From first arrival until checking out a day early this place was well below standard. Arrived at 2.35 for 3 pm check in and kept at the door & told to visit village & return later. Woman on reception like a sargent major very abrupt and more bothered about making sure you remembered all the rules and regulations like only... More

If you like real fires and candles with a friendly, articulate owner this is the place for you. The badgers each night were a wonderful addition. We would definitely return. More

I booked this 2 night break via KGB as it seemed like a bargain. As soon as I booked I wished I'd not bothered. There were very limited dates available and unfortunately due to illness the dates I did eventually manage to book needed to be re-scheduled. I tried to ring the hotel several times but there is never any... More

We were shown to our room on... More

The hotel is manned by four staff and managed by Ann. When we arrived we were given a lengthy diatribe about how hard it was to run the place to a high standard and... More

My friend and I were after two single rooms, which quite last minute, can be a challenge. So many of the recently refurbished hotels only offer double rooms. One B&B I called suggested we try here, then had second thoughts, saying they weren't sure we'd like it. When a second B&B gave a more positive recommendation, I decided to check... More

We had a comfortable stay in Forest Side. Ann manages to achieve a lot given the exteme limitations she finds herself subject to in terms of budget and support. She souldn't, however, engage in endless moaning about this to guests. We had the KGB deal and were made to feel like we had done something wrong and we were in... More
