Staff were great, breakfast was great. I stayed in a double room in the cottage. Room had all the amenities. Bed was a bit soft for me, and none of the TV Channels had any signal. Would stay in the main or another building next time

Great location for Forest of Dean

Lovely room in main house, full of character and nice and clean. Being old, it is very creaky and you can hear everyone moving about in the room next door. It is in a great location for Forest of Dean, good parking (with EV charger), two nice restaurants (we ate in the orangery and the food was great). Only thing we expected was shower gel and shampoo to be in the room, (apparently there should have been some but they were missing from our room). Other than that it was a very nice stay.

Fantastic location. Restaurant pleasant and friendly staff especially the young lady that sat us to our table and took our order, The food I had was very nice although my hubby’s steak was not of good quality. The cosy courtyard room was quite small. A little tired but we wasn’t looking for posh. My big problem is having to pay £60 for 2 dogs 2 nights when they had very little floor space to be comfortable sleeping on there beds. There’s no special cleaning in this dog friendly room so why the high price for them to stay.
