Geoff and I feel privileged to have been able to call Sutton Baynham Farm our home for the last 29 years. It’s a very special spot, even if we say so ourselves, in the beautiful Royal Forest of Dean - surrounded by rolling hills clad in woodland with lovely views. Our guests tell us we have created a lovely retreat from their busy lives and we take great satisfaction that our work over the years has achieved this. We work in the business on a day-to-day basis – you’ll probably have spoken to me when making your booking – and we manage a small team to strive to create a truly wonderful holiday experience for you. Originally from farming and countryside stock, we feel strongly about doing our bit to help protect this beautiful area and the wider planet for future generations. We have five grandchildren and are concerned for their future, so we have installed as much as we can to reduce both our own and guests’ carbon footprint, during their stay in this idyllic rural location.

Brambles by Forest Barn Holidays is perfect for couples wanting to escape. The private wooden balcony with a 4 seater hot tub is a real highlight and offers breathtaking views over the surrounding countryside. It's a great spot for alfresco dining or stargazing with a glass of wine.

We are centrally located for those coming from the South West, or London where we are 2 hours from M25 or M5 down from Birmingham and Coventry. Buses & Trains Closest railway station is Gloucester but Cheltenham is very close too. The bus and train stations are together in the center of Gloucester, making for an easy transfer. A regular bus service then runs from Gloucester to Cinderford and stops in Littledean. Taxis can be ordered by phone. .
