We only had one day in the Forest of Dean area, so picked Puzzlewood for our six year old; he loved the Easter bunny trail and we all liked the wood itself, but looking at the map, next time I'd go for a forest walk - there are plenty around! Free, too... Our son did love the hay barn (he... More

Puzzlewood is amazing absolutely loved it especially as im a fan of Merlin. This is how i wish all woods were its magical all the moss, gnarly trees and sppoky corners and caves Fantastic will visit again More

From the time that we arrived we felt most welcome and had a really relaxing break. The really amazing thing about staying in the cottage is the fact that... More

We visited with both small children and teenagers and found that there was something for all ages here. Not cheap to get in but then a really good area of natural landscape to explore that is really different to most other places. If you are interested in geology/geography/the natural landscape you will enjoy this. Apparently Tolkein loved this place and... More
