Forthay Bed and Breakfast

An incredible home full of interesting pieces relating to the family. A great host who took the time to show us around and explain things. Lovely location, nice shower and a good breakfast with plenty of options.

Bed was far too soft for us, we had no television and the Wi-Fi was very poor

Lovely setting. Very friendly welcome from Charles. Excellent choice for breakfast, with delicious homemade granola and well cooked full english breakfast.

Lovely old house,...beautiful garden..our bedroom was ean and comfortable..the only downside was the very narrow roads to access the property,...but the scenery was stunning..

He gave us a ride from Dursley town centre when we were really tired after we walked 20 km. So nice and sweet.

We received an outstanding welcome from Charles and the property was stunning, in a gorgeous location. The house was spotlessly clean and the bedding and pillows were very comfortable indeed.

I did like the room we stayed in, at the top of the house, which was clean and warm. It had no wardrobe (which was fine for our quick overnight stop) but might be more difficult for a longer stay if you had more clothing with you.

Lovely property in a bucolic setting. Helpful and friendly hosts. Excellent if you have a dog(s), you'll fit right in. Great pub nearby for locals and newcomers alike serving tasty authentic Indian food. We came in chilly, damp February and it was still enjoyable, but in Spring/Summer it would really come into its own.

Not much. Breakfast was good but could have been a little larger - all options of cooked, toast, cereal etc were available though. The owners have a successful local granola and muesli business - forthaygranola.co.uk (we weren't paid to plug this) - so we bought a packet and are looking forward to trying some at home.

The beds and bedding were very comfortable

Cold, wet January visit. House felt cold, radiator in room cold on arrival in evening (so no preparation of comfortable room temperature by host). Parking area in remote part of front garden to house meant either walking on slippery muddy grassy path ( carpeted bizarrely) with suitcase and dog pen ( no thanks! ) or walk back on short drive to lane then walk down lane to small gate access to house which meant lifting suitcase etc on to raised bank in front of gate. Notice in front porch asking guests to remove shoes before entering! Having dog with us meant allocated room up two steep winding sets of stairs with suitcase and dog pen to attic room. Carpet stains in room. Toilet seat not fixed properly to toilet bowl. Dog wanted to go out for wee in night and being in attic it made taking her out a long way down steep stairs then back up 2 flights of stairs. Breakfast adequate (only 1 slice toast each for example ). Breakfast room not warm.

Delicious breakfast especially Forthay's own delicious muesli. The property itself is very attractive and well tended. Especially lovely was an evening reading by the fire in the 'snug' after a long day out walking. Our hosts were gracious, generous and provided excellent suggestions about walks and dining out.
