Although our arrival was unexpected the young and eager staff were keen to ensure we settled in to our no frills, clean and warm room with what felt like a warm welcome and sincere willingness to serve. Our two night stay was made to feel all the more special with delightful service from the proprietress at breakfast, coupled with a... More

After reading that this place had received bad reviews I felt compelled to write something to say that this simply isn't the experience that we had at all! We stayed in the Royal Forester in October of 2011 for the weekend. We wanted to have a meal there on the night we arrived and had every intention of going off... More

A warm welcome, good room (Pear), well presented dinner and excellent breakfast More
