Had a great one night stay here while working away. Staff friendly & welcoming throughout the stay. Had dinner in the orangery which was really nice food & drink.

Fantastic location. Restaurant pleasant and friendly staff especially the young lady that sat us to our table and took our order, The food I had was very nice although my hubby’s steak was not of good quality. The cosy courtyard room was quite small. A little tired but we wasn’t looking for posh. My big problem is having to pay £60 for 2 dogs 2 nights when they had very little floor space to be comfortable sleeping on there beds. There’s no special cleaning in this dog friendly room so why the high price for them to stay.

Unfortunately there was a wedding at the property, the dining area was very loud and overrun with wedding guests. We were put in a room right next to the venue and the music was blaring out till midnight - not great when you were up at 6am to travel to The Forest of Dean and then can’t sleep till after the wedding has finished. Very disappointing and now I am very tired for my drive home!!

Nice hotel, nice setting ( take an eye mask,light getting in room at night, that’s the trouble with curtain poles and curtains with eyelet holes)
Lovely breakfast very filling so much choice
4.0
Steeped in history.
Bang smack in the Forest of Dean & very doggy friendly.
The history needs to remain in the hotel bar & restaurant but the bedrooms & bathrooms certainly need to be updated.
Menu mediocre but sufficient for visiting but you wouldn’t book a table & go out of your way to eat there.
10.0
The attention to detail, both with the helpfulness of the staff and the restoration of such a classic historical building.
As the four poster bed was so high, there was even a stool provided to help you climb in.
The room felt of its period in every way, but the bathroom was fully up to date.
4.0
The Resturant food was very good indeed. We had a delightful evening meal with attractively priced wine. The ‘four poster’ room was large and well equipped. Just missing water and dressing gowns.

This trip was to see a part of the country we had never visited and to see how well our newly re-homed little dog adjusted to being away. We could not have chosen a more dog friendly hotel and everyone made us and Daisy so welcome. A particular mention to Chaz and Anna who really made our stay feel special. It's a lovely hotel in a beautiful part of the world and even the weather was kind. The food was amazing and nothing was too much trouble.
Thank you to everyone.

This was our second visit to The Speech House. The first was a few years ago as part of a large walking group. On this occasion we had been meeting friends for a lunch a few miles away and wanted a single night stopover. We enjoyed a snack evening meal in The Orangery and made good use of the reading room. It was a bit of a shock the next morning to wake up finding the grounds covered in snow but that gave a magical appearance to the property and the surrounding area. A thoroughly enjoyable stay, albeit very brief.

Always the best place to stay in the Forest
5.0
Speech House used to be my local restaurant and these days I stay when visiting family who still live in the forest. Service is always friendly and of a traditional style with the Orangery being a favourite of my dog. Food always of good quality and they do not skimp on service or quantity. Great to see some new local staff and especially impressed with both Annie and Jayne who both excelled in their respective roles.

Been passing this place over a number of years since 1974, and just finished an overnight stay.
Long overdue and defo coming back again.
