Our Gloucestershire holiday cottages and cabins are full of personality. Lakeside lodges, forest hideaways, beautifully converted barns and romantic treehouses each offer something truly special.
Inside, you’ll find calming interiors, plush furnishings and those little luxuries that make a break feel unforgettable – hot tubs with hillside views above Cheltenham, saunas for slow mornings, and firepits perfect for cosying up with a loved one as the sun goes down.
Each retreat has been chosen for its location too – beside peaceful lakes where you can try watersports, deep in the forest surrounded by birdsong, or nestled in the rolling hills with views that stretch for miles. These are stays that pair luxury with the beauty of the great outdoors, offering a taste of Cotswold charm and Forest of Dean tranquillity.
