Hello, I’m Zoe, and the Forest of Dean has always been my home. As a wife and mother of two boys, I know how important it is to find a place where families, couples, and even our four-legged friends can relax, reconnect, and explore.
Our journey with Willow Forest Stays began in 2021, but our passion for creating cosy, welcoming retreats started long before that.
Since 2011, we’ve been welcoming guests at Woodland Barn, offering a dog-friendly peaceful escape in the heart of nature.
We believe holidays should be about comfort, adventure, and making special memories—whether that’s exploring forest trails, soaking in a private hot tub, or curling up with a good book.
Our stays are thoughtfully designed for families, couples, and pet owners who love the perfect blend of outdoor adventure and relaxation.
From our dog-friendly touches to our eco-conscious approach, every detail is crafted with our guests in mind.
We love sharing our insider tips on the best walks, local pubs, and hidden gems, so you can experience the Forest of Dean like a local.

Why they chose this property
The Story Behind Woodland Barn – A Labour of Love
When we first discovered Woodland Barn in 2010, it was little more than a crumbling shell—broken windows, holes in the floor, ivy creeping in through every crack.
Once a stable and hayloft, it had long since fallen into disrepair. But despite its run-down state, there was something undeniably special about it. The charm, the character, and the breathtaking views wrapped around us like a warm embrace.
As James and I stood there, taking it all in, one of us (we still can’t remember who) said, "This would make a great holiday let!" And just like that, the idea took root.
With a vision of creating a dog-friendly peaceful retreat, we poured our hearts into renovating, restoring, and transforming Woodland Barn into the cosy, welcoming escape it is today.
Since 2011, we’ve been opening our doors to guests from all over the UK and beyond, offering a home away from home where families, couples, and their dogs can unwind, explore, and create lasting memories.
For us, it’s always been about more than just providing a place to stay—it’s about sharing the magic of the Forest of Dean, the tranquility of nature, and the joy of reconnecting with loved ones. Whether you’re here for adventure, relaxation, or a little bit of both, we can’t wait to welcome you to Woodland Barn.

What makes this property unique
Woodland Barn – Where Every Stay Comes with a View
At Woodland Barn, the view is everything—ever-changing, always breathtaking. Whether you’re enjoying morning coffee on the private terrace or soaking in the eco hot tub, the landscape is pure magic.
Wake up to frost-kissed fields on crisp winter mornings or watch the mist roll through the valley, making you feel like you’re floating above the world. On clear nights, see the twinkling lights of Gloucester, and on lucky days, spot a hot air balloon drifting along the River Severn. With a keen eye and binoculars, witness the Severn Bore from your terrace—an unforgettable sight.
Your Perfect Base for Adventure & Relaxation
Woodland Barn is perfectly positioned. Tucked away off the main road, it’s just a few minutes' drive from shops, cafés, and restaurants. Our guests love that they can immerse themselves in nature, explore the Forest of Dean, and return to a cosy retreat that feels like a home away from home.
Dog-Friendly Stays with Scenic Walks on Your Doorstep
We know that holidays aren’t complete without your furry friends, so dogs stay free. With a fully enclosed garden and woodland trails just minutes away, your pup will love it too!
Al Fresco Moments & Unforgettable Sunsets
Dining outdoors here is something special. Whether it’s breakfast in the fresh air or a BBQ on the terrace as the sun sets, the views provide the perfect backdrop. Guests often tell us how magical it feels to sit back, relax, and soak in the scenery.
Your peaceful retreat in the Forest of Dean awaits. Come for the views, stay for the memories.
