Unplug, Unwind, and Explore the Forest of Dean
Tucked away in peaceful woodland, our cosy lodge offers the perfect base to slow down and reconnect with nature. Wake up to beautiful sunrises, explore scenic trails, and end your day under starry skies. Whether you're here for adventure or relaxation, the Forest of Dean is yours to discover.
Welcome to Your Woodland Home-from-Home
Hand built onsite using locally sourced sustainable materials and surrounded by trees, wildflowers, and birdsong, this one-bedroom cabin offers a peaceful retreat in the heart of nature. Designed to feel both homely and special, the space is ideal for couples or solo travellers looking to slow down, unplug, and soak in the beauty of the Forest of Dean.
Inside, the open-plan layout includes a well-equipped kitchen, a dining area, and a cosy lounge—all opening out through bi-fold doors onto a balcony with sweeping views of the Severn Estuary. The bedroom is calm and comfortable, and the modern bathroom features a walk-in shower to refresh after a day of woodland walks.
Whether you’re cooking with the doors open to the breeze, sipping coffee on the balcony, or simply listening to the trees rustle around you, the cabin invites a slower, more natural rhythm. It’s a quiet, welcoming space—handbuilt for rest, reconnection, and forest-side living.
