Forest of Arden Hotel & Country Club

Used to be a great hotel, rooms are dated.. bar & restaurant staff are Ok, reception staff are useless

Lovely place, quite an old building. Expensive food, but good quality. Breakfasts were slightly cold. But overall beautiful hotel.

All good

Our stay was a chance for 3 friends to meet up from across the UK. We don't ask for much, just nice coffee with somewhere comfy to sit and drink it and chat. A nice pool to relax by and spaces to chill out. A comfy room to rest in and recouporate. Sadly it wasny quite any of these things. There are no comfy sofas in the cafe area and the coffee was machine made. The pool was very dated and only 1 lounger so no where to relax and enjoy the spa facilities. There was a room upstairs in the treatment area however this cold and not very comfortable and only accessable when you book treatmens. The treatments were really lovely and this was the highlight. Breakfast was really good too, so much choice. Again the coffee was machine made so not very nice but the food was good. The rooms were dated and the beds not the most comfortable. We all woke with a headache that wasnt down to drinking! The hotel has so much potential and some small changes would make all the difference. I believe the hotel is being bought out which explains the feeling of the hotel being neglected.

The hotel wasn’t signposted very well but it was great service from the gate onwards. Large, clean room with all the amenities and friendly, helpful staff. Looks popular with golfers. I would definitely stay again.

Beautiful building. Well maintained

The dining area was very noisy due to the willy waving by the mail golfers, as they were not with there wives. The fire alarm went off and although there were fire exits in the dining area the procedure was to guide guest through to reception area and out the front door. Cold water in the morning so the early morning shower was a bit bracing. Paintwork looks tired. Although the rooms booked should of been the same they were not. Take you hiking boots, wheel chair or Zimmer frame with you as it is a large hotel and the higher numbered rooms involve a long walk

Overall very good

Positives: The staff were excellent, very helpful and polite. The hotel is managed well and very clean. Plenty of parking (including electric charging stations) on site and secure gated access to enter the country club. We had some issues in the room which were resolved very promptly. The breakfast was great and many varied options. Negatives: The rooms are in dire need of refurbishment. The bedroom and bathroom are very dated. The fridge in the room was very small.

We stayed at the hotel as we had an early morning flight from Birmingham Airport. It was ideal, a 10 minute drive away. The room was lovely comfy bed and pillows, quality products in the immaculate bathroom. As it was pouring down we ate in the sports bar, nice meal. Can't fault the stay for a reasonable price.

Short overnight stay, wry reasonably priced, lovely room and facilities.

Staff working hard. Food good. But the hotel is in need of modernisation.

Good dinner and friendly staff

Food all out of a packet. Reception staff could barely speak English.

Very comfortable bed! Clean and tidy. Friendly staff. Great breakfast.

Needs an update, breakfast room far too small. To many tables squeezed in

The place looks good food very average

Stayed one night for work. Really close to the NEC. Lovely gated grounds with really friendly staff. Room was a generous size with huge bed. Food was great and breakfast had a great selection of hot and continental food. Will definitely stay again!

Property was a bit dated overall. Requires a face lift

Good 3 night stay. Very comfortable room looking onto golf course. Staff friendly and helpful. Good gym and pool. I'd stay again
