Overall Ratings & Reviews Forest of Arden Hotel & Country Club

Overall for us a pretty good hotel and location. The bed was very comfortable. Room was cosy. Close to NEC (only a short drive away). Staff friendly. Price for room was good. The breakfast didn’t have many gluten free options on display. The quality of the bacon and sausages was poor. I could not see decaf coffee, regular coffee wasn’t very nice. Unfortunately drunk guests kept us awake on our final night, as we could hear them through the door and wall, though this could happen at any hotel.

Stayed for 1 night for business. A nice hotel in a great countryside setting and yet just 10 minutes from Coleshill estate. Great breakfast I woukd stay again.

The double bed was really comfy. There was only one bedside table therefore I had to use the desk chair at my side of the bed to put my things on. There was no welcome brochure with information about the hotel, restaurants, swimming pool etc.

Enjoyed our stay but room was joined to another room which was noisey through the night

It's a great place to stay, and nice and affordable. The pool area is a little tired and could do with a renovation to match some of the other areas of the hotel. The room was fine for us, if a little tired. The shower in the bathroom isn't great, but serviceable. Hopefully the can fit A/C at some point as I wouldn't want to stay in the room during the summer, although having a plug-in fan was appreciated, as well as having an iron and ironing board in the room.

Pleasant place to stay just 15 minutes from the NEC. We stayed in a deluxe room, no air con, windows only opened a small amount. The room was a little run down and the lamp shade in ours was grubby, small bit of mould in the bathroom. Shower was fixed to wall and not very powerful. The restaurant food and service was very good. Breakfast was included and there was a very good selection. Included was use of the pool, jacuzzi, sauna and steam room who provide towels.

Wonderful stay

Clean and welcoming spa facilities good standard. Would benefit from investment in food choices and facelift

Good location to go to NEC, about 10min drive. Nice pool but not big, asked to book slot to avoid being too busy. Large car park. Good size room, ok shower, large comfy bed. Room quite warm, no a/c but fan in room, windows only open small amount for safety. Good breakfast. Had set menu buffet meal in restaurant which was ok but not fancy.

Lovely

No as good as when this was owned by Marriott but clean enough and most of the breakfast was OK. Fried eggs rock hard, croissants and pastries were tiny, hard and tasted mass produced and probably 'shop bought' for Poundland. Jam was cheap and cheerful. Both toasters were useless. Room clean but misty windows due to double glazing having failed. Staff, as alwats were smashing.

Nice stay. Love the breakfast, swimming pool and hot tub. But there is no air conditioning in room. Not recommended for summer time.

Very good stay

Rooms were good staff were friendly and efficient, food was very good, the pool and gym rooms were clean and tidy so altogether made for a great stay

A wonderful venue with excellent staff, who go out of their way to accommodate you. Gave 4 stars as the rooms furniture could do with some updating and/or deep cleaning. eg.the chair in my room had a number of stains on it, as did the carpet. It had been hoovered but stains are a put off.

So convenient, clean, friendly and all so beautiful & varied activities.

Hotel grounds very nice a huge about of pot holes on the roads around and inside the hotel grounds definitely needs resurfacing

Probably the worst place I’ve stay at

Staff were fantastic, a very clean and tidy hotel

Nice hotel although showing signs of lack of investment and starting to age! Basic breakfast offering (awful long life coffee) unless you pay premium for other breakfasts
