Top Hotels Near Dean Forest Railway in Lydney from AU$67

"We booked Lodge Barn for a 60th Birthday and a family gathering. Covering 4 generations and 2 dogs, it was ideal in terms of the facilities, the space available and its location. On arrival there were complimentary tea/coffee and cleaning packs and the place was very clean and warm. All rooms were tidy and well presented with the cleaning team having done a great job in terms of getting the place ready. It was certainly well received by all those coming for the weekend. The kitchen is very spacious and was well used over the weekend, becoming a hub for meals as well as other activities. The close proximity to large supermarkets and pubs meant we had less to bring with us. Numerous places to visit within reasonably short distances meant that everyone could find something to do or to go to if not wanting to walk in the woods which were just at the back of the lodge. The large garden, enclosed apart from some small gaps under the gates, was ideal for the dogs to run around in and in better weather (we were here during a fairly wet February) would be a fantastic area for games, BBQ's etc. We took a stair gate with us to stop the dogs going up the stairs but could have used an extended one as the gap was rather larger than the gate. Our only gripes, all minor and probably reflect the idiosyncrasies of the group were; it was very warm, especially in the kitchen (partially from the Aga), some of the large knives could be sharper and a few more utensils such as ladle's. We had a fantastic time, everyone was very pleased with the accommodation and how well it was maintained and are looking forward to a repeat. We would wholeheartedly recommend a stay at Barn Lodge"

"We booked this last minute when our booking elsewhere was cancelled! What a perfect house for a calm, quiet and chilled half term. Perfect location for walks, bike rides, trips to the FOD! We will definitely be back! The house was cosy & comfortable and had everything we needed. The housekeeper Tracey was very responsive and helpful."

"Lovely clean and tidy cottage. Fantastic access to the forest and great walks from the doorstep. Welcoming hosts!! "

"We have just returned from a beautiful weekend away at this property for my dad’s 70th birthday. The property is really lovely as is the location. Prior to the visit the housekeeper Tracey was so accommodating and helpful too. The only downside is one bathroom and for 6 guests there was often a queue for toilet or shower! Apart from that highly recommend!"

"Beautiful place, very accommodating and will very much attend again. Loved the outdoor space 🩷"

"Absolutely lovely, quirky, and above all cosy cottage. Quite location, but within easy reach of shops and cafes, and only a short drive into the heart of the Forest. Has everything you need and more. Already planning our next visit"

"We stayed in Betty 13th - 15th November. What a beautiful peaceful location! The Hut has everything needed for a comfortable stay, lovely shower room with super water pressure (better than home) and towels, shampoo, body wash, hairdryer etc provided.. The kitchen has everything needed, cooker, hob, microwave, kettle and all the crockery and utensils, they even provided tea, coffee, sugar, milk and biscuits. The kingsized bed is really comfortable, there are some books and games to make use of. There is central heating and also a log burner with logs provided, we used this and it was very toasty. Overall a super comfortable stay, would highly recommend and will be back!"

"We stayed for 3 nights, lovely cottage, great location for everything we wanted to do,( horse riding, canoeing, walking)hot tub a plus at the end of each day!Hosts very friendly.Strongly recommend."

"Big anniversary and loads of guests/family. The property was very adaptable and fulfilled all of our requirements. Lots of room for a fabulous event and the outdoor space overlooking the countryside was lovely in the September sunshine. The booking process from start to finish was seamless. Easy walk downhill to the local pubs, Not so easy walking back, naturally!"
