Everything was excellent
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.

Traditional friendly hotel & restaurant
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.

Wonderful food.
Given a nice room on the top floor, but impossible stairs and no lift. Moved us to a ground floor suite across the car park, which was very good. All the food was excellent, with even simple dishes nicely presented.

I was disappointed that for £88, the room size was very small. It was also a shock to discover that breakfast was NOT included in this price so that made it even less value for money. The stud walls separating the rooms need some more insulation as we could hear snoring from the next room. Having said that breakfast was good, there was plenty of hot water for showers and one could walk around outside quite easily to see the Cyril Hart arboretum.

Typical 2 - 3 star UK hotel building, cheaply renovated, maintained to a basic standard, everywhere feels like things could be better, brighter, cleaner, as expected. Unlike most UK hotels, most staff were quite friendly, very helpful-tried hard to help-provide good service. Mostly an average menu in content/variety in open seating restaurant, never used fine dining. Often specials board empty. Food served was very good. Well cooked, presented, good quantities, always hot. Although menu was limited our family ate at the hotel for 3 days. Bit fed up with limited variety by day 3 but any other restaurants appear to be a drive away. Some family members had requests, assistance given cheerfully-politely by both waiting staff and chef. No complaints about the food, very good, the breakfast probably one of the best I ever came across in a mainland UK hotel. The bar was well stocked-kept going night & day. Nice gardens outside, of course the Forest of Dean outside the door. Location excellent. Seems to be about 40 rooms. About 17 main building rest in car park at rear of hotel. Seemed all family rooms with double bed-two singles were outside. One room had some sort of canopy above the bed, this was very dusty and dropped dust on bed regularly. A bit of the “UK - can’t be bothered” not far away as is usual. Parking not allocated to rooms, any event stopped guests parking, that’s just pitiful. But compared to other UK hotels,very good, I would recommend & definitely stay again.
