Deanwood Holidays

Deanwood Holidays is home to thirteen self-catering cottages and a quiet caravan and camping site, tucked away in a quiet rural area, on the edge of The Forest of Dean. The cottages have been sympathetically converted from three stable blocks grouped around a central courtyard. Altogether there are 6 two-storey holiday cottages, and 7 ground floor holiday cottages available. They range to accommodate from 2 people up to 5 in a cottage. The ground floor cottages are more suitable for those with reduced mobility.

They are fully equipped for self-catering, and have use of a laundry, and a freezer. Dogs are welcome in 10 of our cottages.

The campsite at the other end of the site, has 40 pitches: 20 for caravans and motorhomes and 20 tent pitches. EHU is available. On site there are modern shower and toilet blocks, and a wash-up and laundry room with fridge and freezer, all free for our guests to use. Free Wifi is available.

From March 2023 Deanwood Campsite has re-opened to include children over the age of three, however, we do ask they are supervised and respectful to other campers who have come to enjoy the tranquility. There is a large playing field at one end with a football net.

The hard standing and grass pitches are mainly level or gently sloping, with panoramic views to the west over the Lyd Valley and beyond. The pitches are well spaced out.

Dogs (kept on leads within the grounds) are welcome, and with direct access into the Forest, there are miles of walks on the doorstep.

This is an ideal campsite for those that love mountain biking in the forest.
