Unfortunately there was a wedding at the property, the dining area was very loud and overrun with wedding guests. We were put in a room right next to the venue and the music was blaring out till midnight - not great when you were up at 6am to travel to The Forest of Dean and then can’t sleep till after the wedding has finished. Very disappointing and now I am very tired for my drive home!!

Steeped in history. Bang smack in the Forest of Dean & very doggy friendly. The history needs to remain in the hotel bar & restaurant but the bedrooms & bathrooms certainly need to be updated. Menu mediocre but sufficient for visiting but you wouldn’t book a table & go out of your way to eat there.

The attention to detail, both with the helpfulness of the staff and the restoration of such a classic historical building. As the four poster bed was so high, there was even a stool provided to help you climb in. The room felt of its period in every way, but the bathroom was fully up to date.

Appealing Restuarant
The Resturant food was very good indeed. We had a delightful evening meal with attractively priced wine. The ‘four poster’ room was large and well equipped. Just missing water and dressing gowns.
