    great location
    friendly staff
    beautiful grounds
    high drink prices
    hard shower access

    the hotel was amazin, surrounded by beautiful grounds and super close to everything we wanted to explore. we saw deer while havin breakfast, which was such a cool touch! the staff were really nice, always checkin in on us and makin sure we were comfy. our room was decorated with nice lil touches like luxury toiletries and we loved the homemade cake of the day! totally the best hotel we've ever been to and we definitely wanna come back!

    but the shower had a bath which was weird and kinda hard to get in and out of. The drink prices at the bar were pretty high.

    beautiful garden
    cozy lounge
    great breakfast
    refreshing bathroom

    We had a lovely stay, enjoying breakfast in the garden and watching deer stroll by, which really enhanced our experience. There are fantastic spots to unwind, like the beautiful garden area and the cozy lounge by the fire. The bathroom could use a bit of a refresh, but it didn't take away from the nice vibe overall. 😊

    excellent location
    friendly staff
    outdated amenities
    basic breakfast
    small portion sizes

    The location is ideal, with easy access to local attractions, and the beautiful surroundings add charm to the experience. Friendly and attentive staff enhance the stay, making you feel welcomed with thoughtful touches like daily cake and luxury toiletries. the amenities in the room felt outdated, with a bathroom lacking a bath and a less-than-stunning decor. The breakfast was basic, leaving much to be desired in terms of portion size, particularly for hot items.

    exceptional food
    cozy room

    Perfect for a romantic escape

    The food was truly exceptional, especially the 10 course tasting menu. Our room was cozy, comfortable, well appointed, with a bathroom that felt like a luxury spa.

    It wasn't inexpensive, but worth every penny.

    stunning location
    friendly staff
    basic amenities
    standard furnishings
    location noise

    The location is stunning, with beautiful grounds where we spotted deer during breakfast. Daily treats like freshly baked croissants and cake enhanced our experience. While the rooms were well-kept, the amenities felt somewhat basic for those expecting higher luxury. Nonetheless, the friendly staff made our visit enjoyable and memorable.

    friendly staff
    cozy atmosphere
    delicious breakfast
    early check-out
    limited hours

    I just spent two nights at Forest Side and loved it. The building oozes charm. coal fireplaces keep the atmosphere cozy. The staff were friendly and genuinely attentive. My room overlooked beautiful forest views, and I even spotted deer in the morning. Breakfast was included and fantastic. the full English hit the spot! Some minor issues though. Check-out time is too early at 9:30 am. It would be nice to have it at 11 am. Breakfast served from 8:30 to 9:30 am also left little room for a leisurely start. These tweaks would make the experience perfect.

    cocktail terrace
    eight-course dinner

    We had a fantastic time enjoying a cocktail on the terrace. The stunning eight-course dinner was a masterpiece. The overall ambiance and dog's friendly setup were a good surprise.

    Felt welcome, no reason to complain.
