layout is wheelchair accessible from the ramped entranceway through to spacious wet room, open-plan living space and out to the patio area.

A kitchen ready for keen cooks yet also perfect for an easy meal after a day of exploring.

It features a Neff hide-and-slide oven, rapid AEG induction hob, slimline dishwasher, sharp prep knives, and all the tools you’d miss from home. Coffee enthusiasts can enjoy a burr grinder, Aeropress, cafetiΓ¨re, and stovetop options.

On arrival, a welcome hamper awaits with local delightsβ€”sourdough bread, Netherend butter, Chase Farm milk, Kontext coffee and local eggs (or dietary alternatives). There are essentials like olive oil, spices, and teas, plus the freezer holds Plump Hill Farm extras via our honesty bar.

We can also help arrange delivery of other delicious foods from trusted local growers and producers, from honey and chocolate, to cheese and charcuterie. Just ask!
