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.

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.

Nice hotel, nice setting ( take an eye mask,light getting in room at night, that’s the trouble with curtain poles and curtains with eyelet holes) Lovely breakfast very filling so much choice

10/10 Exceptional

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.
