Lovely stay. Staff were so nice and really made our stay.
My only complaint was the corridor light remained on all night and shone under the door. I had to put a towel at the bottom of the door to block some of the light.
Hotel was nice, a bit dated in places but this didn't ruin the stay. Swimming pool was lovely.
Rooms either side of us were very noisy until around 11.30pm which woke our sleeping child several times. And then again in the morning with children running up and down the corridor.
Great location, so peaceful at night and in the morning, surrounded by nature. Great service, food options (restaurant in the hotel), we stayed for one night for a little getaway and had a continental breakfast which was very lovely. We tried the pool and the water was good temperature.
The rooms and the swimming pool area are in need of some TLC. It was all clean, but perhaps some TLC at least in the bathrooms and also definitely more chairs or loungers around the pool area.
Warm indoor pool! Kids loved it. Lovely staff. Great ambience. Lovely beds. Kids had good sized bunk beds.
It was a very nice place to stay, the room was nice and clean.
The bed was clean and comfortable.
It had tea and coffee with fresh milk if required.
The room temperature was perfect.
The bathroom fan was quite noisy.
The most comfortable bed I have ever slept on
Very warm and welcoming
Lovely walks a very relaxing get away
Very clean
Lovely location
Comfy bed, good location and friendly breakfast staff.
No house keeping, kept having to ask for breakfast items and room coffee items not supplied until requested. Cooked breakfast not value for money.
Location very good. Room nice and clean but very small. Personel so lovely
Very small room and very small bed. Breakfast no good.
Das Zimmer war sehr (!) schmutzig doch das Badezimmer war die Härte, schmutzig und abgenutzt ist nur der Vorname, die Matrazen waren mehr als schrecklich (defekt, nicht einfach nur benutzt), neue Duschtücher oder Zimmerreinigung gabs nicht, Kaffee und Tee hätte an der Rezeption geholt werden müssen, das Frühstück war am absoluten Minimum (warme Speisen kosten extra) und das Personal war alles andere als freundlich. Bei uns war der Pool in Revison. Wir wurden rechtzeitig darüber informiert was für uns passte. Als Alternative hätten wir den Pool des Schwesterhotels benutzen dürfen. Am Abend hatte uns die Mitarbeiterin unseres Hotels telefonisch beim Schwesterhotel angemeldet ( ich stand beim Telefonat daneben). Als wir beim Schwesterhotel ankamen wurden wir an der Rezeption richtig unfreundlich oder besser noch verachtend behandelt. Dennoch bekammen wir nach mehrfachem nachfragen den Pin-Code für den Pool. Als wir den Vorraum des Pool gefunden hatten wurde uns gesagt, dass wir uns im WC umziehen müssen.Auch hier, dreckig ist untertrieben. Mit zwei zugedrückten Augen haben wir uns dann umgezogen. In Badehosen betraten wir den Raum mit dem Pool. Überraschung, am Poolrand sass eine junge Frau, die uns höfflich darauf aufmerksam machte, dass der Pool geschlossen ist bzw. aktuell nur für Kinder-Schwimmkurse genutzt wird. Als ich die unfreudliche Rezeptionistin mit dieser Situation konfrontierte, war sie sichtlich unbeeindruckt. Auch die Mitarbeiter der Forest Lodge füllten sich absolut nicht in der Verantwortung... schlechter Gästeservice wie im Bilderbuch!
Breakfast was excellent, really great menu choices.
The entire hotel staff team were super friendly and could not do enough to ensure each guest had a memorable stay. The position of the hotel made walking into the town so easy. The bar and lounge areas had a good atmosphere.
The bedroom was a little small as was the shower.
Great location
Great size and comfortable rooms
The pool area could do with refurbishing
Hotel and staff were lovely 🌹
The food was not great
Lively old building set back from room. Good view from bedroom. Nice size room. Great breakfast both cooked and continental
Curtain over radiator in bedroom so heat not getting into room
Location was great but the breakfast not so much the buffet was fine but the cooked questionable .. asked for a poached egg it just arrived wet and alone slipped onto a plate with no toast or anything . I know u could make your own but the chef could have done it and presented it better it will just get cold while I have to wait for the toast ..
The catering I feel is a problem and lack of enough decent chefs . Some were seated for Christmas lunch at 1.30 and didn’t get any food before nearly 3 o clock . Some customers were offered extra bowls of veg and greens and others were not . The veg was not well done the parsnips were hard and minuscule , no sauces were offered like cranberry etc and my dad was disappointed with a small Christmas pudding slopped in custard ?! No flambé or brandy butter ? The wait and lack of decent veg, no sprouts but a wilted spring onion and a pile of parsley was odd .. plus the pigs in blankets were not cooked well the sausage was white ! and no Brandy butter was a disappointment. How ever over all the staff were very kind and friendly .plus the bar food was over priced and lacking . I couldn’t eat the pizza and I heard one customer ordered “ hearty beef and there was no beef and the same with the stroganoff ?!
Only problem was the noise when trying to sleep with the refrigeration unit for the bar outside window emitted constant hum which seemed louder at night.
The bed and the views.
