Forest Hotel

This review is split into two parts, one for the room and one for the restaurant. The restaurant was the good part of the experience, with friendly staff who were happy to accommodate a late request for a table & the food was excellent and well priced. My room (room 12) was not great. There is no lock from the inside, just an external handle which doesn't turn to prevent entry without a key. The layout is odd, with a little corridor to the bathroom which whilst clean is still very worn and dated. There is also a nest full of baby birds directly outside of the single-glazed window, which would be fine for a bird-lover or somebody hard of hearing, but not great otherwise.

Very slow service for 4 coffees in the bar after we had checked out. Wood work in ensuite bathroom rotten. Stair carpet upto our 2nd floor room needed a good refresh

I stayed in room 12 which is in the attic. Sounded like someone was trying to get in to the room from the attic all night. Possibly no harm to get someone in to look at the

Bedroom radiator not working. Room Fan heater not working also. Had to visit reception go ask for another heater.

Staff were fine. Restaurant food was good as was continental breakfast Our room was disappointing. Water damaged ceiling not repaired, carpet dreadful, needed decorating. Bathroom fittings OK but surrounds/tiling needed replacing
