Lovely location, lovely old historical...

Liked: The location was excellent for exploring the local area.The room was comfortable and clean.
Disliked: The service at the bar was a little slow, but not to the extent that I’d complain. And the cost of drinks seemed to vary depending on who was serving you.

Location for MTB

Liked: Location to the Forest of Dean Cycle Centre via an off road track.
Disliked: Have to make a temporary blind for the bathroom using a piece of string and a hand towel, very noisy extractor fan, very cosy room with everything crammed in. Wasn't the same as the photos
