This is a pub with accommodation in the car park, not really a hotel and also backs onto an estate where kids are running around at all hours. But rooms are nice with a tea and coffee tray available, bathroom was ok-powerful shower but small and needed a repaint. Pub grub was big portions and cheap but staff are less than interested! Room was ok as a base but not ideal on the ground floor as you can hear every sound from above, we would have liked to of been closer to the forest for less driving. Breakfast was cereal, toast and full English but not great so we opted for eggs and toast. Also we found a lot of local pubs (even those in leaflets) were now closed or boarded up, so ring ahead.

At £65 b&b for a triple room on a Saturday night this really was exceptional value for money. The motel style room was clean and adequately sized. The carpet, furniture and bathroom suite all seemed to be quite newish. The beds were comfortable, although there was some late night noise from local youths who were skateboarding which light sleepers might find disturbing.

The service was prompt and friendly checking-in, ordering food and checking-out. Breakfast was enjoyable with a choice of cereals, yogurts and cooked selection (including full English). Food in the evening was standard pub fare and portions were gigantic. There was some very good live entertainment on in the bar although this could not be heard from the room.

Good children's play area outside and children are generally made to feel very welcome. High chairs are available in the restaurant and there are baby change facilities.

Easy access to all Forest of Dean attractions.

I stayed at The Belfry, Littledean, for two nights from the 3rd to the 5th September with seven friends, we used it as a base to tour Mid and North Wales on our motorbikes. The rooms were well appointed and clean and all the staff were pleasant and helpful. We used the bar and restaurant for dinner, breakfast and evening drinks and it was all very congenial. The location, close to the Welsh border, provided plenty of opportunities to tour out from the Forest of Dean to the Brecon Beacons. We were charged a rate which we all felt was very reasonable. We chose The Belfry on the recommendation of one of our number who had stayed there before. Overall it represented excellent value for money; we’ll likely use it again, and would have no hesitation in further recommending it.

It is lovely when a hotel that you expect little from delivers so much. I stayed here 1 night in January and this is the headliner – double room, breakfast, steak dinner, 2 beers 2 wines - £51. This hotel is a bargain but it isn’t low rent in terms of niceness. The rooms are US motel style located in a 2 story ‘chalet’ type arrangement at the rear of the pub. They are of reasonable size with shower, terrestrial TV (Sky in the bar) and plenty of shelf / hanging space. The double bed was extremely comfortable and the sheets and towels were all of very high quality. OK the rooms are not luxurious in terms of fixtures but I have stayed in far worse for three times the price.

In the Pub both the dinner and breakfast were lovely, very well cooked and large portions. The only minor criticism here would be a lack of pub atmosphere as the place is geared more towards food. All the staff were friendly and capable.

One thing to bear in mind is that mobile phone signals are hard to come by in this area so don’t stay here if you need to be in constant contact with the office.

The Belfry represents extreme value for money and in this area I will, henceforth, stay nowhere else. Well done the Belfry.
