I stayed here for a few days on work. My hosted had suggested a chain hotel which would have been more expensive but I found this place on the internet. It has lovely, one-off rooms, set in a lovely large garden. The host, James, is great, and the TV, wifi, etc all worked very well for me. Look no further!

We love Forest Hall! We have stayed there more than once with our now 4 year old little boy. The huge garden with lovely peaceful trees, a trampoline and swimming pool (with a net if required)is a wonderful place to arrive after any journey or flight. James and Hilary are wonderful hosts, accommodating any small concern if any, and the... More

I have just returned from South Africa and spent more than half my time at Forest Hall, 11 nights. I arrived quite exhausted and left restored. I had the room next to the swimming pool. It was huge with a fabulous en suite. I felt comfortable, safe and secure at Forest Hall. I look forward to returning

Our family of four were repeat customers at Forest Hall - a fairly common situation for those that have had the distinct pleasure of experiencing the great service James and HIlary offer their "appreciated" guests. As is so often the case, James's example is followed by the housekeeping team who are efficient, friendly and unobtrusive. Value for money, attentive service,... More

Our stay at Forest Hall was incredible! The rooms are beautifully decorated, and it feels like staying in a friends home (who is a professional decorator) because they are so comfortable. What was even better then the beautiful surroundings and room of Forest Hall was the amazing owners. Not only did James pick us up from the airport, but he... More
