Nr Coleford, The Forest Of Dean, Coleford, GB
It was a last minute booking due to cancellation by previous hotel. Wouldnt recommend.
6.0Location. Big room.
− Hot and noisy due to wedding. Dated.
A very pleasant stay.
7.0Excellent location with good parking. All of the staff were very pleasant. Megan was particularly helpful.
− Absence of a lift. To find information about the accommodation, I was obliged to scan a QR icon. When breakfast was in the smaller dining area, the toast machine was not available.
Gemütlicher Garten und tolle Gegend im Wald
8.0Gemütlicher Garten und Restaurant. Das Frühstück war sehr reichhaltig.
− Das Zimmer war sehr klein, dafür das Bad umso grösser.
OK but could do better
7.0The food in the restaurant was excellent
− My room was very warm and my quilt would have suited mid winter rather than mid summer!!
Enjoyable.
8.0Good location. Nice oldie worldie decor.
− A lift would have helped. The four flights to my room were grueling! Many of the staff could have benefited from more/better training, particularly the waitresses. When I ordered lamb I was not asked how I wanted it cooked and when it came I had to send it back to be cooked more. However Megan was very obliging and dynamic in the Orangerie and I would recommend her for employee of the month! I was charged twice for my final bill. Luckily it was quickly detected and I was reimbursed but nevertheless it should not have happened.
Had an amazing stay and would love to return in the future.
10.0Lovely friendly hotel and staff. Beautiful bedrooms and places to sit in and relax. Pretty garden and orangery to eat in. Great breakfast and meals in hotel. Plenty of parking.
− Nothing, all great.
