The Lodge Rooms BnB

The Lodge Rooms BnB

Stylish and modern bedrooms inside The Lodge.

The Lodge Rooms are for people who like the Dome Garden setting but want a solid-wall stay at the heart of the site. They sit inside the main Lodge building: five rooms, each a little different, all finished in a modern style with recycled materials and forest-inspired touches.

Think warm timber, quiet corners, and details that ground the place. Some rooms have high wooden ceilings, some have features pulled from the building’s working past, and most have that ‘sleep well and get on with it’ feel after a day outdoors. You still get the Dome Garden atmosphere, just with a more conventional base.

Remember, this is still the Dome Garden, so you get the wider stuff that makes it work: woodland all around, free-roaming chickens, and those small surprises that make children absurdly proud. You can cook for yourselves, or lean into the informal café when you’d rather not. Nights tend to involve a stove you light, a bit of quiet, and the sort of darkness that makes you slow down.

It’s glamping, but not the thin kind. It’s the practical kind: the basics done correctly, with the forest doing the rest.

If the Lodge Rooms have a ‘best one’, this is the obvious suspect. The Coal Store is a fabulous double with the ‘non-living wall’ for atmosphere and a few steps down to the Bath House, which is easily the standout bathroom on site.

For about 200 years, forest workers stored coal down here, working by candlelight set into niches that still line the walls. That history hasn’t been polished away. It’s part of the room.

The centrepiece is the double-ended bath. Fill it, add candlelight, and you get a proper pause after a day in the Forest of Dean.

There are no cooking facilities, so breakfast stays simple: tea and toast, or coffee and croissants. In the summer season, it can be upgraded to something more substantial.

The Garden Store is a lovely double room that keeps things calm. It’s tucked away from the busier side of the site, so you get more quiet and less foot traffic, even when the Dome Garden feels lively.

Inside, there’s a large en-suite dressing room finished with timber from the pallets that deliver the logs, plus a ‘Steampunk’ shower that feels like a small event. Recycled wooden shutters add to the feel, and the garden outlook helps the whole space slow down.

There are no cooking facilities here, so breakfast stays simple: tea and toast, or coffee and croissants. After that, you’re well placed for a wander, or for doing nothing at all, which is often the better choice.

The Wood Store sits on the first floor of the main Lodge and has that warm, characterful feel the name promises. High ceilings, wood crates, recycled pallet timber, and the odd ‘non-living’ wall give it a bit of edge without turning it into a theme park.

It faces east across the garden, so mornings arrive early. There’s a small balcony deck where you can sit with a fresh tea or coffee and catch the first light over the trees. If you’re an early bird, it’s a proper little reward. If you aren’t, it still looks good later.

Inside, the en-suite keeps the woodland mood going, with a ‘foresty’ finish and a rain-drenched shower that does the job properly after a day out.

There are no cooking facilities in this room, so breakfast stays simple: tea and toast, or coffee and croissants. In the holiday season, you can upgrade to something more substantial if you want the full works.

The Wine Store is the newest of the Lodge Rooms, and it’s only just coming online, so photos are thin on the ground for now. The aim is the same as the others, though: cosy, characterful, and built around the place’s materials and stories.

It’s on the first floor of the Lodge, with windows that catch both morning and evening light, plus access up to the roof terrace when you fancy a bit of air. Inside, it leans into its theme with wine-crate details and timber walls that make it feel warm rather than staged.

The wine angle isn’t random, either. The Forest of Dean isn’t only trees, coal, and sheep. It also lays claim to the oldest vineyard in the UK, and there’s a local story that in 1630 the first sparkling wine was made here, sparked by cidermakers who worked out the second fermentation. Stronger local glass, fired with forest oak, enabled the bottles to withstand the pressure.

Later, a certain monk from Champagne took the credit. Of course he did.

The Forest Store is the twin-only Lodge Room, set on the first floor with high ceilings and a simple, practical layout. It’s built around two single beds, styled like bushcraft beds and lashed with rope for the look. Reality steps in quietly: they’re bolted solid, so they stay put, and they don’t convert into a double.

There’s space in the middle for an extra child’s bed, making it a snug little setup for a small family without anyone having to pretend they enjoy sharing.

Like the other rooms, the finishes lean on reclaimed and recycled materials. The walls have the Lodge’s signature ‘green wall’ effect, studded with 200-year-old oak timbers rescued from beneath layers of wallpaper, still showing marks from the original wattle-and-daub.

The bathroom sits through a discreet door and is lined with natural slate, with a white slipper bath as the main feature. There’s no separate shower, just a neat hand shower as part of the bath.

No cooking facilities here, so breakfast is super-simple: tea and toast, or coffee and croissants. In the main season, it can be upgraded to the full works.
