The Speech House is a lovely historic building in the most magnificent setting in the Forest of Dean. The staff was exceptional, the food was wonderful, parking was easy. The only downside was the size of our room being rather small.

This is a lovely old-fashioned country hotel with a massive charm appeal. We stayed in a room in the cottage which was great with a sitting area as well as comfortable bedroom and bathroom. Everything was in good condition though the age of the building meant some aspects were a little dated and keeping on top of repairs must be difficult - and due to location, the wifi was poor. Breakfast was exceptional - cooked to order and of the highest quality - though the coffee was only filter style from an urn. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recmmend - provided you are not looking for the latest mod-cons

We were in the cottage room 26 .we were the road side .There was nt a prolem as didnt hear the traffic .But the room needed updating .the bedroom was very small with 2 single beds .which probably would have been better with a double .the bathroom was also very small with shower over bath .But saying that it had everything that was needed .we just stayed the one night and only slept in the room .we found the hotel very well run nice staff. The bar lounge and dining rooms in the hotel was lovely .The breakfast was definitly worth it .very nice and plenty .I would stay again but probably would recommend staying in the hotel .
