Forest Park Hotel  

It was a very relaxing cosy hotel. Stayed with family, which catered for our group very well. Good location

Toilet smell on the ground floor, leading My Cheese & Mushroom Omelette was very greasy on Sunday lunch,

Comfortable and quiet

We were disappointed with the en-suite which was small and a partitioned area in the main room. When booking through Bookingcom, I though you showed a room with large bay windows but the room we had was nothing like that.

Good location

Not very clean and to many noisy smelly dogs. Staff had very little local information.

The magnificent and unchanging entrance. The friendly welcome and staff. The overall ambiance.

The beds are too hard.

It had a very relaxed atmosphere, very welcoming staff. We felt very comfortable and will definately consider returning next year.

We did find the room above the kitchen a bit noisy in the evening at times.

Good value,in good location

I had a lovely view and the hot water was always available for a bath. The room was reasonable price and I was left to my own devices which I like. The fire was lit in the lobby on my second day which made it more cosy.

THe mattress was uncomfortable. The smell in the hall as I walked up to my room was not as fresh as I would like.

I loved the peace and quiet , being Christmas it was decorated beautifully and the staff very friendly.

I liked the comfort of the hotel and the way the staff put themselves out to help me in all sorts of ways. It was very friendly.

It has a lovely reception area with nice staff. The rooms that I saw (2 double rooms) were an adequate size.

The plumbing was a bit archaic and the mattress was very very firm.

The staff, food and the size of my room were excellent

The hotel needs redecoration and a little modernisation. You took pot luck in the shower. Sometimes you were frozen other times you were burnt!! The lock on my room door (no3) was 'removable' and took some time to ensure you had locked it. The wardrobe in my room had no handles on the doors when I first arrived. I managed to open them and also found one of the handles on the top of the wardrobe and fitted it back on the door. I felt that the hotel was understaffed and neglected by senior management of the group that now own it so I did not mention any of this during my stay.

The beds were very comfy. We were in a ground floor room which opened onto the grounds and that was nice. The girls at the bar were pleasant.

Too many dogs there. While I don't mind them, not roaming around a tiny bar area while i'm having a quiet drink.. Breakfast was rather overdone. They were very busy and the wait wasn't bad, but...

Overall hotel was very good, lovely location, room was very nice, breakfasts good

Only two minor niggles, 1) bath - room 101 - was very slippery and both of us slipped in it fortunately with no injury. Despeartely needs a bath mat; and 2) Breakfast staff told us to sit anywhere then moved us when we sat at a table which turned out not to be laid for breakfast. We saw this happen several times with other guests. Be easier if someone sat at their chosen location i.e. a nice view of the garden and if it wasn't laid for breakfast, to get the cups etc and lay it for them? Very minor niggles I know but so very close to a perfect stay........ Thanks
