Forest of Arden Hotel and Country Club

The staff are incredibly friendly, and the surrounding environment is absolutely beautiful. It’s a wonderful place both to attend the conference and to relax.

Overall the hotel is good and well maintained. I would say it's a little dated in areas but the staff were friendly and pleasant. My main gripe is that I arrived 1.5 hours ahead of check in time and they wanted £10 per hour extra to get into my room early. I wasn't expecting to get in early but if the room is ready then I would expect to be able to get in anhour ahead of time without being charged.

Our stay was very relaxing, luckily the weather helped with this. I would recommend booking the superior room for the stay very spacious and clean. Bathroom was a bit outdated, but didn’t bother us. Staff are very friendly, welcoming and accommodating which were more important. Had known you can take golf lessons, I would have booked this to explore this further, as they have a golf shop on site.

Superb hotel...cosy and well-run. Excellent spa facilities with an indoor, heated swimming pool, sauna, jacuzzi and steam room - kids are allowed. Good food but could have done with a wider menu choice for prepaid half-board customers (only 3 mains to choose from whereas a-la-carte had much more choice). Helpings were also just a little on the smaller side. Plus noise levels can get quite high at dinner times from 'loud' guests (with little noise control by the staff). Excellent customer service otherwise - they even came and knocked on my door when i didn't initially answer my wake-up call! Lovely scenery outside plus a popular golf course. Recommended if you are visiting the area.

Lovely venue and very helpful staff
