Pet-friendly summary
The Barn in Longhope is a smart, dog-friendly barn conversion on the edge of the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire, and it has become a firm favourite with guests travelling with dogs. It blends a genuinely luxurious, tastefully finished interior with the practical touches that make a stay with a dog easy rather than stressful.
The standout for dog owners is the garden: a wraparound, fully enclosed and fenced space where a dog can be let off the lead safely right outside the door, which guests repeatedly call out as a real bonus. Off-road parking is another practical win, making arrivals and departures with a dog and all its kit straightforward. Inside, the barn is modern, spotlessly clean and finished to a high standard, with an open-plan living space that gets plenty of praise. The wider setting is lovely and rural, with a good choice of dog-friendly walks in and around the Forest of Dean a short ten to fifteen minute drive away.
A few honest notes. Opinions on the location differ: most find it peaceful, though one guest felt the road outside was busier than expected, so it is worth keeping a dog close when getting in and out of the car. One guest was also told about a pet fee of around seventy-five pounds after booking, which was resolved, so it is wise to confirm any dog charge directly at the time of booking. WiFi can be patchy in the main bedroom, too.
It suits a couple or family travelling with a dog who want a polished, comfortable rural base with a secure garden and easy Forest of Dean walking, and who are happy to double-check the pet fee up front.
