Parking was very easy.
The whole place had a cosy feel about it and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful! All very clean, tidy and warm in the main building.
Lots of choice at breakfast and a very cosy reading room - a good idea!

Beautiful setting, the room was pretty, clean , and comfortable. Sophia was amazing in communicating for an after hours check in. The breakfast was delicious and the whole stay was perfect. Would stay here again for sure!
A relaxing Elizabethan Manor House which maintains its character and architectural features, with a great oak door giving access to the reception.

The staff here were wonderful! From the moment we walked in, Tori was the epitome of a warm welcome. As a last-minute booking, we truly hadn't been expecting too much, so were completely blown away with the history of this place. Kevin, Milly and the lady who had worked with horses (can't remember her name now..), all of them were just marvelous. The gardens here are also beautiful - just what we needed after a full day of hiking and exploring.
Very mixes businesses. Cafe was excellent. . Hotel Globe Inn, for dinner had far from friendly staff who did not volunteer obvious information and the staff member rude. It was like we were intruding on the locals. On another evening at a different hotel we were abruptly told, "kitchen is closed". It was a Wednesday. We had walked a mile to get to this pub which was full of locals drinking. We wearily walked away toward another pub but one of the gentlemen who had witnessed what happened pulled up beside us and gave us a lift to the one that was serving meals.*

Sadly, the shops were shut and some permanently closed.
Sadly, the shops were shut and some permanently closed. I should imagine it was a thriving town once. Couldn't see much in the way of entertainment but close to other places of interest. Taxi service although they all offered different prices to the same place?

The general area and the woodlands were fantastic.
The general area and the woodlands were fantastic. However, the town of Coleford was very disappointing. It had a run-down feel about it with not a lot to see or do. The tourist information was very helpful.
Symonds Yat Rock was incredible with superb views, well worth a visit. The Arboretum has a lovely walk with beautiful trees. The Sculpture trail was well worth doing and professionally laid out.
A visit to the City of Gloucester is well worth doing, especially the renovated old docks area.

This lovely hotel, is perfect, for all age ranges, it has something for everyone. The staff, really make you feel, very welcome and are so very helpful, this gives the hotel, a lovely friendly feel, which makes all the difference, to a travellers experience.
Welcome pack was an added bonus and we made good use of the tea and hot chocolate. Having milk and biscuits to hand meant we could rest before going out to buy provisions. The location was excellent being in the centre of Coleford meant plenty of choice for eating out or take away. Dishwasher was a bonus so no washing up. Loved the decor very retro 60/70s theme.
Bed was warm and comfy and plenty of coat hangers.
Tony was helpful.,warm and friendly.
Overall an excellent place to stay.
Arrived at property carpet was wet in bedroom. Strong smell of damp on wall and we found damp too. Called cottage company who offered full refund so we could stay in a hotel. Property was not suitable for us to stay in with children. Was very disappointing we were there for an 85th birthday and had to spend three times as much on a hotel to make the weekend work. Very disappointed, would not recommend.
Location was great for exploring the Forest of Dean Area.
Very quiet and peaceful.
Property was spacious and very well equipped, plenty of fresh towels, kitchen essentials etc.
Plenty of storage space and drawers. Lots of plug points in handy places.
The lodge had a smart tv with Netflix and WiFi was excellent throughout.
The lodge was warm and comfortable.
We liked the location of the property and it allowed us to get to our tour easily and get dinner from Coleford later in the evening. The beds were comfortable and the house well made up and clean for us. The owner coming to house to give us access and turn on services was helpful and they were very friendly and accommodating with the leaving time also.
The bed was comfortable and the room was a really good size. Breakfasts were good and worth paying for in advance. The location of the hotel gives you easy access to a lot of the Forest of Dean and also gives easy access to areas of Wales if you don’t mind a short drive. You’re also close enough to the town that you can pop in if you want to.
A great hotel in the middle of the Forest of Deam. Easy driving access to sites within the Forest and historic sites along the Welsh border including Tintern Abbey, Raglan Castle, and Chepstow Castle. The food was excellent in both the Orangery and Verderer's Restaurant. The room was great with a living area and separate bedroom.
The room was to a very good standard, nicely decorated. The bed was comfortable. Dinner was to a high standrad and breakfast was too. The staff were very friendly and checked inbetween both my meals if everything was ok and whether I needed anything else. I would stay here again no problem as I visit Coleford regularly.
fantastic quirky house, very tastefully decorated, comfortable and spacious, dishwasher, washing machine plus a sauna!! Owner very helpful. great for cycling, Forest of Dean, adventures, walking in Coleford, lovely little town with all you need.
Comprehensive breakfast with good variety, although no smoked salmon. The setting of the hotel was excellent with picturesque views and a lovely garden. Very friendly staff.
