囲まれた庭園と眺めを持つ居心地の良いキャラクターコテージ

Hi, we’re Zoe and James — founders of Willow Forest Stays and Woodland Barn is where it all began. What was once a tumble-down stable & hayloft is now a peaceful, eco-conscious holiday home, thoughtfully renovated with couples, families, and four-legged friends in mind.

Perched in a quiet spot overlooking the sweeping bend of the River Severn, Woodland Barn is all about fresh air and relaxation. It’s a space to exhale — cosy, calming, and kitted out with everything you need for a comfortable stay, including a modern open-plan kitchen, underfloor heating powered by an air source heat pump, and of course, your own private hot tub with those unforgettable views.

We’re big believers in honest hosting, sustainable choices, and dog-friendly holidays with no hidden extras. You’ll find an enclosed garden, scenic trails straight from the door, and plenty of local dog-friendly pubs and adventures to enjoy nearby.

Whether you're here for a romantic getaway, a family break, or simply to slow down and disconnect, Woodland Barn is a place to feel at home — and we’d love to welcome you.

When we first laid eyes on Woodland Barn—perched above the River Severn with views that stretch for miles—we knew it was something special. It wasn’t just the peaceful setting or the character of the old stables and hayloft. It was the feeling it gave us. Quiet. Grounded. Connected.

We wanted to create a space where guests could escape, bring their dogs, and just be. A place to return to after a forest hike, or to linger with a coffee and watch the mist roll in over the valley. We chose Woodland Barn because it offered all of that—and more.

We’ve lovingly restored it to be:

* A cosy and welcoming retreat.
* Dog-friendly without compromise—enclosed garden, no extra charges, and scenic walks from the door
* Eco-conscious with air-source heating and sustainable choices throughout
* A place where you can unwind in a private hot tub, enjoy home-cooked meals, and feel completely at ease

We chose it because we'd want to stay here. And we’re so proud to now share it with you.
