Danby Lodge

Danby Lodge A private retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Let your stress melt away. Danby Lodge is a warming family home set in Yorkley, Forest of Dean.

With 2 acres of private land surrounded by miles upon miles of forest, streams and wildlife, a stay at this property will be one to remember. Looking back at the properties heritage, Danby Lodge is a Grade II listed, six bedroom Lodge built by order of Charles II, on the recommendation of Samuel Pepys. The property features a large garden surrounding the premises, including a fenced/walled enclosu

re, electric gate and a heated outdoor pool to sweeten the deal. If you want seclusion from every day life, Danby Lodge is for you. The house is bursting with little things that add that extra touch - I wonder if you can find the secret staircase leading to a hidden room?

We’re looking for a couple of reliable cleaners (individuals, not cleaning companies) to add to our existing housekeeping team for turnover cleans between guest stays to give us maximum flexibility for guests. Good rates and ongoing work.

If interested, please WhatsApp or text Richard on 07494 455 170 with a bit of information about your experience. Recommendations, particularly from other holiday home owners, also very welcome. Thank you.

Rare find!

We've had a last-minute cancellation at Danby Lodge for Christmas. Normally we're fully booked over the festive season by this time of year.

Imagine spending Christmas in a 17th-century stone lodge, curled up beside a roaring fire with a glass of wine in hand, snow falling outside. Surrounded by the historic Forest of Dean, with plenty of space for your loved ones (woofers welcome 🐾), it’s the perfect setting for a cosy, storybook Christmas.

Danby Lodge is magical all year round — but it’s truly special at Christmas.
Check out these photos and videos to see for yourself.

There's something magical about the morning mist over the forest. As the sun rises and the dew settles, a thick layer of fog descends upon the trees, creating an almost surreal landscape. The mist seems to dance and weave its way through the branches, adding an ethereal quality to the scene.
