A stress free day
Right from the first contact with the hotel, Katie, the events co-ordinator was amazing! Nothing was too much trouble for her and during the planning stages she offered her expertise and advice and helped to make the experience a pleasure rather than stressful! The day itself was amazing from start to finish. Katie and her wonderful team worked so hard to make sure that every detail was realised to perfection. The food was amazing, the service second to none and the laid back atmosphere which we wanted to achieve was just how we had envisaged it. We had our dream day and there were so many positive comments from guests, some saying it was the best wedding they had ever been too! We would highly recommend the Forest to anyone considering a wedding venue.

Our perfect day
We got married at the Forest last year and it was absolutely perfect and brilliantly organised from start to finish. From when we first popped in to look at the room we knew we would be well looked after by the staff particularly Katie who was our planner. She was so organised and in particular the day before when handing over all the favours & decorations so I could focus on getting ready on the day. Our guests were amazed at how the room was changed so quickly and smoothly from ceremony room to our meal then for our evening do without really noticing! The food was fabulous and allergies were well catered for. I was worried about the weather for the drinks reception on the patio so having tables reserved in the bar was a relief due to the heavy rain on the day but it didn’t ruin anything! Really couldn't have asked for more for our perfect day!

Our special small wedding
We booked the Forest for our wedding. Due to various circumstances we had to change the date three times. This was never a problem. It was a small wedding with 16 guests who also stayed the night. The room was just the right size and decorated beautifully for the wedding, the evening meal and even breakfast the next morning. The staff were wonderfully attentive and helpful even though it was busy. The bedrooms are lovely, individually designed and clean. More than that they were ready from 11am to make life so easy for guests arriving from all over the country. The food was also of a very high standard. They made our special day very special - THANK YOU

Outstanding value for money and the staff are amazing
You're in safe hands at the Forest, Katie gives you a sense that your important day is important to her and her team too. The venue is small but perfectly formed and having a bar in the main room is something a lot of bigger and more expensive venues lacked. We have attended weddings where far to often guests are lost in different rooms getting drinks etc but the Forest is well thought-out and the biggest challenge was getting people to leave! The staff worked tirelessly and were non stop, we had the extended license but the staff we're still attentive and looked like they were enjoying themselves despite working at 1am. The Forest has 12 rooms, it does limit who you can have stay at the venue but there's lots of alternative hotels within a 1-2 mile radius and i was quite glad that approx 80-100 family and friends were staying else where. The food was beautiful, the drinks never stopped and Katie will always look to go the extra mile for you. We had nothing but wonderful comments about our venue of choice and would recommend it to anyone.

Nothing is too much trouble
We got married at The Forest on 23rd Dec and we could not praise the venue and staff highly enough! Despite it being an extremely busy time for the hotel, they could not do enough for us. Katie, in particular, was superb. She was always on the end of the phone to answer any queries or reassure me of any worries. She helped me to plan the wedding and on the actual day she was a real diamond, making sure that everything went smoothly. Thankyou Katie for all of your hard work! Sian and Andy were also brilliant, helping out with last minute things the evening before and on the morning. Sian even ran down the road to catch my veil as it nearly blew away - Nothing is too much for all of the staff at the hotel! All of our guests had a wonderful time, we had so many comments about the food and how lovely it was. All in all, an amazing venue with amazing staff! We would definitely book again for other events.

The best day of my life!
Granted, the whole experience from beginning to end could not have been any better. A big Thankyou to Katie for making our day all we could have dreamed. The finest of details were taken care of. The food was exceptional and the service impeccable. We are over the moon we chose to get married at the hotel and would highly recommend every aspect. Thankyou again all, Mr & Mrs Wills xx
