Good location with large clean rooms, beds were comfortable. Perhaps more in the way of teas/coffees etc wouldn’t go amiss.

Forest of Arden Hotel & Country Club
Overall a good stay with an amazing breakfast. Let down a little by only being given 2 towels for a 4 person room (reception did fix this straight away) and the WiFi being significantly slower than the 25mbps advertised which was one of the reasons why we chose that hotel
