Charming accommodations in a charming town. Certainly not luxury but is a comfortable stay.
Pros:

This was a charming accommodation in the perfect location for our needs. With the bus stop right outside the door, transport could not have been more convenient. There were also a lot of food options very close by - restaurants and grocery stores. Staff was helpful and the included breakfast was a hearty and yummy start to our days. The building is old and the floors were uneven and wonky, but that was part of the charm and character. The shower was surprisingly large and while there were stains on the wall and some parts of the room, it was clean. If I found myself in Coleford again, I wouldn't hesitate to stay here.

Cons:

Noise can be an issue as our room faced on to a main road, but it really wasn't too much of an issue for us as the traffic picked up in the morning commute hours but not so much an issue overnight. The pub was not open very late on the nights we were there so noise related to that was not an issue during our stay. Could updates and a refresh be made to the accommodations? Absolutely. But that would not stop me from staying there.

Hotel was in a great location. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Room was nicely decorated.
Pros:

The breakfast was great. Lots of options to precise from.

Cons:

It would have been nice to have food available in the evening. We brought in our own as the kitchen was closed. They staff were great about providing plates, utensils etc for our food.

Lovely place to stay as a jumping off point for the area
Pros:

The room itself was wonderful. So spacious and felt luxurious. The bathroom was spotlessly clean. Room servicing each day was exceptional. Leah, who checked us in, was EXCELLENT.

Cons:

Slightly shabby wallpaper in our room and in the hallway. Also, the fireplace in the breakfast room had plastic sheeting showing. We are nitpicking here though...

Pros:

Old charm and features, in both room and throughout building. Nice surroundings.
Free nearby car park an advantage.

Cons:

The room had an old 'musty' smell but was excusable considering the age.
The advertised "view" was only possible on tiptoes, through a small window, overlooking the high street only.

All in all a very nice reasonably priced hotel.
Pros:

very good breakfast and organised well (had to choose breakfast and time slot the night before). Fantastic large, fluffy towels in bathroom. Lovely old building with lots of character,

Cons:

Our room was at the front - roadside so was quite noisy. That said Coleford isn't that busy a town as our stay was a Sunday night , so again not too bad. I I'd have known the area at all I would have asked for a room at the rear (if there are any).

Great Location for Forest of Dean attractions, but accomodation was of disappointing quality.
Pros:

Breakfast was OK. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom was good

Cons:

This is a pub with rooms. Only the barman there when I arrived, so a 15 min wait to check in. Advertised as a superior room with balcony, but the "Balcony" was the narrow felted roof of the bay window below, accessible only with difficulty through the narrow opening in the lower secondary glazing of the floor to ceiling windows. Frankly, not worth the extra over a standard double. Inside of the windows was very dirty. Faced the town square, but no nets at the window for privacy, so had to close curtains when changing. Room very hot, but at least a fan was provided. No-one around at check out to report issues. No information in room. I had to get the wi-fi code from the bar - another wait to be served. Quite pleasant on a Sunday and Monday, but very noisy from the bar next door and the street on Saturday night until 1am. Because of the heat, reluctant to close the windows. The main entrance is a popular place for smokers, despite the No Smoking sign. Consequently, littered with fag-ends. The place did not do food in the evenings, which was not clear in the information.

Disappointed
Pros:

Location was good, a decent Italian restaurant nearby.

Cons:

Quality of deluxe room did not meet expectations, carpet and furnishing had dust. The shower room was reasonable, but water did not drain and mirror light not functioning. A fan supplied worked but not stable, window closures hard to operate. Curtains ok, but no means of restricting a view into the room apart from pulling the curtains.
Breakfast ok, but sausage was poor quality.

Ok for one night. I was on my own and didn't feel comfortable going to anywhere other than my room
Pros:

Breakfast was well cooked. No fruit available.
Bed comfortable

Cons:

Out dated appearance. Carpet dirty on entrance and stairs. Was hoping to go to the bar in the evening. Dark and dingy looking and uninviting. Spent evening in my room as did not feel comfortable anywhere else.
No parking. Was told parking was free in Lidl/co-op car park. This was not true. Paid £4.40 for overnight in Co-op
Bus stop right outside my window and so noisy evening and early morning.

Best experience of England accommodation and Coleford is the perfect town to explore Puzzlewood forest.
Pros:

The quirkiness of this place is wonderful and I felt right at home at this pub/ hotel. Best nights sleep in a month after leaving Australia and exploring 4 other countries….

Cons:

It was too far away off our travel to return for another night…
