We have just returned from a 2 night stay with a group of friends. There were 16 in our party, plus 2 dogs, and the hotel accommodated us all in very comfortable rooms.

My parter and I spent one night in this hotel as a quick weekend break away. We stayed in one of the refurbished rooms (number 2 I believe) which had the real wow-factor. A very large room and very large 4 poster bed. We were a little disapointed that the bathroom didn't seem to have had as much effort put...

The Speech House was our base for a weekend in the Forest of Dean and we couldn't have found a better spot. The hotel is charming, the rooms are very comfortable (although the bathroom was a little primitive: English plumbing), the food in the restaurant is excellent and the staff is VERY friendly and helpful. It's a very welcoming hotel...

We stayed in The Speech House two years ago and remember the wonderful food but small bedrooms. This time I knew what to ask for when phoning and although ideally would have liked to have been in a recently decorated main hotel bedroom went for a larger courtyard room with four poster bed. It meant we could park right outside...

We visit the forest several times a year as my mother is originally from Coleford. We have eaten many times in the Orangery, mainly because they are dog friendly and allow my Cocker Spaniel to join us for lunch. Our party of 6 adults and 2 dogs visited on Sunday 29th April, arriving @ 12ish, we settled down to coffee,...
