Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is situated right in the heart of the Forest of Dean, offering beautiful surroundings and a convenient location for exploring the amazing forest trails. The rooms are cozy with a charming four-poster bed and a decent sized wall-mounted TV, but I wish there were more comfortable chairs. The service was top-notch, with excellent room service and pet amenities available. The dining experience was delightful with a variety of glazed cakes available. However, the facilities could be improved, especially in terms of additional amenities. Overall, a pleasant stay with great value for money in a serene forest setting.
The hotel offers a cozy stay with charming rooms and excellent service. The location in the Forest of Dean provides a peaceful setting, but amenities like a pool or restaurant could be missed.
The hotel is perfectly situated in the heart of the Forest of Dean, offering a serene setting surrounded by nature. The rooms are cozy and well-equipped, but lack climate control. The service is attentive and accommodating, with room service available upon request. However, the dining options are limited, and the facilities could benefit from additional amenities.
