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.
