My friend and I have just spent three days at Bells Hotel and Forest of Dean Golf and Bowls Club - and what a find! Under new ownership there has been a total refurbishment to first class standard.

As keen and seasoned golfing travellers my wife and I have stayed at many golfing venues. This ranks among best, in terms of quality of hotel, sumptuous food and a top class golfing experience - All at a very competitive rate. Staff both in the Hotel and linked to the golf course could not have been more helpful. We previously... More

Thoroughly recommend this hotel after a revisit for a 2 night stay. A very recent tasteful and expensive refurb to Hotel and Clubhouse, now under new owners, has transformed a formerly slightly tired establishment into a very comfortable, well furnished, attractive and enjoyable place to stay. Excellent standard and value meals coupled with friendly attentive staff from the top level... More
