Forest of Dean Historic Hotel

"Staff were really friendly and helpful. Room was clean and cosy but a lot of mould on the inside window frame "

"My Easter stay at the Celtic Manor was faultless. The staff were helpful, courteous and efficient. A heartfelt thanks to the member of staff who helped me with my bags and gave me a lift to the upper carpark. I am elderly and this gesture was really appreciated. The room was clean and comfortable. I had a lovely swim in the pool and appreciated a stint in the sauna, which was thoroughly relaxing. The breakfast was brilliant, as always, including a cooked breakfast, choice of fruit, yoghourts, toast etc. I am a coeliac and this is catered for. Thank you, the Celtic Manor, for making mine and my family`s stay so enjoyable !"

"Lovely room in excellent condition and great spa facilities "

"The hotel and rooms are dated and tired, need refurbishing "

"Recently been to holiday inn found it good for my one night stay over there. Ample parking, good breakfast service. Overall enjoyed my stay. Thanks "

"Upon arrival just after 4pm, I was given Room 24 which was on the ground floor, directly adjacent to the dining area without soundproofing but an open doorway. Also in the adjacent rooms were numerous foreign (migrant?) families with children running up and down the short corridor, and plenty of door knocking and chatting loudly in the corridor. I complained to the reception staff (man instead of the young lady who checked me in), he apologised and moved me to another room on 2nd floor, plus gave a free drink voucher by way of apology, as it wasn’t the last room in the hotel. Odd it was given out in the first place. The second room has aircon that won’t switch off, unless you remove the room key so all electrics go out. I read this in other reviews so knew about it in advance of booking. In my second floor room, the sink was blocked and management must have known about it, as the sink plug (revolving disc) was missing. There was one in the ground floor room. The beds themselves are super comfortable, probably one of the best I’ve ever slept on, although some people may find them a little too high up off the ground. The surrounding area (over an Easter weekend) was a bit desolate. The road and surrounding land has much subsistence, with roadworks and single lane traffic lights which aren’t too much of an issue. There is a Subway but I never saw it open. There isn’t much else to look at, just a building site next to the hotel. I wouldn’t stay there again."

"Beautiful place!"

"Stayed at the Qeens previously. The room we had was good. Nice and clean but a noisy bar on opposite side of road so not great Thought breakfast was expensive at £20pp "

"The view from the room was terrible. It was a concrete square with tyres. The furniture was plasticky. For the price really wasn’t worth it on top of that our sleep was disrupted by people fighting and the police being called. I wish I booked the Holiday Inn."
