The Belfry in Forest of Dean

My friends and I stayed for 2 nights here recently.As a whole the experience was great, golf courses are lovely and well worth a visit.There are however a few negatives that disappointed the group:- The food in Sam's bar really isn't great, club sandwich probably gets a 3/10, the ham and cheese toastie is swimming in cheese and is extremely sickly - its not hard to make a decent sandwich so the chef needs to go back to the drawing board.- The price of the food is also badly reflected in the quality.- Part of the reason we booked the resort was to be able to use the spa, unfortunately the spa is non existent as it is being re done, just a heads up for anyone looking to visit over summer.- In the main reception there is a pond out the back which left a bad smell in the lobby. This also filtered through to the bar in the lobby which wasn't ideal.- The rooms are split by blocks and unfortunately we ended up in a block with a hen do, appreciate everyone wants to have fun but it'd be great if the resort could separate the hen do from quiet golf parties looking to get some rest before a big round.- Beer selection is okay but bud light and corona on tap have got to go.Some other positives to note, rooms are lovely, towels are lovely and fluffy and the power from the shower is terrific. Staff also very friendly and not much waiting around to be done, always a plus.Overall would visit again but some work to be done to make this resort the real deal.

Went for the Sunday carvery which was absolutely lovely. Generous portions and very tasty.

Lovely place lunch was delicious service was good would highly recommend x

Nice outdoor area. Excellent pint of ale. Clean and tidy

Brilliant Hotel/ pub nothing was to much trouble the staff all brilliant and friendly

Stayed for 2 nights for a family party which was held there.We had doubles and a family room. Rooms were a good size and clean.The buffet was good, breakfast was very good, meat i would imagine locally sourced. Also eat in the bar again no complaints.No complaints regarding staff, everyone was pleasant and Shane the manager? was particularly outstanding, proficient and kind. Thought it was very good value for money.Would definitely stay again.

Staying near by and came here for a meal.. they don't allow dogs inside but are allowed in the garden with plenty of seats though...we had a meal and drinks. great staff plus the food was good.. will be coming again before we head home..

Real shame. Been going here for a while now. This the second time the bar staff have been rude to me and my wife. It was the older lady behind the bar again. She looked at me with a deftly stare like 'who do you think you are'. I only asked if they could turn the racing down on the large sound system they have in there because we found it difficult to have a conversation. It was through the whole pub so we couldn't find anywhere without the loud sound. We looked around and many of the people were being quiet. Probably because of the same situation we found ourselves in. The young girl said I was wrong as well. It would be fine to say no as its race week and we would of gone somewhere else with no hassle. Just no need to be rude.

Very nice, only droped in for a drink this time. But they also do a great sunday roast, well priced and plenty on the plate, and a wide choice of meat and Veg. Highly recomended.

Decided to try here after a few years living in the Forest. It was meal to celebrate my dad's birthday & my parents anniversary. I booked the previous day by a lovely lady and was greeted by lots of friendly staff this afternoon. Our table wasn't quite ready and was told we could have a seat in the bar area. Before we'd finished ordering our drinks, the lady came round and told us our table was ready.The food at the carvery was impressive. Nice choice of meats and vegetables. We filled our plates, but struggled to finish it all. It was a really enjoyable meal. Best one for a long time. We were really impressed with the friendly, warm welcome we received from the staff and the service. Will definitely be back. Thank you all ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
