Pros:

Nit much. We decided to upgrade to the better rooms but they were still just average

Cons:

Sound proofing between rooms was very poor- our neighbours left their noisy bathroom fan on all evening and didn't switch off until 12 midnight and back on at 6.30am . We could clearly hear their conversations.
The pillows were thin and hard- one pillow not enough and two was too much and had a stiff neck.

Great location for walking in the forest of dean
Pros:

The size of the room was amazing.

Cons:

The family room was located right between 2 fire doors, so it can get noisy with people coming in and out all night with the door slamming.

The TV was broken
