The soundtrack for the afternoon was likewise; I think I expected some form of ambient trance and, this is not a joke, "Down in New Orleans" from Disney's "Princess and the Frog" played during our appetizer course (we thought this was hilarious and awesome). With regard to drinks, the seasonal Sorrel Daiquiri was my friend's favorite and the wine selection was very interesting with lots of English and Welsh options. I ordered off of the vegetarian menu and I didn't miss meat for a heartbeat--and, as a bonus, they grow, harvest, and serve a number of vegetables from their own property. It can feel like a financial investment, and it's certainly out of the way, but well worth it.

A very warm welcome awaited us, and we were shown to our room where freshly-baked warm Welshcakes awaited us. I took a leisurely bath and got ready for our tasting menu dinner. The food was phenomenal - having eaten shortly beforehand at Tom Kitchin's in Edinburgh, aspects of this meal were even better. The canapes, the cocktails, the bread, the nice touch of the nettle macaron to send you off to bed - all amazing. The service was really exceptional, really fantastic. They were also happy to accommodate my dietary requirements and substitute dishes, which was great. The only downside to dinner was that the chef patron walked out of the kitchen and straight past us (and then back to kitchen) without greeting any of the diners - seemed a bit odd when he wasn't really that busy and there were only 4 of us. It didn't mar our enjoyment of the meal, but would have been an "icing on the cake" touch. The chap who was in charge of service was really brilliant - his recommendations were spot-on. The dining room is very small, only one other couple were dining at the same time of us - the atmosphere was a little weird as they appeared to have fallen out before dinner! But we had a great time, despite my partner having a terrible cold. We had a great night's sleep in the comfortable bed, and then breakfast next morning was another culinary triumph. I can't wait to go back soon!

In the heart of the Forest of Dean, Speech House Hotel is a delightful and welcoming 17th century…read morehunting lodge. We were here on this occasion for a celebratory meal in the Verderers Court Restaurant. We remembered the place having stayed in the hotel a couple of years prior. From booking to leaving, dining here was a pleasure. There were 8 of us (including a 9 year old nephew!). Starters included plump smoked mackerel, generous and chunky game pate, parma ham and melon and chunky shrimps in a marie rose dressing. Delicious, generous and delightfully 'English' - this food wasn't pretending to be anything else than good. Main courses included Wild Boar Tournedos in a Madeira and Star Anise jus, Duck Breast with plums and a Mushroom Risotto. Again, largely 'English' dishes (excepting the Risotto) done well and served in generous proportion. Puddings ranged from ice cream to Almond and Cherry Pithivier via Lemon Pannacotta Tart with Strawberries and Profiteroles with Chocolate - delicious, we all agreed. Price wise we did not feel cheated. Including a bottle of Chateuneuf du Pape, a couple of glasses of Cote du Rhone and a couple of Pints, we paid around £25 a head. The food and attentive service justified the price. Though the Speech House has had a slight makeover, the spirit of the place has not been lost. As with so much of the Forest of Dean, there is a palpable atmosphere . . . . a sense of being alone (in the nicest way). The comfort here more than makes up for any feeling of loneliness! Curl up after a hearty meal with a book or one of the many magazines or papers besides one of the many roaring fires. The Speech House is so called as in addition to being a hunting lodge and later an inn, it also functioned as the place where free miners and verderers (forest dwellers) came to have their disputes heard by the monarch or his/her representative. That sense of place and history still remains. It's a delight, long may it stay that way.

What a find! Driving through the Forest of Dean, we happened upon this historical spot. We…read moreexpected very little as we sat down in their quaint Orangery overlooking a jewelled green lawn and garden and even greener fields beyond. After yesterday's experience in Oxford we were wary when eying the menu and finding "cream tea" for only 5.95£ but three of us decided to risk it. It just felt right. It was perfect! The teas were delicious and hot (and the pots were ceramic and of the right size). Additional hot water was served on the side. The scones were warm and flaky. The clotted cream was just that - cream! Clotted! And the strawberry preserves were sweet perfection. Our server was attentive but not obsequious. The building was beautiful (having been constructed as a hunting lodge in the 17th century). If we'd had more time we would have stayed the night and spent more time. Highly recommended for those on a road trip!

Helpful, courteous, and attentive friendly staff, always there when you need them, but at the same time unobtrusive.

All the usual room comforts are provided such as tea/coffee making facilities, ironing board+iron and TV. The bathroom was really gorgeous too with a roll-top bath plus walk-in shower. Expensive smelling toileties & beautifuly soft white fluffy towels completed the superior ambiance of the whole building. Breakfast was a delightful experience, with excellent quality locally sourced food, and plenty of it. Some things were even home-made too, like the delicious jams and marmalade. Oh, and better not forget to mention that they also cater for veggetarians. There is lots of attention to detail here, with everything you could want to hand - and if it's not there just ask, & you will be given - with a smile, I might add! I can't praise the owners high enough for their unwavering consideration towards their guests, which in my opinion more than ensures return visits, and plenty of them!

The old house is very well kept and as you would expect as you enter. The bedroom I had was a good size with a King size bed (but not necessary as I was the only one in it!). The bathroom was very modern except nowhere for the toilet roll to 'live' and no place for your toothbrush or aftershave to sit. The mirror had LED's in it but didn't work, and the shower floor very slippy (no anti-slip) as I almost when ar** over t**!!!! The swimming pool looked new and inviting (I didn't use as I was here on my own and couldn't be bothered). There was just something missing at every level really. Staff constantly called you 'Sir'...

The lovely and bubbly Louis checked us in and gave us our first taste of just how friendly the people of Stroud are. The hallways have a funny scent reminiscent of primary school, crayons maybe. As per usual with the Premier Inn, the rooms aren't luxurious, but they are clean, have all of the necessary touches and not outrageously priced. In the UK and Europe, the size of beds is always a bit of a disappointment, but we were pleasantly surprised to see a Super King in our room. The windows in the room open, so if you're a weirdo who likes fresh air and low temperature in the room, no matter the temperature outside, you will like this. A giant Tesco Superstore is just across the street, so we popped in to pick up some goodies for our breakfast, and a few items we hadn't seen in our local stores to bring home. The restaurant and bar downstairs is open until 10:00pm, I believe and does have some beer and wine on, though no real ales or craft beers, sadly for us. All in all, we were incredibly happy with this find, and highly recommend it for your stay in Stroud.
