Really nice room and clean. Food was very good and a nice cosy atmosphere in the restaurant. The service was a bit slow but there didn’t seem to be many staff.

A nice little hotel.

We were greeted by a lovely young woman (I didn’t get her name but she had lovely brown curly hair) who checked us in. I had requested a low floor room due to mobility issues but I don’t think this had been actioned as she looked at my walking stick and asked if I would like a ground floor room, and then checked which rooms were ready and switched us to that one. The room was adequate, if a little tired. With a little maintenance it could be lovely again, just a few things that let it down. It was by the main road though opposite a car park which seemed to be a gathering spot for petrol heads who sat in their cars revving up etc. We were a little worried this would go on till late in the night but it settled down quite early so we were thankful for that. We ate in the restaurant at the hotel and found the staff, service and food to be absolutely delicious. The staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and the setting of the restaurant is lovely. The blonde haired lady (possibly the manager) was lovely to our dog and sorted out a billing issue for me the next day. All in all a nice one night stop over and we would return. I would just urge the company that owns these properties to carry on investing in them as I find so many are just running them on a shoestring and not caring about the customer experience anymore. Keep up the good work forest to keep it the lovely place it is.

Had zero sleep become of other guest's. Couldn't go to report this because there wasnt any staff.got up to shower in the morning as there was only one towel between two people. Was told there was shampoo and wash so wouldnt need any and when i went to shower they was all empty. Told staff when checking out early and their reply was well we cant do anything about guests making noises but about the rest i will let staff know for next time. There will not be another time!

Shame

Restaurant is lovely and so is the food. We’re regulars in the restaurant but have never stayed overnight. We were unfortunately rather disappointed with our room. The carpet was frayed at the doorway and the whole carpet was dirty. There were marks on the walls too. Overall the decor was quite pleasant but the room is very tired. Basically okay for somewhere functional but not if you’re looking for a lovely hotel.

Disappointing

I've stayed before and the rooms are nice enough, I can only assume they're currently sort staffed. Checked in after a long day, no remote in the room, commented Tuesday morning. Checked out Friday, room had not been serviced during the four night stay, no remote added. I guess a nice place for a one night stay.
