6/10 Good

Very outdated and looked a bit grubby. Staff were mostly nice but there were a couple of grumpy staff. The bed wa very comfy but had a very hard headboard which I knocked my head on. The four poster bed that we paid extra for was ugly and the decor in the room did not match at all. Quite basic for the price

The Speech House is a lovely historic building in the most magnificent setting in the Forest of Dean. The staff was exceptional, the food was wonderful, parking was easy. The only downside was the size of our room being rather small.

We went to the speech house hotel in September 26. We had good weather which helped as we took our dog. The room was small and compact and no where to sit other than on the bed. The hotel itself looked very nice and as we had a dog we had to eat in the orangery which I'm thankful for as the other room to eat in looked very dated. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The menu was a bit limited especially if you were on a longer stay. I think the hotel would struggle to accommodate all the guests in the winter especially if it was raining as there doesn't seem to be enough rooms inside the hotel. Our stay was pleasant as we did a lot of walking so didn't spend a lot of time in the hotel other than meal times. I think the 15 pounds a day charge for a dog is a bit excessive as as we were only provided with a towel and dog bowl and most owners bring there own bedding for their dogs. We didn't think they even did the floor as there were still bits on it when coming back from a day out. Would l go there again probably if they charged a proper rate for a dog as if you went for a week it would cost you 105 pounds excessive in the least.

This is a lovely old-fashioned country hotel with a massive charm appeal. We stayed in a room in the cottage which was great with a sitting area as well as comfortable bedroom and bathroom. Everything was in good condition though the age of the building meant some aspects were a little dated and keeping on top of repairs must be difficult - and due to location, the wifi was poor. Breakfast was exceptional - cooked to order and of the highest quality - though the coffee was only filter style from an urn. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recmmend - provided you are not looking for the latest mod-cons
