The Forest Hotel

Granted, the whole experience from beginning to end could not have been any better. A big Thankyou to Katie for making our day all we could have dreamed. The finest of details were taken care of. The food was exceptional and the service impeccable. We are over the moon we chose to get married at the hotel and would highly recommend every aspect. Thankyou again all, Mr & Mrs Wills xx

I don’t usually write reviews but I just can’t recommend The Forest highly enough! From my initial enquiry to the day itself all of the staff made the whole experience amazing! I literally had the best day of my life and that was completely down to the staff being so on the ball with everything! Katie our event manager took all the stress away, and she was always super helpful, nothing was too much trouble, the day was perfectly planned. I was worried about lots of little things but I was allowed to come to the venue on several occasions to check things, I was given ideas and solutions too! Thank you to everyone at the forest for making my special day perfect! All of our guests commented on how lovely the food was too! A special thank you to Andy the General Manager for ensuring everything was taken care of, and for Katie for adding the extra special finishing touches!

You're in safe hands at the Forest, Katie gives you a sense that your important day is important to her and her team too. The venue is small but perfectly formed and having a bar in the main room is something a lot of bigger and more expensive venues lacked. We have attended weddings where far to often guests are lost in different rooms getting drinks etc but the Forest is well thought-out and the biggest challenge was getting people to leave! The staff worked tirelessly and were non stop, we had the extended license but the staff we're still attentive and looked like they were enjoying themselves despite working at 1am. The Forest has 12 rooms, it does limit who you can have stay at the venue but there's lots of alternative hotels within a 1-2 mile radius and i was quite glad that approx 80-100 family and friends were staying else where. The food was beautiful, the drinks never stopped and Katie will always look to go the extra mile for you. We had nothing but wonderful comments about our venue of choice and would recommend it to anyone.

Thank you very much for your care and attention that you and the forest team gave to our wedding celebrations – it was perfect

We got married at The Forest on 23rd Dec and we could not praise the venue and staff highly enough! Despite it being an extremely busy time for the hotel, they could not do enough for us. Katie, in particular, was superb. She was always on the end of the phone to answer any queries or reassure me of any worries. She helped me to plan the wedding and on the actual day she was a real diamond, making sure that everything went smoothly. Thankyou Katie for all of your hard work! Sian and Andy were also brilliant, helping out with last minute things the evening before and on the morning. Sian even ran down the road to catch my veil as it nearly blew away - Nothing is too much for all of the staff at the hotel! All of our guests had a wonderful time, we had so many comments about the food and how lovely it was. All in all, an amazing venue with amazing staff! We would definitely book again for other events.

We had an amazing day and we would like to thank the whole team for ensuring our wishes were followed and the day ran smoothly. The room itself was magical and the set up throughout the day was amazing. All three looks (ceremony, meal, evening party) were absolutely stunning and the room was just right for our guests and our decorations. Your placement of the cake table and flowers for the evening were spot on; thank you for your attention to detail. We are really pleased we got the dance floor and love letters. The turnaround for the rooms and drinks set up was on point. The staff were very helpful and friendly and our guests commented on how attentive you are were. Everyone loved the food.

Our daughter got married here when she and her partner told us they were getting married in a hotel I wasn't best pleased, only because I stay in many hotels and most are very corporate. However this hotel is something else the staff are the best ! Only 12 rooms that give it a very personal touch very in formal fantastic location, the food & facilities are second to none in all it made a very memorable day . Thank you so much to all at the Forest hotel for making our day so so special.

We had an amazing time, it was absolutely perfect and we couldn’t fault anything. Thank you so much for all of your hard work, we are so grateful. You and your team did a fantastic job and our guests had the best time. Thanks for always being at the end of an email for our endless queries!

My daughter got married at this hotel, from the moment we arrived everything was taken care of, and all the staff were excellent, food was superb, and Katie the wedding planner was terrific. So if you are after a venue for a wedding we're you can relax and have a stress free day whilst everything is done for you, this is the place to be.

We booked the Forest for our wedding. Due to various circumstances we had to change the date three times. This was never a problem. It was a small wedding with 16 guests who also stayed the night. The room was just the right size and decorated beautifully for the wedding, the evening meal and even breakfast the next morning. The staff were wonderfully attentive and helpful even though it was busy. The bedrooms are lovely, individually designed and clean. More than that they were ready from 11am to make life so easy for guests arriving from all over the country. The food was also of a very high standard. They made our special day very special - THANK YOU
