Private Gatherings & Retreats at Forest Barns

Forest Barns is a private luxury hamlet in the Gloucestershire countryside, suited to birthdays, anniversaries, family reunions, retreats, corporate away days, private dining weekends and small team events.

Your group can stay in separate self-catering cottages, each with its own privacy and comfort, while still coming together in dedicated dining and gathering spaces for meals, celebrations, meetings, slideshows, quizzes or relaxed time together.

Private Celebrations

Forest Barns works well for milestone birthdays, wedding anniversaries, family celebrations, reunions and private dining weekends where guests want to stay close together without all being under one roof.

Depending on the size of your group, you can arrange a Sleeps 16 group stay or a Sleeps 26 exclusive-use stay, with dedicated gathering space available by agreement.

Retreats and Wellbeing Stays

The peaceful hamlet setting, countryside views, woodland walks, private hot tubs and cottage privacy make Forest Barns a comfortable choice for small retreats and wellbeing stays.

Spa treatments and catering can be arranged separately by agreement, giving your group time and space to relax properly.

Corporate Retreats and Team Away Days

Forest Barns can also work for corporate retreats, planning sessions and team away days where a group needs both accommodation and practical shared space.

Business groups can use one room for dining and, by arrangement, another for training, meetings, presentations or workshops. This allows one room to remain set up for dining while the other is used for training, planning sessions or presentations.

Choose Sleeps 16 or Sleeps 26

Important to Know

Private celebrations, catered events, retreats, corporate events, bar arrangements and supplier access must be agreed with Forest Barns in advance.

This helps us make sure the right cottages, spaces, timings and practical arrangements are reserved for your group.
