The Wyndham Arms Hotel  

We are a 'mature' couple whose chief concern when looking for accommodation is whether it is "pet friendly". We hardly go anywhere without our beloved dog, Buddy. We met up with family members who also took their dog. Well, when they say they are "pet friendly" the Wyndham Arms is not just saying it, they really mean it. Our pets were welcome in any part of the hotel apart from the restaurant, which is totally acceptable. We ate our meals in the bar and the dogs were always welcome, even given a plate of sausages for breakfast from Charlie the manager who went above and beyond to make us all feel very welcome. The food is excellent, not your usual run of the mill pub fayre, but imaginative, good wholesome food made with locally sourced produce. We stayed in the annex. It was clean, comfortable and was everything we required for a few days away. There is plenty to do and see in the Forest of Dean and we will definitely be returning this year.

I hate to complain because we had such a great time but if I were to find one thing it would be the blankets. I would prefer to see a duvet.

I liked the fact that I could stay with my extended family for a wedding. Generally very friendly staff, easy check in and check out. Good breakfast.

My daughter complained that her room was cold. My husband found his mattress uncomfortable. The gentelman who did our check seemed alittle terse, but may be just tired.

Excellent location for purpose of our visit to wedding at Clearwell Castle. Charming hotel

Annex rooms in which we stayed could have been a little more comfortable (Bed) and bathrooms updating. Towels in short supply, one bath towel is all we had for 2 adults showering and washing

It was very convenient for the wedding we attended at the castle just up the road. Although we didn't eat there in the evening we found the breakfast very good. The rooms were very quiet, just right for a very relaxing stay. May consider this venue again when we just want to get away for a few days from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

They let us sign in earlier so that we could get ready for a wedding

quiet and good value for money

Staff were good accommodation poor, breakfast poor

Nice location

The attitude of the Manager and staff was outstandingly good. The hotel was friendly and the breakfast was probably the best I have ever eaten in a hotel. Altogether it was a good experience.

The location to Clearwell castle where we were attending a evening wedding reception, very convenient.Excellent breakfast good quality food,comfortable room in a pretty village.

There was nowhere to have food in the village during the afternoon. We were advised to go into Coleford but the choice of places to eat there were poor.We ended up going to Symonds Yat east which was a fair distance from the hotel.Just felt that there could have been something within walking distance or indeed at the hotel/pub itself.

Our overnight stay en route to Dorset was very relaxed - the hotel is located is a small and picturesque village. Service and food were excellent. The bar/hotel manager was extremely friendly.
