An honest review

When I arrived there wasn’t a member of staff at reception. I had to wait around 5 minutes before someone arrived. I was given the “penthouse suite” (room 12). Straight away when I opened the door an awful odour lingered around the room. The cleaners had obviously noticed the same thing and opened all the windows and turned the desk fan on prior to my arrival. The room itself could do with re-decorating, as there were chips of paint out of the doors, the cream carpets within the room were absolutely disgusting and could do with either a deep clean or ripping up completely. The bathroom had a very dated bath and showering wasn’t an option as they only had the head and no where you could hang up. I didn’t eat within the hotel as everything I’d experienced put me off. On a brighter note parking wasn’t an issue. But I would never stay here again.

Stayed here for one night and booked the superior king room. Room was nice size and clean. Was a little noisy on the evening as below our window is the outside seating area for the bar. Breakfast following morning was very nice .

We arrived late on Sunday so went to the bar at 9.20pm and bought a bottle of wine only to be told that tge bar was shutting at 9.30pm and we could take the bottle to our room !!! The continental breakfast was very poor and no marmalade in the hotel for toast at breakfast.
Huw, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

This is a tired hotel which, on the day I visited (which was hot and therefore needed the windows open) was noisy from the bar and had no car parking (because the bar was busy). The bathroom only had a hand held shower and bathroom was also tired. Breakfast was continental only up to 9am and only available from 7:30am (not great if you are working).
Nicola, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Stayed one night as had a family party nearby . The room and staff where lovely . Our room was above the bar . When we arrived back at 11pm it was very noisy . 12.30 we complained as people were gathering outside and there was still a lot of noise downstairs. They eventually moved on
Elizabeth, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel is very nice and the room was large with quality linen, towels, toiletries etc… However, the hotel is an old building and it shows in some places for example the windows in bedroom. We had no hot water in the morning due to an issue with one of the boilers which we were told is old. It is a lovely place to stay but needs a refurb in places.
Jeremy, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The room had so much potential, but it was needed some TLC, as did the public hallways. The shower was terrible water pressure and the carpets and upholstery all needed a good steam clean.

10/10 Exceptional

Utterly fantastic

Absolutely amazing and fantastic from the moment we arrived until the moment we left. Having spent the day at the Game Fair we were all totally shattered, and sadly (our own fault) reception advised they hadn’t got any dinner tables left. However a while later they managed to squeeze us in abd nothing was too much trouble The food was superb, the atmosphere wonderful, and the room’s fantastic Will deffo be staying here again! Thenkyou to everyone for a fantastic stay at the Forest Hotel

Disappointed birthday stay

We had no hot water in our shower, also pipes making loud noises all night so didn’t get much sleep, and it was filthy in our room, the toilet hadn’t been touched from the previous occupants, and the towels smelled musty and damp, we were really disappointed considering the cost of the hotel, we could of stayed in a premier in for a little less, but guaranteed a better shower and room
