About this property

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.

Absolutely peaceful

Stayed for just 3 nights, wow, so peaceful, we had fantastic weather which helped, beautiful countryside, very quiet, the pub down the road with beautiful back garden( name escapes me) food was on point, very good. The house was just amazing, just what we needed and absolutely would return for longer stay. Only criticism if any, internet intermittent so telly was not great, we got round this by watching downloaded films on laptop plugged into telly so all good, could have done with radio or Bluetooth speaker will remember to take with us next time, games room would be great fur kids( we didn’t have any) anyways, we had the most amazing time, really was wow!

Excellent

When looking for a place to stay as a family we have very specific requirements and Quarry Lodge ticked every one. It was perfect for us. Clean, comfortable, in the heart of the countryside with all the facilities we need. Nice extra touches like a games cupboard, and the games room. Games room could do with a heater and the house could benefit from an extra bathroom but we were so delighted that we’ve already rebooked for 2026.

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

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!

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.

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

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.

Quarry lodge

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.

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

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.

Weekend Getaway

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.

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!

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!

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! :)

Tranquil stay!

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.
