Luxury 5-Star Cottages in a Private Gloucestershire Hamlet

Welcome to Forest Barns — a private hamlet of five luxury self-catering cottages set at the head of a beautiful valley on the Cotswold edge, in the Forest of Dean.

Sleeping up to 26 guests across five cottages, each with its own private hot tub, Forest Barns is ideal for multi-generational family gatherings, milestone celebrations, retreats, weddings and relaxed countryside stays. Our dining and function spaces mean everyone can come together to eat, celebrate and enjoy time as one group, while still having the privacy of their own cottage.
