Forest House was until recently a popular 4* hotel and restaurant. The property has been superbly converted into self-catering accommodation perfect for large groups of holidaymakers, whether it be a family gathering for a special occasion, a group of outdoor-loving friends, a celebratory send off to married life for the all-important hen, or simply those of you who want to kick back and relax away from the rigours of your every day life. The owners really have catered for everyone!
The property has 11 bedrooms in total and can sleep up to 24 guests comfortably. 10 of the bedrooms have their own en suite, whilst on the ground floor of the property there is a suite comprising two bedrooms which are connected and share an en suite/disabled toilet. There is a small lounge and bar area, a separate games lounge, and a stunning dining room which can comfortably seat all of your guests. With the original chef's kitchen still in situ there is nothing more you could possibly need to cater for everyone during your stay, well except maybe the chef themselves! Outside is a beautifully maintained garden and patio area with seating and heaters, a BBQ, and a hot tub. Just perfect for relaxing in after a long day spent exploring the local area.
Forest House is in an ideal location for groups of keen walkers, cyclists, golfers, or just general lovers of the great outdoors to take in the stunning scenery and local attractions. You really could not find a more perfect property from which to explore the beautiful Forest of Dean and Wye Valley. Bookings for family gatherings, hen parties and special celebrations welcome.
