Nice staff, excellent Sunday lunch that I couldn't eat because the plate was stacked. Warm and comfy bed, couldn't fill kettle in the small sink. Shower was feeble. I didn't pay for the ritz, it was great for what I wanted.

We liked our room which was spacious and comfortable. Staff were very helpful. There was a little noise on Friday evening, but then you would expect that at a pub.

Poor, do not stay here.

The rooms are very squashed, and it's right above a noisy pub. Not great for a good night's sleep.

Poor.

Very noisy until 1am, room over the bar and beer garden. Sounded like a dish washer came on at 5am. Smell of cooking from the kitchen. Bathroom so small when you bent to wash your face you had to have the door open.

Cosy little room above village pub

The Foresters Arms is a cosy little room above village pub. Room has everything you need including a mini fridge for fresh milk. Traditional pub food served by friendly staff. Worth noting that they stop serving food in the evening at 7:30 prompt, but the host will knock something up for residents. That being said there are plenty of other eateries within walking distance.

Staff were polite and welcoming, The room was very small with toilet in one corner and shower in another the shaving light did not work and could not be repaired as it was out of date. No breakfast or evening food available despite it being adverisised on their website. The whole ptemises could do with a renivation.

Upon arrival i was shown to my room by the barman, i asked him when they stopped serving food and he said he wasnt sure. I told him i would ne down about 7pm. I got down to the bar at 7.15pm, ordered a pint, looked at the menu and asked to order food, only to be told the Chef had gone home. The Barman knew i was coming down but apparently said nothing to the Chef, ended up going to the indians next door which wouldn't have been my first port of call. I wont be returning.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The whole experience was appalling. I arrived to drunks in the bar and unable to check in as it was so busy. The rooms was broken down and dirty. There was a smell all night from the fat fryer in the kitchen. There were screaming kids down the corridors until late at night. There was loud music under the room until late. There were drunks that could be heard under the room. The toilet was broken. The bathroom unit had a door hanging off. The television was pixilating all night so did not work properly. The kettle was filthy. The curtains were filthy. I was charged £75 for an absolute slum. That was for a single!!!!!!! Absolutely disgusting.
