Step away from the everyday to escape to Zion Chapel in the heart of the Forest of Dean where adventures are on your doorstep. The chapel is beautifully spacious with high ceilings and an open plan layout. A woodburning stove is at the centre and a mezzanine seating area shows off the spectacular views. Bring the dogs along for a stay with family or friends making use of the flexible sleeping arrangements. With walking routes passing by your front door, a dining terrace overlooking the valley and woodland in every direction, you can make the most of your forest location. The Dean Heritage Centre is a short walk, Beechenhurst is home to the Forest of Dean Sculpture Trail and Go Ape and is just a 15-minute drive and magical Puzzlewood is 9 miles.

What a gem! We knew we were getting something special from the photos, but the attention to detail at Zion is exceptional - such wonderful restoration and taste. The welcome pack and huge basket of logs was so generous - above and beyond our expectations. Amazing walks from the door and such a cosy fireplace to return to meant that we didn’t use the car - and we didn’t even switch the TV on. Loved cooking in the well-equipped kitchen, great shower and toiletries, very comfy bed and nice outside space too which our terrier enjoyed. We are even converts to the futon. Looking forward to future visits.

The chapel has been beautifully restored with real care and attention, and we felt at home the moment we arrived. The interior strikes a perfect balance between modern and cosy, with a wonderful log burner and Aga that made it especially inviting on the grey, wet days when we were more than happy to stay in and relax. Despite spending time indoors, it never felt at all claustrophobic — the space is generous and the large windows flood the building with natural light.

Everything we needed was thoughtfully provided, along with some very welcome extras, including a delicious homemade cake. One of the highlights was being able to step straight outside and begin walking in the Forest of Dean.

Although the accommodation is dog-friendly, it was impeccably clean with no trace of previous four-legged guests. The hosts were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We had a truly lovely week and would happily return at any time of year.

What an amazing place to relax and chill. Read a book in front of the fire, go for walks in the forest which are right outside the door.
The house has everything you need. There is a local pub walking distance (no food, friendly locals).
Lovely open space vibe in the chapel. Dog loved it too. The host Vicky was great too.
If there was a spa pool or a bath that would have been perfect. But overall it was great.
