Quarry Lodge, Lydney - sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms

Reaching the end of your journey, you will find yourself awestruck by the surroundings of Quarry Lodge. To each side of the track there are miles of trees and hilltops beyond. Nestled on the edge of the treeline near a lake, you first notice the silence of your setting before you enter your holiday home.

Inside, the meandering ground floor creates separated living spaces with plenty of space for your whole group in each. From the entrance the house flows into the kitchen and dining area, perfectly positioned for enjoying the view. The spacious living room branches off from the central hallway and has high ceilings, a wood burner, and a large comfortable corner sofa which you can't resist sinking into and taking a deep breath as you relax. All you can see from here is trees making it feel as though you are in another world. There are three bedrooms including one on the ground floor which can be a king-size double or a twin room, which helps to provide sleeping arrangements to suit everybody. Upstairs you really feel as though you are in a treehouse in the bedrooms and the modern family bathroom has a bathtub and rainfall shower.

Stepping out to the fully enclosed garden you’ll enjoy the freshness of the country air. To the side of the parking area is a separate utility with WC, keeping the noise of the washing machine from disturbing your evenings. Alongside the lawn and gravelled area is a secluded patio where you’ll find the hot tub* where you can relax in the bubbles looking out to the lake feeling invisible to the rest of the world. You will also find a games room with a pool table and table tennis, an amazing addition to your holiday here. Walks lead from the door and there are many outdoor activities on offer in the Forest of Dean and Symonds Yat nearby.

Ground Floor

Kitchen/Dining Room:
The spacious kitchen/diner includes an entrance hall to the side where you first step into Quarry Lodge. This light and airy space with fresh white walls and wooden floors has patio doors out to the garden overlooking the trees and lake beyond. With a dining table seating six and a well-equipped kitchen which has the best views to enjoy while you do the washing up, this is a wonderful space for preparing meals after a country walk.

Living Room:
Passing a side entrance and down one step, the living room is at the back of the house. Decorated in natural tones it brings the colours of the outdoors in. A wood burner in a painted grey surround is the main feature of this room creating a warming atmosphere for evenings in. You can really get away from it all and there is space for everybody to stretch out on the corner sofa and armchairs.

Bedroom One:
This ground-floor super king-size double enjoys the peace at the end of the cottage. It can be split to be two single beds on request. Furnished with a wardrobe, chest of drawers and bedside tables you have enough space to pack your belongings away and feel at home. There is also a feature pink armchair where you can enjoy the view while flicking through a magazine.

First Floor

From the eye-catching turquoise hallway, stairs take you up to the family bathroom and two more bedrooms.

Bedroom Two:
The first king-size double to the right of the stairs is the smallest of the rooms but this doesn't take away from its luxurious qualities. The soft bedding will ease you to sleep, and there is a wardrobe and bedside tables for storage.

Family Bathroom:
The large family bathroom has a modern touch with geometric floor tiles and white walls. A rainfall shower and separate bath, WC and sink ensure you have everything you need.

Bedroom Three:
The final king-size double features a decorative fireplace in the same colours as the living room fire. Well-furnished with a wardrobe, chest of drawers and bedside tables this spacious room is a lovely spot to relax at the end of the day.

Outside

The enclosed garden is a safe space for children and dogs and a side gate takes you out into the wilderness of the forest with walking routes around the lake. To one side is a secluded patio where you will find the hot tub* where you can take a dip and feel at one with nature.

External Games Room:
An outhouse by the parking area acts as a games room and utility. There is a pool table and table tennis so there's plenty to keep you entertained even on rainy days. There is also a washing machine, tumble dryer and WC here.

To say that some guests were rebooking for 2025 whilst travelling home to Cambridgeshire says it all.

Perfect place for weekend away

We had an amazing weekend. The lodge was exactly what we were looking for. Surrounded by nature, the kids had endless games to play outside while parents enjoyed the beauty and calm of this place.

Perfect

The property was amazing, the location was perfect for our little getaway. Wish we booked longer. The house was well equipped and comfortable. And soooo quiet. We enjoyed our morning coffee's sat in the garden listening to the birds and then a few cocktails in the evening in the hot tub. 100% will now be a yearly thing for us this place.

So beautiful, Tracey was fantastic, would be back every weekend if we could!

Absolutely beautiful location, beyond words how beautiful! The house itself was clean and tidy and had everything we needed to have a fantastic stay. Tracey went above and beyond and left some chocolates and Prosecco to help our guests celebrate their engagement which was so so appreciated, and even some treats and a blanket for our dog, and we were were able to check in early - thank you so much Tracey, all these little touches are the things that make such a difference and we had a really fantastic weekend and will definitely be back and will be recommending Bolthole Retreats to everyone!

Outstanding property and the surroundings were ideal, especially if you take a dog with you. The walks straight from the property were perfect for our energetic water loving Cocker Spaniel. We will definitely be back!

A great stay at Quarry Lodge

Lovely location for the property, really quiet and relatively remote which is what we wanted. Great dog walks right on the door step (literally). Property was in great condition, hot tub was nice and the games room was a great addition. Housekeeper was easy to contact with a couple of questions. A fantastic stay and we would return.

Family getaway

What a lovely family break away! The lodge was very well equipped and had everything you could possible need for a family trip away. We will definitely be returning in the future. Thank you

Great place to stay.

Really enjoyed our stay. Everything was good. Just one suggestion for improvement - there is a safe, easy walk possible trough the estate from the cottage to Tarus Crafts which has some nice shops, cafe & and a micro pub. Unfortunately there's a combination locked gate which prevents access. Could guests have the combination to allow access? Walking along the road is much longer and not safe with kids or dogs

Amazing view from the hot tub!

Quarry Lodge is spacious, well decorated, well furnished and very comfortable. The location is perfect if you want to get away from it all. Can fully recommend paying for the hot tub as it's perfect with a view of the surrounding trees. Great base for exploring the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley. We hope to return!

A Slice of Heaven in the Countryside

Honestly if we could give it 10 Stars we would, it was just a little piece of chilled out Paradise. The photos absolutely do not do the scenery justice. It’s a stunning home in a gorgeous setting. We can’t wait to go back!

Romantic 2 Nights Away

We had a wonderful stay at Quarry Lodge. We made the most of the hot-tub and log burner and enjoyed walking through the Estate grounds taking in all the wildlife and surroundings! We also walked to the George Inn for dinner one evening - food was fantastic! Will definitely be back again - maybe with the children! :)

60th birthday family weekend away

A wonderful house in a fantastic secluded location! Everything very clean with a well equipped kitchen and hot tub was a great addition! Only slight negative point is that the living room with the fire had an unpleasant odour to it so needed to be well aired prior to use each time or have the fire lit to mask the smell. Otherwise everything else was excellent lovely big rooms and very comfortable

Short break

The scenery is insane and made our little holiday amazing, everything was provided for a great stay! Maybe just a warning on the hot tap in the kitchen which seemed to get very hot.

An absolute gem

Had the best time at Quarry Lodge with the family. It was situated in a beautiful position with lovely views, an abundance of nature on our doorstep and peace and quiet. The lodge was equipped with everything you could think of and didn't disappoint on the luxury front. The beds were very comfy too. We loved the games room and the walks from the doorstep. We all intend to come back to Quarry Lodge every year!

Fantastic rural setting

Super house, dog friendly enclosed garden, great view from the hot tub (although only really comfortable for 2 or 3 people) with no immediate neighbours. Only a few light touches would enhance what is already a great property (i.e. fairy lights by hot tub, more subtle bedroom lighting and some sort of audio or entertainment media in the kitchen/dining room).

Beautiful setting, lovely stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this place, it was peaceful, quiet, private and scenic. The house itself was lovely and spacious and had all the amenities needed. Customer service was good, I was very impressed, when entered, everything was ready and it was very clean. The only thing for me was my bed was a little firm (but that’s just personal preference). We would definitely love to come back. Thank you!

Amazing Place to Stay

We had the most amazing stay at Quarry lodge. The house is secluded, has amazing scenery all around yet is in a perfect location to explore the Forest of Dean. Beds were very comfy, kitchen was well equipped. We used the bbq which was great. Our children loved the garden space and games room. Flip flops are needed to walk from the house to the hot tub as the patio is gravel. The fire doors all over the house were a bit of a hazard for our children as they couldn’t get in or out of rooms independently and we were worried about them trapping fingers in doors. Fortunately no accidents happened but just to let others know who are travelling with young children. We would love to return to this property.
