Nothing massively dreadful about our stay at Speech House, apart from the price. The courtyard family room was nothing spectacular: the door opened directly onto the road through the car park, the bathroom was tired (and oddly the washbasin was not actually in the bathroom), the water temperature ranged wildly from lukewarm to scalding, and there was no heating. It...

Dear ATP,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of your recent stay at the SPeech House.
I apologise that your accomodation fell below your expectation, however I have been unable to marry up your review date to your stay, and therefore how many people were in your party.
The room does indeed open out onto the...

Visited the Royal Forest of Dean recently and ate in the Orangery at the Speech House on several occasions as a non resident. Cannot fault the service, environment, value for money and quality of the experience. The tastefully decorated orangery and bar area is also dog friendly which is an added bonus.
Will stay in one of the courtyard rooms...

We have just returned from a 2 night stay with a group of friends. There were 16 in our party, plus 2 dogs, and the hotel accommodated us all in very comfortable rooms. We were very impressed by the friendly, helpful staff and the efficiency of the kitchen in providing wonderful dinners and breakfasts. The location was perfect since we...

My parter and I spent one night in this hotel as a quick weekend break away. We stayed in one of the refurbished rooms (number 2 I believe) which had the real wow-factor. A very large room and very large 4 poster bed. We were a little disapointed that the bathroom didn't seem to have had as much effort put...

The Speech House was our base for a weekend in the Forest of Dean and we couldn't have found a better spot. The hotel is charming, the rooms are very comfortable (although the bathroom was a little primitive: English plumbing), the food in the restaurant is excellent and the staff is VERY friendly and helpful. It's a very welcoming hotel...

We booked an Explorer package at The Speech House for the weekend: two nights accommodation, full breakfasts, 2 evening meals and a packed lunch. Food was brilliant - including the packed lunch. The room was very comfortable and quiet - even when a party was being held. Location was great too - within very easy reach of most of the...

We stayed in The Speech House two years ago and remember the wonderful food but small bedrooms. This time I knew what to ask for when phoning and although ideally would have liked to have been in a recently decorated main hotel bedroom went for a larger courtyard room with four poster bed. It meant we could park right outside...

We visit the forest several times a year as my mother is originally from Coleford. We have eaten many times in the Orangery, mainly because they are dog friendly and allow my Cocker Spaniel to join us for lunch. Our party of 6 adults and 2 dogs visited on Sunday 29th April, arriving @ 12ish, we settled down to coffee,...
