We stayed at Forest Hall for two nights. We were looking for a comfortable, relaxed oasis in which to rest up at the end of our trip to South Africa before our long journery home. We were delighted to find everything we needed at Forest Hall. The rooms are large, welcoming, warm and tastfully decorated. Our room looked out onto... More

Every time we need to visit PE we stay at Forest Hall and every time we come away feeling totally relaxed, rejuvenated and spoilt! The rooms are large, roomy, bright and spotlessly clean. We particularly love the well established gardens with enormous trees filled with a huge variety of birds, waking up in the mornings to the sound of birds... More

Excellent guest house located a short drive into PE centre and the waterfront. Warm welcome from James who was very helpful in suggesting restaurants etc for our short stop over. Room was large and clean furnished sympathetically to the history of the property. Small kitchenette and large bathroom. Room opened out onto the gardens and a short walk down the... More

The Forest Hill Guest House is a lovely, quite house, set in excellent grounds within a residential housing estate. It does not feel like you are in a residential area because the well kept garden is large, even in proportion to the large house. The room we had was in a row of buildings, which looks out over the garden... More

The owner /manager James has certainly put his mark of excellence on this property. He treated us like kings- nothing was too much trouble- he even lent me a laptop to sort out my i-phone problems. The breakfast is to die for. The furnishings modern and comfortable. Our room was comfortable and spotless. This area of Walmer is an elite... More

Forest Hall is a gracious old family home set in a beautifully treed garden. All the rooms that we have stayed in are tastefully decorated, have everything a traveller needs, with private entrances leading to the large grounds and pool. The bathrooms are extremely well appointed with lovely showers and superb baths. James and Hilary are wonderful, welcoming hosts and... More

James was very welcoming and helpful, suggesting places to eat and orientating us with maps. We loved the accommodation - it was... More
