To arrive for early check in and the receptionist didn’t know we’d booked early check in despite ringing days before. Paid and still our room wasn’t ready in time. In the reception there was a Labrador lovely, but spitting up food all on the floor and wasn’t cleared up at all. Food wasn’t great, greasy cold breakfast. Not a place I would return to for the price.

Disappointing

Unwelcoming front desk, depressing bedroom - my daughter had a single bed in a windowless room - quite unlike photos on the website, claustrophobic bathroom, unpleasant smell to the room's entrance. Hope to never go back.

Nightmare

Constantly awoken in the middle of the night by the owner and staff members shouting and arguing outside room. Apparently staff member had thrown cutlery in the bin and there was a huge argument with shouting. Next night around midnight owner was at it again, this time calling his dog in. After this more raised voices between staff!

You can do better than this

Do not stay in the annex. It has a damp and musty smell - most unpleasant. It is an old building but this is unacceptable. They told me that no one has mentioned it before but I see (belatedly) it has been mentioned in other reviews. After complaining twice, they did move me for the second night to a better room and only partially refunded me for the third night when they could not accommodate me in a different room. Save yourself the grief and stay at Dukeries.

The redeeming factor of this old property is the Staff. They quite simply work their sock of to make your stay bearable, problem is the place is stuck in a time warp and needs drastic remedial action. The photos on site look marvellous, but in reality the place is run down. Food is of a very reasonable quality and the drinks selection are very good, but I like comfort not quirky.

We really enjoyed staying at forest lodge. We were made to feel very welcome and relaxed in the bar area. Staff were welcoming and kind and friendly. A lady gave us a free bottle of Prosecco to help us celebrate our anniversary. Sitting in the bar having a meal and a drink was one of my highlights on our break. Some of the hotels main procedures cause them a bit of difficulty. For instance asking everyone for photo ID at check in- if this needs to be done it could be done at booking. Also taking £50 on hold from every guest as this often isn’t returned very quickly and I heard many guests complaining about this amongst themselves. I still haven’t received my refund either. Parts of Forest lodge need redecoration, maintenance and love. The indoor areas are not just old but tarnished and in need of redecoration. The biggest problem we encountered was the awful smell as you walk through the lodge and into the annex- the annex smells appallingly of mould. I don’t think that can be healthy. It’s up to an intolerable level. Our room- room number 6- was in the annex and it was quite hard to tolerate that stench. As we walked through on the day of departure and saw all the rooms being cleaned room 6 is probably one of the smallest and less comfy rooms also. It isn’t cheap to stay at forest lodge so their prices need to respect the experience the guest receives. We did enjoy our stay (mention to the lovely dog!) and we would come back, but there is no way we would stay in the annex.

Lovely welcome on arrival the staff were always to hand and looked after all our needs. Tasty breakfast well cooked and plentiful. Comfortable bed and despite being in a room facing the road we weren't disturbed and had an excellent nights sleep. Comfy bar and tasty bar meals.

This is really awful. It had musty smelling carpeting which they tried to cover up with terrible strong cleaners. (Think swimming pool chlorine plus moldy rag.) The combination was sickening so I couldn't stay but they wouldn't give even a partial refund. Lesson learned. Patrons beware this is the ultimate tourist trap. I would've rather slept in Sherwood Forest! Sherwood Forest is definitely worth the trip but avoid staying here.
