Naturist

Clothing optional holiday

Our holiday hideaway is ideal for a time away without clothes. The cottage stands entirely on its own and the garden is completely enclosed giving exceptional privacy. Whether you're seasoned naturists or want to try naturism on holiday this is an environment in which you can relax.

Our cottage - Pike House - is often booked up! If you can't find a suitable date here, we do have a self-catering Studio Cabin in another, nearby location. Information about it is near the bottom of this page.

Naturist self-catering accommodation

We think you'll find our holiday hideaway an ideal holiday cottage for your naturist self-catering accommodation stay in the Royal Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, UK.

In Summer, and even in a good Spring, the garden and patio provide a great opportunity to get an all over tan. The secluded garden is ideal for sunbathing naked in private. You can go clothing optional without concern. Our enclosed private garden gives freedom to be in the buff. I will suit one couple alone but also makes ideal self-catering accommodation for two naturist couples or a naturist family wanting to get away together for a relaxing UK holiday.

The hot tub in the garden and the log burning stove in the cottage makes our holiday hideaway a good place for naturists - or those who like moments of nakedness - even when Summer has past and we are into Autumn and Winter. The garden remains completely secluded even after the leaves have fallen.

Please go to our "Hot Tub" page for more details of our hot tub and sauna facility. It's a treat!

“We needed a break. We needed peaceful time. We wanted to be cozy and warm. We wanted some us time. We found it here. Will be back ASAP. Thank you, Simon and Ruth.” Bob and Wendy - Jan. 29th 2023

“What a week of wonderful weather and visiting an area we had hardly ever seen before. Good nights' sleep on a lovely comfy bed, lovely clean and well equipped cottage, pretty garden, super hot tub and garden facilities and a helpful host. We have enjoyed our stay with you. Thank you so much.” Norman and Trish - Jul. 24th 2021

“Simon and Ruth’s place was an amazing choice for my friend and I for a weekend away to relax and unwind. Set on its own in a beautiful part of the forest, we had superb privacy all weekend, and were able to fully utilise the spa facilities, which are absolutely amazing! We spent our Saturday night sipping tea in the hot tub under the stars, in the forest, and had a quick spell in the sauna... we couldn’t have asked for more! The house is kitted out with everything you may need for either a long or short stay, and as well as the pubs being a stumble away, a large shop is only a few minutes away by car and had nearly anything you would want/need. Simon greeted us on arrival, and gave us a tour of the place and some really useful tips around the house and for the spa. He was great with communication, and is a super host! Thanks again for letting us stay!” Nicola (Nicola posted this on Airbnb) - Mar. 15th 2020
