(TRAVPR.COM) UNITED KINGDOM - August 6th, 2013 - There are plenty of excellent holiday cottages in the Forest of Dean, and whilst all of them can offer great access to one of the most picturesque areas of the UK, only a handful of them have been graded as 4 star by VisitBritain. Hideaways can boast a number of properties in their portfolio that have been awarded 4 stars, arguably some of the most coveted within their collection.

The VisitBritain accommodation grading system awards stars in terms of the quality that the accommodation provides, which includes the decor, ambience and furnishings of a self catering cottage. The people who assess the accommodation stay as 'mystery guests', so the properties have been awarded stars because they can provide a high quality stay to all guests.

This prestigious award has been given to a number of Forest of Dean properties that are available with Hideaways. All four properties on Holt Farm have been given 4 stars by Visit Britain, ranging from a converted stable that is perfect for 2 people to a former cowshed that can sleep 8. Other properties include a cottage with great views of the River Wye and a converted wing of a Grade II listed country house.
