Good breakfast Clean room.

Stayed for 2 nights at the hotel. The staff are helpful and considerate. Nice room; the furniture a little aged. Decent facilities - tea/coffee, fridge, tv, and bathroom. Good WiFi. Very good breakfast (included) in the morning, with lots of choices. Ate at the buffet and at the restaurant, both good. What disappointed, was there was NO internal pool (which I was looking forward to use), which had been advertised here. I looked at their own website, and yes it’s missing. Their external pool was being refurbished. So no swimming facilities available at all - that’s why I have marked down. I felt very disappointed and let down by false/erroneous advertising.

Been coming for past 30 years and has gone downhill; very slow service; pool closed even though July; staff not particularly friendly; broken shower; despite gorgeous location, will not be coming back

Room was spacious and had all the required amenities to get by. The breakfast to go was a great option gor me as I was checking out before breakfast was served at 7:30. Staff were hospitable and approachable. A/C in the room was also great. Beds were soft and large.

Very Nice location, hotel a bit tired but staff very friendly. Disappointed that both the indoor and outdoor pools were closed as was the main restaurant which was not noted on expedia ( main reasons for booking)

For value for money this is an excellent large hotel in a lovely mountain setting. The bedroom was very large with a comfortable Bed, good lighting etc. The Hitel in areas in need if some refurbishment but for overall value its a good choice.

Enjoyed it

Beautiful hotel, clean but needs modernising

The hotel is in a lovely place at home with nature The staff are very friendly and welcoming The food is very good The hotel is tired and is in need of a refit We still had a good stay

Forest Park Hotel is like a time capsule, taking you back decades! It is a living museum with all its interesting history on the walls. A brandy sour is a must. In desperate need of renovation but I hope its charm remains when it’s done. Thank you Forest Park & hope to see you again soon.

Although hotel rundown because closing soon all was good

The room was clean, the bathroom was clean but the sink taps was very dirty and the water coming out the tap was not with full force, just spitting

The hotel was comfortable for our needs. The breakfast was very good and the swimming pool was an added bonus.

Friendly staff welcomed me on arrival. I was given a good sized room which was very clean and comfortable. Used the restaurant twice with food being excellent on both occasions. Lovely location with great views. Parking a little chaotic but fine if you don’t mind parking a little away from the hotel.

I’ve been visiting this hotel since 2002, and it has always been known for its wonderful swimming pool — one of the main reasons many guests, including myself, choose to stay here. Unfortunately, during my recent 4-day visit, the pool was out of order for the entire stay. I later learned it had been broken for 3 days before my arrival, yet I was never informed beforehand. Had I known, I would have reconsidered my booking. The indoor pool, which I hoped could be an alternative, was in poor condition — the water was freezing, cleanliness was lacking, and the overall atmosphere was far from inviting. What made matters worse was the repeated assurances from staff that the main pool would be “fixed by this evening,” a promise given daily but never fulfilled. This left me feeling misled rather than cared for as a guest. It saddens me to see such a noticeable decline in a place I’ve enjoyed for over two decades. I truly hope management addresses these issues so the hotel can regain the charm and quality it once had.

Very good property.

It’s a very old hotel and the rooms weren’t updated the last 30+ years. We were told the hotel will be renovated next year. Breakfast was average. We were also told guests that booked via hotels.com get inferior rooms compared to guests that book directly with the hotel. They had to change our room after they put my wife and our two kids in a moldy room with pieces of plaster from the ceiling laying on my kids beds. They apologized and put us in a better room after I showed them pictures of the original room.

Great breakfast, friendly staff and the quickest reception checkin ever. Wifi worked great. Parking is plentiful but on the windy hill drive. We stayed on a Saturday and Sunday night and there seemed to be children screaming and shouting until gone 10pm on Saturday in the public areas. Not on sunday. Overall great hotel, bit dated but loved the style.

Stayed for one night. Room was large and comfortable but dated. Balcony was peaceful and private. An interesting history but clearly past it’s best. The outdoor pool wasn’t open which wasn’t great. The indoor pool didn’t look clean or cared for. Flies around and dirty. The food was fine. The staff in bar and dining room were excellent and a credit to the hotel. Sweeping of areas around the hotel would be good and maybe update the games room. Glad we stayed but won’t be visiting again.

We truly admire its history and nature's contact. However, it is a VERY old facility now a days and all facilities are not in ideal status. Inside pool is good but not heated, outside pool abandoned not working, tennis pitch abandoned, small gym, toys for babes old and broken, shower water pressure low. Dining area is cousy and breakfast is good and with good variety. Room space was very good with a nice small terrace for couple tea/coffee time. WiFi is good enouigh. Restaurant lunch is with great flavour, we tried a pasta with salmon and my kidds a pizza marinara. For a laid-back experience, it is a very comfortable space and great spot for mountain walk around.
