My wife and I stayed at this hotel 10-13th June, and it was a delight, the location was out of this world. The food, was excellent, and it arrived at your table hot. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. The hotel had its own car park, and the host and hostess (Jon & Gill) and staff (Sandra) went that... More

Impressed by previous reviews, we were disappointed. Yes it's a quite location with great views. But the place was very dated, and desperately needs to be brought out of the 1970s. Breakfast was very basic. The 1970s theme continued with a basic cereal offering and then a very yellow 'smoked' haddock which look straight out of a vac pack -... More

Thank you , for your very informative review. We do try our best to give Forest View a feeling of the seventies, and have spent a lot of time and money to achieve this feeling. Most of all our clientele appreciate this period, and the service that goes with it. We are not a modern plastic palace where customers are... More

Lovely situation, good food (evening meal and breakfasts). Very much enjoyed stay. I was in the Flat, the only disappointment was there is no window in the sitting room of that unit. Otherwise the break was perfect. Very friendly proprietors and staff. Good stuff to do in Symonds Yat, whether just walking or hiring canoe or going on river cruise.... More

We chose room 5 for the views and weren't disappointed! Could have stayed in and sat at the window all day! Lovely comfortable bed. Nice fluffy white towels. Great service. Friendly staff. Good veggie breakfast - best veggie sausages I've ever had! Not to detract from the many positive aspects, a couple of small changes would enhance the room -... More

Guest house is ideally placed at end of road (Symonds Yat can be very busy!) Made to feel very welcome and room was very comfortable overlooking the River Wye. Slept very well as it is very peaceful and quiet. Lovely breakfast nicely cooked and hot. Attentive staff also. Would stay again.

Our first visit will not be the last. In a stunning location, this immaculately kept hotel was a perfect venue for me as a canoeist and Lynne as a girl who wanted to relax and read. Gill and Jon were friendly and efficient and Gill particularly bent over backwards to ensure we enjoyed our stay. Breakfast time was carefully organised... More

We booked Forest View guesthouse through late rooms and it definitely provided us with a much needed relaxing weekend break. No hassle with parking as there is plenty of room outside the guesthouse and we were booked in an hour earlier than expected which was great as my husband and I wanted to set out on a walk as the...

We returned to this guest house, having previously visited under different ownership. We never usually return to the same place but we loved this so much we came back.
