We stayed here...

Which are a group of cottages in an old stable block. Sleeps from 2 to 5 people i think. Very clean and well equipped and only 5 minutes drive from the main cycle centre at FoD. Staying again at Easter so def recommend.

Thanks, I did stumble upon their site earlier, we are looking more towards a single night stop over rather than a short break arrangement...

You could either go posh and stay at the Forest Holiday Park in a bling log cabin, with hot tub and hot pizza / cold beer on demand

or keep it simple and go here...

Last year we camped at the campsite behind the Forest holiday park which was fine but not for everyone, whilst a few months later my 13 yr old lad was invited to go MTBing at FOD with his friends (it was a "birthday party") and the friends parents took them all in big landy with all the bikes on a bespoke trailer and they had a great time at the YHA for 2 nights. I wish my mates (and their parents) were into MTBs when I was 13. I was rather jealous.
