We had booked lunch here. Place looks lovely and service was really nice. We have ordered a sandwich each which was 7.50 - 8 (London prices) and I expected a "homemade" style sourdough bread and quality ingredients. What we received was tesco style cheap toast bread sandwich with very thin layer of filling and unfortunately it tasted as disappointing as it looked. Maybe dinner menu is good but I will not risk to find out myself.

We were attending a wedding at the castle. Tudor farmhouse is staggering distance from the venue. Our room was quirky and comfortable and quiet considering we faced out onto the road. Breakfast was lovely.

Booked a table of 9 for a baby shower and they let us decorate the table for the occasion. : Lovely food, drinks, atmosphere and service! Will definitely come back again.

This hotel should be a 4*, not 3*. The place is absolutely beautiful nestled in between the woodland, the food is AA rosette and the staff are really what makes the experience so fantastic! What we adored most about our rooms during our stay was the sheer detail and thought that goes into each of them making them incredibly bespoke and just an utter joy to stay in. One of the best staycations we have been on and we will be back. Kaya x

We stayed here just for a night when we attended a friend's wedding at the nearby castle. We had one of the smallest rooms but it was beautifully furnished and had everything that you could possibly need. We only had breakfast in the lovely restaurant, but is was great and you could see what a nice place it would be to eat dinner. The staff are absolutely lovely and really look after you well. There are a variety of rooms and they all look inviting me to stay in. If you are looking for somewhere to stay in the Forest of Dean, then this would provide you with great accommodation, great food and you will be very well looked after.
