Secluded amongst the woods in the Forest of Dean near Lydney, Quarry Lodge is the ultimate rural retreat. Finished to a high standard this family holiday home is a dream come true for anybody looking to discover the beautiful scenery around the Wye Valley. Each room has been carefully considered to meet your needs with a well-equipped kitchen and dining table set in front of patio doors looking out to the nearby lake. A high-ceilinged living room with a wood burner is where you will spend most of your time, playing games, making memories and relishing in this amazingly quiet location. There is a ground-floor bedroom, and two more on the first floor along with the family bathroom. Outside a secluded hot tub* adds something special and the games room and secure garden gives the children and dogs space to play safely.

*Please make yourself aware of the additional notes regarding use of the hot tub below.

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

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!

Really nice countryside retreat, away from everything & everyone !
it's a well appointed cottage if a bit small, both in terms of one inside bathroom between six and also the heights of some of the doors (e.g. patio doors out to the garden are less than 6 ft height).
We had a lovely time sitting outdoors - dog in enclosed garden - listening to the buzzards and even saw deer come up to the garden fence. Can walk down to the deer park & through but not get through to Taurus Crafts. You have to walk at least a mile up & down hill to get to a pub or shop - but can highly recommend the craft ale place at Taurus, excellent when it's open !

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.



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

Such a beautiful property, in such an idealic location. Secluded and peaceful yet any necessities and plenty of places to explore within a close driving distance.
We had a lovely time making the most of the sunshine by relaxing in the well maintained garden, property had everything you could need and was furnished to a high standard.
Symonds Yat which is only a 30 minute drive away is well worth a visit with breathtaking views.
Will definitely look to revisit!

We booked Quarry lodge to spend time with the family for my husband’s 50th. The communication beforehand was spot on.right from the start. The welcome pack was excellent with lots of hints on where to go etc. It was easy to find using the three word app and the postcode. The location is amazing. The drive up to the house is beautiful and it backs on to the local wooded walk. First impressions were great- it was the small things such as tea, sugar, milk and filter coffee with biscuits. The house was extremely clean and easy to use the lockbox. The house is exactly as it looks in the photos. It’s a quiet location with an enclosed garden. Our small dog was perfectly safe in it. Sitting in it we saw a deer and a bird of prey. The hot tub was hot when we got there and the barn has a half size pool table and table tennis table which the men spent a long time in! We broke a glass one night and emailed as requested getting a quick response from the caretaker. All in all it was value for money, beautiful house and location and had plenty to keep us all busy - 5 adults and a baby. Even when we left the cleaner waited a respectable distance up the hill until we had left so we didn’t feel rushed. I would use Bolthole retreats again and absolutely stay in Quarry lodge again if I wanted a quiet, peaceful weekend with family.

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

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.

Booked this property for a surprise 60th birthday weekend for my dad. The property was immaculately clean and everything provided that we needed. Great location and a short walk to the deer park, only a 6 minute dive from the main road if needing to pop to a supermarket or nearby pub.
We did however have some difficulty in finding the property- the postcode provided took us to a lodge further up the road (alo part of Lydney Estates), and so did the app what.three.words. I think this could be reviewed to help customers to find the property easily in the future.

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).

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!

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!

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! :)

The lodge is equipped with everything you might need, the Information Booklet was the best we have seen and very helpful. Thoughtful gestures provided, tea, coffee, milk, orange juice, charcoal for bbq, hand wash and even fresh flowers.
Property is secluded and very tranquil, beautiful forest walks on the doorstep, yet has everything you need like shops and takeaways within a few miles radius’s.
Hot tub was an added bonus and fully enclosed garden was peace of mind for the dogs. We will be back that’s for sure.

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!
