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.

Smell
My room 30 smelt badly of dogs it was also so hot, so i opened the window, noisy air pump outside window, didnt sleep well, room smelt bad all the time, there was mould in the shower, lets not mention the Wifi in the room as a business person i couldn’t communicate online at all, it was also odd to see one man at dinner feeding his dog at the table from his cutlery odd at best, over a bad night sleep, pick another room i had a better time in 36, food was ok.

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.
