Casita Lodge - Romantic Getaway with Hot Tub in the idyllic Forest of Dean

Nestled between the Rivers Severn and Wye, in the heart of the ancient Forest of Dean, Casita Lodge offers the ultimate romantic retreat.

Tucked away in a quiet square opposite St. John's Church, this charming converted annexe is designed for couples seeking tranquility, adventure, and a touch of indulgence.

A Cosy Hideaway with a Private Hot Tub

Step through the gated entrance into your private courtyard, where you’ll find a secluded seating area, perfect for al fresco dining. Enjoy a BBQ under the stars or sink into your very own private hot tub, the perfect spot for a romantic rendezvous beneath the night sky.

Inside, Casita Lodge is a blend of modern comfort and rustic charm.

* Cosy Bedroom – A sumptuous double bed with an en-suite featuring a luxurious rain-head shower.

* Warm & Inviting Living Space – A stylish open-plan lounge with a plush sofa, SMART TV, and Wi-Fi—ideal for unwinding together.

* Easy-to-Use Log Burner – Curl up by the wood burner, turning the lodge into a snug, romantic haven on cooler evenings.

* Fully Equipped Kitchen & Dining Nook – Everything you need for intimate home-cooked meals, whether it’s a lazy breakfast or a candlelit supper.

Perfectly Located for Relaxation & Adventure

Though peacefully tucked away, Casita Lodge is just moments from local cafés, country pubs, and a handy corner shop.

The small town of Cinderford is just a 15-minute walk or a few minutes’ drive, while beautiful woodland trails are only a short cycle or drive away.

And if you’re lucky, you might even spot wild boar and deer wandering through the Square—just one of the magical moments that makes this place so special.

Adventures to Share

When you're ready to explore, the Forest of Dean offers an array of unforgettable experiences, including:

* Scenic woodland, lakeside & riverside walks leading to breathtaking viewpoints—perfect for a romantic picnic.

* Canoeing, kayaking & paddleboarding at the River Wye, Mallards Pike, or Gloucester Docks.

* Llama & pony trekking for a unique countryside adventure.

The whole experience was fantastic and the host was right at the end of communication whene needed.
Loved the place, shower was the best l’ve ever had in all my stays. The hot tub was so therapeutic especially the powerful massage l got from it having driven from Surrey. The whole experience and stay was top notch. Didn’t find any restaurants nearby which is not the host responsibility.

Excellent Accommodation
This is the 2nd time we have visited but under new owners. Can honestly say that the communication from Zoe was brilliant. All texts and emails I sent were answered very quickly. Updating us and keeping us informed of local places to visit, directions and a lovely welcome pack of chocolates, milk, juice and tea and coffee etc was waiting for us... Lovely thought to walk into. Heating on , towels, extra bits in the food cabinet and all you need for washing up. The whole place was immaculately clean and comfortable and the hot tub is an amazing extra. Have to try it. Even on a chilly day. Will definitely be returning for maybe even longer break. Thanks for the loan of your beautiful home. X

This is a hidden gem
This property exceeded all expectations, this is a beautiful property and pictures just doesn’t do it justice. It’s very nice and spacious and the bedroom is so cosy. The highlight was obviously the hot tub and the fire place, having all these things for that price, not only is it an absolute bargain but it was genuinely amazing. The hot tub was so relaxing in the evening and you get a lovely view of the stars. I would highly recommend going here before it’s always booked up. I was here for 4 nights and wished I stayed for longer. You’ll definitely need a car but because of its location but there are so many things accessible to you from a driving distance. I will definitely be coming back in the future. Zoe & James, you guys have done well with this property.

A lovely honeymoon get away
My husband and I booked Casita Lodge for our honeymoon. The cottage is wonderful and incredibly romantic with its hot tub and log burner. Zoe and James were quick to respond when the gate refused to lock and checked the hot tub levels daily. The location is nice, however you do have to drive to a lot of places, as this beautiful cottage is rather secluded and a bit of a trek to most places to eat or other experiences.
