The lady that welcomed me was lovely. The room was very colourful, comfortable and fit for purpose.

Elizabeth United Kingdom

It is ideally located a stones throw away from the centre , with nearby bus facility

David United Kingdom

My second time there, Louise gave me a very warm welcome. She went out of her way to be sure I had everything I needed. And was so helpful when asked if I could put y milk in her fridge and my freeze block in her freezer for my trip back home( sandwiches) beautiful place. And such helpful happy staff. I really didn’t want to come home. Mags was lovely. Overall a very enjoyable stay. Highly recommend and will e back again🥰❤️

Lorraine United Kingdom

Great location, great price, nice staff, beautiful room, clean

C Canada

Lovely welcome from the owner. Room was quaint and cosy. Bed was very comfortable, pretty decor and very clean. Would have loved to try the breakfast, hopefully, in better times..The hub,a short walk away, serves great food, very tasty and reasonably priced. Look forward to visiting the Forest and Flower again, in the future. 😊

Susan United Kingdom

Both ladies were absolutely lovely, very warm and welcoming! The bar downstairs was very quirky with lots of things to look at. The room was comfortable, with lots of drink options to chose from ie tea, coffee and hot chocolate. The room decor was slightly dated, which we didn't mind as it was super comfortable and cosy. The bed was superb and was an amazing night's sleep.

Lacey United Kingdom

It was warm, comfortable and clean. It was also quite quiet and the host was so helpful, warm and inviting. It was very close to the city centre: we used the bus to get to and fro as a short journey and quite reasonably priced.

Bianca United Kingdom

Very welcoming host, friendly and helpful. Room was comfortable with little quirky touches. Good value.

Claire United Kingdom

Lovely village location bus right outside the door two more pubs within 20-minutes walk excellent food

Julie-ann United Kingdom

I love the rooms at The Forester and Flower. The decor is unique and so pleasing. There is every comfort you could need and it is very informal, friendly and straight forward. I was grateful for the information about where to get breakfast and transport services.
