We only spent one full day and did not fully experience all that was on offer in the Forest of Dean, however the property was fully equipped and the hosts provided us with abundant and clear information on everything. We were so comfortable and thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

About the host

Hosted by Zoe and James Gilding

Host profile image
We’re Zoe and James, the founders Willow Forest Stays. Wyldwood Cottage is a favourite of ours. Perched on the edge of the forest with lovely views and a quirky upside-down layout, it’s the kind of place where you can curl up, slow down, and let the outside world drift away. We’ve added all the little comforts we’d want ourselves—from a private hot tub and enclosed garden to reclining sofas, superfast Wi-Fi, and a log-effect fire for that cosy evening glow.

As local hosts, we’re always on hand if you need anything—whether it’s help with the hot tub or tips for the best dog-friendly pub nearby.

We can’t wait to welcome you to this hidden gem!

Why they chose this property

We were drawn to Wyldwood Cottage not just for its character, but for its setting—right on the edge of a beautiful nature trail in the Forest of Dean. It’s the kind of place where you can step out of the front door and be straight into the fresh air, with scenic walks and forest views.

The cottage has a lovely, quirky charm with its upside-down layout—living space above to make the most of the light and outlook, and cosy bedrooms below for a peaceful night’s sleep. It felt like the perfect canvas to create something special for couples, families and dogs.

We’ve added all the touches we know make a difference when you’re away: an eco-friendly hot tub for starry soaks, an enclosed garden, comfy reclining sofas, fast Wi-Fi, and a cosy electric fire to curl up beside in the evenings.

It’s peaceful, practical and well placed for exploring the Forest of Dean and surrounding areas. Whether you're heading off for adventures or want to enjoy slow mornings and quiet evenings, Wyldwood Cottage offers that lovely mix of comfort and freedom.

We chose this property because it’s the kind of place we’d return to again and again—and we hope you’ll feel the same.

What makes this property unique

* On the edge of a nature trail - Step straight outside and onto beautiful woodland walks—perfect for peaceful strolls, family adventures, or letting the dogs stretch their legs.

* Quirky upside-down layout - With the living space upstairs to make the most of the light and views, and cosy, cool bedrooms tucked below, Wyldwood offers charm and practicality in equal measure.

* Private hot tub with a view - Soak under the stars in your own private hot tub—ideal for unwinding after a day in the forest. Heated via an air-source heat pump for energy efficiency.

* Fully eco-conscious - The entire property is sustainably heated via an air-source heat pump, providing underfloor heating and warm radiators throughout—perfect for guests who want comfort with a lighter footprint.

Dogs stay free - Bring up to two dogs at no extra cost. With an enclosed courtyard garden, dog-friendly walks from the door, it’s a holiday for them too.

Cosy & connected - Reclining sofas, a log-effect electric fire, superfast Wi-Fi, Smart TV and a plug-friendly dining nook make it easy to relax, work remotely or enjoy a film night.
