There’s something magical about slowing down by the fire 🔥🤎

Cosy evenings, crackling flames, a warm drink in hand and nowhere else you need to be… ✨

Our holiday cottage is the perfect little escape for switching off, getting cosy and making memories.

Tomorrow is our Charity Day at Puzzlewood!

All profits from the day will be donated to two charities we've chosen to support: Mind and SARA (Severn Area Rescue Association).

Some of the SARA crew will be joining us on the day — do say hello and find out more about the incredible work they do.

Gates open: 10am
Last entry: 3.30pm
Gates close: 5pm

Come and explore, and help support two charities doing such important work in our community.

We look forward to seeing you.

When was the last time you checked how far away the Forest of Dean actually is? 👀

If you're picturing a long road trip, you might be in for a surprise. 🚗 👇

📍 Bristol – around 1 hour
📍 Cardiff – around 1 hour
📍 Bath – around 1 hour 10 mins
📍 Cheltenham – around 40 mins
📍 Worcester – around 50 mins
📍 Birmingham – around 1 hour 30 mins

That's less time than some people spend doomscrolling for somewhere to actually visit at the weekend.

Ancient woodland, riverside walks, cute cafes, market towns, cosy pubs and unforgettable views could be much closer than you think.
