When I arrived there wasn’t a member of staff at reception. I had to wait around 5 minutes before someone arrived. I was given the “penthouse suite” (room 12). Straight away when I opened the door an awful odour lingered around the room. The cleaners had obviously noticed the same thing and opened all the windows and turned the desk fan on prior to my arrival. The room itself could do with re-decorating, as there were chips of paint out of the doors, the cream carpets within the room were absolutely disgusting and could do with either a deep clean or ripping up completely. The bathroom had a very dated bath and showering wasn’t an option as they only had the head and no where you could hang up. I didn’t eat within the hotel as everything I’d experienced put me off. On a brighter note parking wasn’t an issue. But I would never stay here again.

Friendly staff

Warm, friendly hotel with a great atmosphere. Our room was fabulous and breakfast was great.

Great Staff, Interesting old building. Great location

comfortable room, slightly aged room with cracking paint, but well set out and comfy with nice finishes with cushions etc. Breakfast was a set continental - No choices, which let it down.

Excellent, friendly staff, nice room, convenient location.

Nice stay. Good service from reception. Quality bar and restaurant.

Complained about fan noise and heat of the room

This is a tired hotel which, on the day I visited (which was hot and therefore needed the windows open) was noisy from the bar and had no car parking (because the bar was busy). The bathroom only had a hand held shower and bathroom was also tired. Breakfast was continental only up to 9am and only available from 7:30am (not great if you are working).

Next to dorridge station. Nice and neat room. Good

We arrived late on Sunday so went to the bar at 9.20pm and bought a bottle of wine only to be told that tge bar was shutting at 9.30pm and we could take the bottle to our room !!! The continental breakfast was very poor and no marmalade in the hotel for toast at breakfast.

Booked for our customers and was highly praised by them.

Really impressed KITCHEN AMAZING & Bar really good - Staff SUPER GOOD - Victor 🇨🇳 & Abby 🇦🇺 SUPER STARS !!!

Friendly staff. Nice restaurant. Authentic local atmosphere.

Cooked breakfast only available after 9am ..no use to many business travellers..Parking is a nightmare as around teatime the carpark is filled with people using the pub and very little parking around the st ..had to repark at 10pm

Very pleasant and comfortable room

The staff were very accommodating. A bit noisy for us but we go to bed early and bar still functioning

Great stay immediately across from train station. Noise not a bother. Well appointed room. Great pub attached. Terrific front desk and wait staff.

We had no hot water in our shower, also pipes making loud noises all night so didn’t get much sleep, and it was filthy in our room, the toilet hadn’t been touched from the previous occupants, and the towels smelled musty and damp, we were really disappointed considering the cost of the hotel, we could of stayed in a premier in for a little less, but guaranteed a better shower and room

Absolutely amazing and fantastic from the moment we arrived until the moment we left. Having spent the day at the Game Fair we were all totally shattered, and sadly (our own fault) reception advised they hadn’t got any dinner tables left. However a while later they managed to squeeze us in abd nothing was too much trouble The food was superb, the atmosphere wonderful, and the room’s fantastic Will deffo be staying here again! Thenkyou to everyone for a fantastic stay at the Forest Hotel
