Very pleasant up-market hotel

Very pleasant small up-market hotel near to Forest of Dean. Room and general decor is very nice and modern even though the house itself is an old one. Breakfast was really great as was the location.

A relaxing and friendly hotel

Perfect place for catching up with old friends

We met up with friends for an annual catch up and although we had not visited this hotel before it was ideal. Friendly welcome, nothing to much trouble, we booked an evening meal and had a relaxed time with a great quality meal. Spent two nights there, a clean and spacious double room enjoying the surrounding area during the day returning to a welcome cool drink in the hotels garden, objective achieved. .

Fabulous place to stay. Very comfortable accommodation for a family of four. Delicious and plentiful breakfast. Well worth staying for dinner also, fairly priced for excellent tasting food and service.

Pleasant stay

Exceptional service. Delicious food. Very friendly staff. On the top floor, our room had pitched ceilings. This was a hindrance as I am 6ft tall. The wardrobe was not long enough to hang my Wife's dress. Limited parking. Would stay again nonetheless.

Great Hotel Close to Clearwell Castle

We stayed at the Forest House hotel for two night whilst attending a wedding at Clearwell Castle. The hotel was lovely with all of the usual facilities you'd expect. There was a good choice at breakfast and the food was very nice.The location was close to Clearwell Castle but taxi's were required. Taxi's are hard to get hold of in this area so you have to plan ahead and pre-book. The staff at Forest House were excellent. They made us feel very welcome and offered local knowledge and recommednations which was invalubale.

Wonderful short break at the Forest House

We booked a short overnight stay at the Forest House and were very pleased with the experience. The hosts were very friendly and hospitable, the coffee machine in the reception area was a very nice touch. The evening meal in Andersen's restaurant was exceptionally good. Definitely a highlight of our stay. We really appreciated Barbara accommodating us. The location was ideal, right up the street of the quaint market town, and a short drive to the heart of the forest. We can't wait to return for a longer stay.

Perfect Stay!

We could not of asked for a better stay! Barbara is very accommodating and made everything possible. Our room was very spacious and clean, and a perfect example of a old English home. The choice for breakfast was endless and the food in the restaurant at dinner is amazing! If you like to run, the recommendation to run down the cycle path through the woods was perfect. The hotel is perfectly positioned for a wedding in Clearwell Castle. We will certainly be back one day to explore the Forest of Dean
