Float in the Forest is a floatation centre in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire.

Brilliant experience, will definitely go again that's for sure! Will and Shari welcomed us warmly and made us feel comfortable before and after our float. I was so relaxed from the float I felt like I was on another planet! What an amazing place to have in the forest of dean, much needed! thankyou, Jess

Just had my first float - it was lovely so relaxing. Looking forward to my next visit . If you’ve never tried it give it a go and have a couple of hours just “ floating “ .

Float in the Forest is total bliss!

Never having had a 'float' before I was a little nervous for what I was about to encounter. The guided tour and instructions/guidance provided by Shari shortly after I arrived reassured and relaxed me through her professionalism and obvious enthusiasm for what was to come. An incredible 'me' experience that truly relaxes you in a world where this is becoming more and more difficult to find. Give it a go, an amazing relaxant and no need to worry about feeling claustrophobic, I promise!

Really enjoyed my first float yesterday. I’ve got a spring in my step today! Very relaxing and serene place to visit! 🤩

What an amazing experience. Totally relaxed body and mind, as well as helping aches and pains! Had a wonderful welcome with great customer service. Will be back! 😊

Will and Shari were so lovely and accommodating during our visit. The centre is absoultely beautiful and homely. As soon as we walked in we felt like we had just arrived home. Everything was explained fully and the attention to detail was outstanding. Our floats were incredibly relaxing, the relaxation area heightened our level of relaxation with herbal teas and a colouring book that I quickly tucked into. Pure delight! Anyone living or passing through the Forest of Dean must visit Float in the Forest. You would not want to miss out! 🙂

very clean
very friendly
very relaxing

spotlessly clean. welcoming owners. not rushed & very clear instructions. The float itself was stunning, very relaxing & helpful for some muscular issues. Am definitely going again.

what a lovely place! I had a lovely welcome from Will and Shari who showed me round and turned my apprehensions into eagerness to get in and experience my first float! the float was wonderful, time to myself with no distractions of any sort. I have already ordered my next 2 floats.

Float in the Forest was so lovely! very relaxing and helped with my fibromyalgia! would highly recommend to anyone needing time out to completely relax!

A superb experience! First class floatation centre (and I've been to a few)... beautiful location, friendly and knowledgeable staff, an absolute joy to visit.

The layout feels more spacious than other floatation centres I've been to. A very, very peaceful atmosphere and loads of room to chill out, enjoy the art and a complementary herbal tea afterwards.

Feeling transformed after my float. So relaxing and revitalising at the same time (sounds contradictory, but you'll know what I mean once you've tried it). Looking forward to my next visit!

Who would guess that there is a little bit of heaven right here in the forest! Well, I found it a few weeks ago, courtesy of a Birthday gift from my husband (he really knows what I like).
So, just had my second visit - yes, had to go back if only to see if it really was as good as I thought the first time.
It was totally just as I thought, the most effective method of relaxation I have found. The peace and quiet, tranquillity and serenity, friendship and calmness, and all in beautiful, clean, warm and welcoming surroundings.
That feeling of leaving all stress, anxiety and depression outside, of being completely at one with the yourself and the world - priceless!
Thank you Will and Shari, see you again soon. x

What an amazing experience! Shari & Will have created the most amazing space and are both professional and welcoming, putting any worries you may have at ease. Having an open mind created an hour of total nothingness for the body and mind. I am still lost for words but would recommend anyone to try it ... I can’t wait to book again

Went for my first float and it was so surreal it made me feel amazing and completely de-stressed. The team there were very welcoming and it was very quiet and tranquil
If you haven’t already tried it then I 100% recommend you do!

I loved it, afterwards my body felt totally relaxed and my mind felt energised. I was more refreshed than if I'd had several good nights sleep in a row, one good nights sleep is practically impossible for me so reaching this level of relaxation in one hour is pretty close to miraculous!

An hour of complete peace, escape into your own world in mindful reflection. Relax the senses and heal the body. The most amazing experience and it is a must for this busy world!

I highly recommended Float in the Forest..... I was a little dubious of floating at first and also worried about feelings of claustrophobia but Will and Shari made you feel very welcome and at ease in explaining how to get the most from your experience and yes you are totally in control of it . I have had 2 floats now .... just a great feeling of letting your whole body relax from the stresses and strains of everyday life and definitely very beneficial for physical and mental wellbeing . I have been converted with more booked ..... bring them on. Thank you 😊🐾x

I had a great experience for my first ever float. I wasnt sure if I would close the lid fully or want to be in total darkness. well I did both and felt totally safe and thoroughly enjoyed the darkness and much preferred to having light.
Will did an awesome job of explaining the session, what to do, what to expect... felt totally relaxed and prepared. I moved around a bit and stretched out some tense and aching limbs and then almost nodded off toward the end of the session. I took advantage of the quiet time after the float and read more about floating and the benefits. I will definitely be floating again. A big thank you to Shar & Will

Great experience. Peculiar but emerged serene soft and calm. Energised but still

The pods are high tech and the floatation itself was incredibly relaxing. Afterwards it was great to have a chill out space to relax in before I ventured back into the world of sensation. I would highly recommend Float in the Forest 5 stars.

I genuinely cannot recommend highly enough the float in the forest experience. The place is incredible and they give you every thing you could possibly need for the most relaxing comforting feeling in the world. It's like being in the womb! I need to go back. I have been more calm today than I have in months. It has helped with my anxiety no end. I'm going to get a massage as well next time.

It’s lovely and relaxing, already booked two more each for my wife and myself

I had my first float today and it was so relaxing, Shari explained the whole set up very well and made me feel at ease.

I’ve already booked to go back in a few weeks 😍😍😍

As the first disabled person to use their accessibility suite, I can highly recommend it. Lovely friendly staff made sure I had everything I needed (thanks Will 😊). The room itself is level entry, has plenty of room for a wheelchair, and is a wet room with shower. If you need support with changing or personal care, the room is big enough to accommodate a second person to help you. Getting in and out of the floatation pod is similar to getting in and out of a bath, so if you need help with that you'd need help here too. The actual float itself was blissful! The combination of heat and weightlessness was soothing for my pain, and was beyond relaxing. I will definitely be going again!

First time floating, but not my last. Shari and Will were very welcoming and the centre was absolutely spotless, with care taken to ensure hygiene, social distancing and your comfort. Instructions were very clear, as I wasn't sure what to do, with an introductory video and reminder in the float room itself. The float itself was just amazing, so relaxing and physically soothing that I was still feeling the effects 12 hours later and into the next day (today). Thank you so much Float in the Forest, can't wait to come again!

The most relaxing but surreal experience! I experienced my first float earlier today and it’s safe to say I will return, it’s hard to explain to someone what it’s like but I would definitely recommend it just to see. Very relaxing and great stress relief! Thank you so much 😊

This was my first time floating and it was an amazing experience, so relaxing. Any aches and pains just melted away. I would highly recommend this wonderful experience and if you've never tried it, then give it a go and see for yourself what a fantastic restful experience flotation is!

Excellent news!!! This treat is 300m away from Bramley Lodge!!! We cant wait to give it a try!!!

Thanks so much for a wonderful float experience. It was my first float and I felt so relaxed, very important when you're 6 months pregnant. Sherrie gave me a fab induction tour and explained everything. Everything was immaculately clean and I felt very welcome. See you again soon 🙏

A wonderful welcoming atmosphere, everything explained clearly and it makes you feel very special. A lovely personal experience, that relaxes and felt like they had thought of everything.

This amazing new float centre has everything you need to walk in, stressed as you like, and come out feeling relaxed and ready for anything.

From the beginning, Shari and Will’s enthusiasm for the centre has shone through. They worked hard to set up Float in the Forest and are the most welcoming hosts. In their quiet, calm way they explain how the float session works and what to expect. The reception, bathroom and float rooms are spotlessly clean and the relaxation room is a calm space where you can sit quietly and ‘come to’ after your float with a cup of fruit tea.

On my first float, feeling brave and wanting to embrace everything the pod had to offer, I slipped into the silky, warm water, pulled the lid down and turned off the light. It was strange to experience true darkness with my eyes open or closed. The soothing music which introduced the float soon faded away and I took a while to calm my breathing and drift off into a dream-like state, the only noise being the ripples of water when I moved and I was not sure if I could hear my heart beating, or was it just that I was more aware of it? By the end of the hour when the music began again I felt as relaxed as if I had had a massage, with all tension gone.

A lovely shower after the float, to rinse off the salt, was the best excuse to use some wonderful shower products! Then finally, before returning to the world again, a drink and time to enjoy the comments in the guest book and compare experiences. Just perfect.

Thank you Shari and Will, a wonderful experience 😚

another relaxing chill in the float pod Sharri and Will so welcoming and genuinely care

Extreme relaxation, floating, who knew !

Wonderful warm welcome from Will & Sheri, followed by a wonderful float. I’ll definitely be back for more.

Spent a beautiful time at Float in the Forest yesterday. A truly remarkable and relaxing experience. The venue is perfect in every way. The owners have gone out of their way to make it as client friendly as possible. It ticked all of my boxes. Super clean, ease of use, lovely products, state of the art equipment, comprehensive induction and of course magical float experience. I hope to visit again soon next time I'm in the area. Thank you Shari and Will.

My first ever float. Felt a bit nervous. No need. Shari gave me the warmest calming welcome and put my mind at ease and gave a wonderful intro to floatation. I was brave. Switched off the light. Complete darkness, weightlessly suspended my muscles finally relaxed, my busy mind left the day behind and stopped whirring for once. Bliss. Before I knew it my time was up. Floated out the door as if on a cloud. WOW a great and much needed experience - I will be back. Thank you x

Completely relieved any discomfort I have been feeling during the late stages of pregnancy, particularly the swelling and the aches and tingling of carpel tunnel. Very relaxing experience. Lovely venue, very clean ❤

Always welcoming and a great atmosphere to relax in!

Amazing experience, took away all stress and tension, very high standard and attention to detail, felt really looked after during the visit, can't recommend enough

Wonderful experience, left me feeling calm, relaxed and rejuvenated. Run by a friendly, knowledgable couple. Definitely recommend

Amazing relaxing experience. Highly recommended! Give it a go!

what an amazing experience I had at float in the forest. Shari are very lovely and know they're stuff and. The whole place is so warm and inviting and the float is a wonderful experience so calming and no distractions from anywhere. I highly recommend float in the forest and will definitely be returning.

Lovely welcoming people, a fabulously relaxing float in a spotlessly clean pod and a gorgeous aromatherapy massage.

I was a bit skeptical at first, as this was a gift from my wife. I'm quite a big guy and the thought of squeezeing myself into a small space although not cloustraphobic, did make me think will I have enough room. I needn't of worried the space was ample I could stretch out entirely. I just had 3 hours sleep as I finished a night shift and thought I would sleep drown not wake up etc. In fact I had quite the opposite sensation I felt very relaxed but alert like my brain and flicked the on off switch my body just needed to enjoy the rest of the day rested. I recommend this to the most skeptical to try as I was quite surprised at what a difference I felt afterwards.

I have been having regular ‘floats’ at Float in the Forest since they opened.
It is a fabulous resource for the Forest.
I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a way to relieve their stress and tension, as it will quickly help them to relax. The facilities and float pods are spotlessly clean and everything is arranged for our convenience.
Chilling out in the comfortable lounge area is a wonderful way to transition between the bliss of the float and getting back into the driving seat to go home!
Many thanks to Shari and Will (and to Helen who gave me a lift back to my car!) 😊

Great experience, very relaxing and run by a very friendly couple who take the time to go through things with you. Loved it and will be back 😁

quite lovely start to finish. these guys know their field and produced a wonderful experience.

My first visit, a Mother’s Day present for my daughters, and I was a little apprehensive. I was greeted by Shari on reception who is the co owner.she definitely put me at my ease, showed where everything was and explained how it all worked.
It took me about 10-15 mins to feel comfortable in the pod but then I was so relaxed I fell asleep!
Give it a try, you might be surprised.

A lovely and deeply relaxing experience and definitely different to what I have ever experienced in a good way 😊
Very friendly and and helpful staff, who guide you through your experience step by step.I would always highly recommended Float in the Forest 💕👌

An enlightening new experience, with everything explained really well to make one feel at ease with the weird and wonderful practice of floating. Can’t wait for my next float! Thank you for giving me a chunk of truly me time, relaxation, pain relief, calm.

Wow!!!
This was my first float and I wasn’t sure what to expect.
Shari showed me round the relaxation room and the float room and explained everything to me.
I felt at ease and I knew exactly what to do with the lid and lights etc.
I wasn’t aware I had relaxed so much I had fallen asleep until I sneezed and made myself jump!! Absolutely amazing and relaxing. I’m coming back again soon.
It’s a fabulous place and I can’t recommend it enough.

Thank you!!!!

very clean, tidy and friendly people, would highly recommend to even the most nervous "non-floater"

friendly, helpful staff. always pleased to see you, nothing is too much trouble

I’ve just been for my first float thanks to a birthday gift from my parents.
Oh wow! It was the most amazing experience and I will definitely be back, I feel so calm and relaxed, my back/neck and shoulder ache has gone and my stress levels have gone right down.
You have to try it to fully appreciate the feeling of an empty mind and not knowing where your body is anymore.
Thank you so much Shari and Will.

Two days ago I had my first ever float. I loved it and have to say it was amazing. Will and Shari who run the center put me at ease straight away and gave me a really good explanation of what to do and how things work. The pod itself was really cool looking and everything was spotlessly clean.
I had worried that I might feel claustrophobic but this just wasn't the case and I even felt happy to turn all the lights off. ( I would definitely recommend doing that).
The experience was really interesting and for someone who can't meditate for the life of them a truly unique, calming and centering experience.
2 days later. I am still feeling great, less little aches and pains. Clearer head.
I am booking my next one for 2 weeks time.

This experience was a revelation, both the time floating and how I felt afterwards. Will and Shari are so considerate, everything has been thought of. The room you use is a very relaxing, neutral setting and the pod is shiny, white and inviting. When you step in the water it is silky and warm, you choose how to experience floating and off you go! Being weightless and without the usual everyday distractions you quickly feel utterly at ease. I underestimated how 'zoned out' I was the first time, both when I got out of the pod and again driving home - I felt like I was moving in slow motion. This is why the relaxation room is the perfect follow-up to the float. How do I feel afterwards? Utterly gorgeous and more flexible in mind and body. I have a history of chronic fatigue and it definitely brought up my energy level. Am I a convert? Oh yes! 🥰🥰🥰

Incredible place perfectly designed for the welness of the mind, body and spirit 😉
Will and Shari are beautiful humans inside and out and they make you feel welcome and cared for from the moment you walk through the doors. If you haven't tried floating before, you will get spoiled as this is easily one of THE BEST places in the UK.
Can't wait to be back! 😀

Everything from the lovely Will & Shari to the experience itself. I will definately be going again. Perfect

Genuinely loved the experience, definitely worth a visit, the team are absolutely lovely and we weren't rushed through, we were given time to relax at our own pace.

I've had quite a few floats now and my goodness, I feel like a new woman / goddess every time I float back out. I'm in my third trimester of pregnancy and floating has been an incredible way to fully relax and ease my body, connect with my baby and calm my mind that's been busy with to do lists. I've had some profound insights and new ideas, and moments of true bliss as I've experienced expanding into something greater than myself. Floating is an amazing experience for mind, body and soul that requires nothing of you other than to let go and relax. I couldn't recommend it more highly. The only negative? Not having a chauffeur to drive me home.

Very clean, clear explanation and a really enjoyable experience.

Float in the Forest is one of the most relaxing spaces I know of. Everything there is designed to instantly take away any stress and tension, before you even begin to float. From the caring owners to the beautiful art on the walls, FitF is a place I love coming to and I know I will continue to come many more times.

In fact, after just my very first float, I found such a deeper connection with my body and it changed my life. Yes, sounds extreme, (and can't be promised for everyone!), but for me personally, I owe these guys a great deal of gratitude and thanks.

calm peaceful environment. made to feel very welcome. everything I needed to know was explained so I was put at ease.
First float but I have two more booked.
Thoroughly relaxing but in a way that's hard to explain. You need to try it.
I have a painful condition and found that an hour of weightlessness was wonderful and gave me a virtually pain free hour. The next hour spent relaxing and drinking turmeric tea (there are plenty of other choices) was brilliant too.
two whole hours to myself in a safe calm space.
Try it.

Wow, I had forgotten what an amazing experience this is. Not only that, Shari and Will have made this place amazing with lots of attention to detail. I feel so good and will be going again.

Took my first float today! Great experience! Felt total relaxation and complete inner peace that carried with me... can’t wait to return to Float in the Forest again soon!!!

A really warm welcome to put you at ease on your first float. superb facilities and one of the most relaxing experiences I have ever had. Well worth a visit and I will be sure to book another appointment when I can.
