Hotels in Coleford

Coleford's hotels and guesthouses make the most of a location most Forest of Dean towns cannot match: everything from Puzzlewood and Clearwell Caves to the Wye Valley and Dean Forest Railway sits within a few miles, so you can base yourself centrally and explore in every direction without long drives. Options range from traditional coaching inns like the Angel Hotel right on the market square, offering easy access to the town's shops, cafes and pubs on foot, to country hotels in the surrounding villages such as the Tudor Farmhouse Hotel at Clearwell, which pairs comfortable rooms with a well-regarded restaurant built around local and forest produce.

Because Coleford itself has no railway station, most visitors arrive by car, and many of the area's hotels and B&Bs are geared towards walkers and cyclists exploring the forest trails, with secure bike storage, drying rooms and hearty breakfasts common features. Rooms fill up quickly around the Coleford Music Festival in July and during the bluebell season in late spring, so early booking is worthwhile at those times. Whether you are after a simple, central town-centre stay or a quieter countryside retreat in one of the villages nearby, Coleford's accommodation options are well suited to a forest-based break rather than a fly-in city stopover, rewarding visitors who plan to spend their days outdoors.
