Forest of Dean Hotel Guide - Family Friendly Hotels in Forest of Dean, England

"Great rooms."

"Good place to get away. Spa facilities good and clean room"

"Disappointed with some of the trip as I was told this was a high level hotel with real distinction. £25 to park my car in car park for the overnight stay???? On arrival my room was not ready at 1:30pm & was promised I would be called when it was ready. Eventually after 3 o’clock I went back to ask about my room and was told I could’ve been given a room when I first came that was ready but just mine wasn’t ready yet. The staff member didn’t understand why I hadn’t been offered this option. I had ordered an oat milk. I had ordered an oat milk cappuccino and told them it had to be Sawyer or oat and was then served a cows milk cappuccino. Only when I tried it did I question it with the staff who confirmed it was not out milk. Only after this had happened did she ask me if I had an allergy. My room was old-fashioned but suitable and the bed and pillow is comfortable. Wi-Fi was okay and adequate speed. When I wanted an evening meal and rang to 2 of the restaurants, I would have to wait over an hour to be able to get a meal and at 9 pm for one of them was way too late. I was told to go to Merlin spa where I could eat and need no reservation but it really only had a burger, chicken wings and some sandwiches to eat. The chicken wings were okay but nothing special at £15 with chips included. The best part of the entire trip was the excellent breakfast which was phenomenal and extremely high-quality."

"Staff were very helpful throughout our stay, especially o arrival and breakfast."

"The room was clean and relatively comfortable but noisy and there was no WiFi. The manager was on phone as I asked reception and I could have worked from the communal areas but not from the room. Breakfast was ok."

"The room was clean. Staff friendly enough breakfast was great as we were able to eat in the bar with our dog"

"Clean nice rooms and great location. Would stay here again."

"The hotel itself is an impressive building, but it is clearly in need of renovation. We stayed in an outside room (No. 17), which felt quite dated and would benefit from some updating. During our stay, there was an unpleasant sewage smell coming from the bathroom, which was disappointing. The room was also very warm, and adjusting the radiator thermostats didn’t seem to have any effect. As a result, we had to open the window, but this meant dealing with constant noise from the busy road outside, which made it difficult to sleep. On the positive side, there were plenty of parking spaces available, and the staff were very friendly and welcoming."

"We checked that we could get an accessible room before making the booking. We also stated our requirements on the booking form. The request was on the system but unfortunately not fulfilled. We were told if we didn’t accept the room, we would not be refunded (even though the hotel had admitted fault). We were then taken outside (in the rain), to go through the bar, restaurant and many doors before reaching our room. The rooms are extremely outdated, with no air conditioning and the radiator being on, with no means to turn it off. The tiny gap in the open window did nothing to help the situation. Accessibility for wheelchair users is ridiculous. I can honestly say it is one of the worst, disorganised places we have ever had the misfortune to stay at "
