Looking for the perfect place to gather the whole gang—family, friends, or that wonderfully chaotic combo of both? Look no further than the Forest of Dean: ancient woodland, wild boar, riverside pubs, and holiday homes so roomy you can actually escape the snorer in the group. Tucked between the Wye Valley and the Severn, this area is ridiculously pretty and packed with things to do, whether you’re an adrenaline junkie, a nature lover, or someone whose ideal holiday involves cheese and a hot tub.
🏡 Big Houses for Big Occasions
The Forest is full of stunning large holiday lets that sleep 10 to 30+. Think:
– Cosy log fires
– Games rooms (Scrabble smack down, anyone?)
– Huge gardens for rounders and wine
– Hot tubs under the stars
– Proper kitchens (for cooking, dancing, or both)
BHHL have wonderful large houses to chhose from. Top picks include Bromsash House, with 6 acres of garden, and Symonds Yat Lodge, perfect for groups who fancy canoeing, climbing, or just chilling with a view.
🌲 Forest Shenanigans
You’re spoilt for choice here:
Puzzlewood – a magical forest straight out of a fantasy film
Go Ape – zipwire your way through the treetops
Canoe the Wye – peace, paddling, and pubs en route
Dean Heritage Centre – for those who like a bit of culture with their cake
And if you're more wild boar than wild child, there’s hiking, birdwatching, and sleepy market towns like Coleford, Ross-on-Wye, and Monmouth full of charm and cake shops.
🍽️ Feed the Masses
Cook up a storm in your big house kitchen, book a private chef for something fancy, or head to a local pub like The Saracens Head for riverside roasts. Don’t forget the Forest Deli in Coleford—cheese lovers, you’re welcome.
If you need a break that mixes laughter, nature and lashings of wine, large holiday homes in the Forest of Dean are the answer. Bring the gang, pack the snacks, and prepare for epic memories (and a LOT of photos).
