Booked this place after looking online ad came across the website. First time I've ever been on a…read moreforest holidays site. On first impressions i was very impressed. We didn't arrive till evening but the reception was open till 8pm so luckily someone was there to give us key. The reception is called the forest retreat which is also a small cafe, and shop. Which supply local produce and the essentials. We never ate in the cafe but the menu looks basic such as pizzas etc but useful if you have no food in your cabin. Also free wifi there. We drove round in the dark to find our cabin, which was quite hard as no lights on site but it was sign posted by numbers. We were on the new site, not realising that it was brand new. Apparently the new cabins have only been there a few months or so. You could still see the newly plants trees around each cabin area. Our cabin wasn't in the forest at all but it was close the forest retreat which only took a minute to walk to. But i would have liked to have been more hidden away. But i could see those cabins hidden more in the forest were the older ones, and ours was defiantly at lot more modern and new. Once the newly planted trees have grown around the new cabins I'm sure this would help solve this issue. The cabin was top standard, wooden floors, brand new furniture, under floor heating, log fire, hot tub on the decking. Modern electrics and fully fitted kitchen, we cooked in all weekend and had all amenities to do this. Kitchen fitted with fridge freezer, oven, microwave, toaster, kettle, dishwasher. Only thing is it doesn't provide dish cloth and washing up liquid but they give you a couple of dish washer tablets. So would advise to bring your own cleaning equip if you want to keep on top of the cleaning on your stay. The pillows were too big and gave you a bad neck so a couple of types of pillows would be better. Also the fans in the bathrooms were rattling all night due to the wind, but these are minor issues. Bath robes and towels are supplied, but no hair dryer. We had the dogs too and they loved it. the decking area is all fenced off so they can't get out which was so helpful. They have loads of walking area in the woodlands behind the site for the dogs which you can let them off. You have to keep them on lead in the site for obvious reasons. The forest retreat they can go inside and pick up a free dog treat. The dogs loved coming back to sit in front the log fire in the cabin. We managed to pick up wifi in the room swell. Unfortunately due to the bad weather it went down the first night. As you get no signal at all in the area until you drive up the road the wifi is a must ! There is onsite actives mainly for children, such as climbing and archery. Along with a childs playground and you can hire bikes for around £15 per day for adult. There is lots of pubs in the area. And symonds yat isn't far at all. The only thing it was out of season for the area as we wanted to go to Go Ape but is closed Nov - Feb. Along with other activity companies we checked out. We stayed 3 nights Fri - Mon in the golden oak cabin. Paid around £450 which is ok if you had another couple but for just us two was quite a lot. So i will defiantly return but next time sharing the cost, and when in season too. Overall had a very lovely stay - thanks forest holidays :)

It is very busy during the school holidays and summer. The pool operates on a timed slot basis, and you are given a coloured band which indicates the start and end time of your session. The pool has a decent waterslide, a children's pirate ship play area and a separate toddlers area. There is a jacuzzi type bubble area where you can sit/lie which is joined to the main pool. There are two swimming lanes - sometimes roped off and sometimes not - which are fine for some relaxing swimming - but due to the size and temparature (Very warm) of the pool they are not really suited to serious swimmers. You can sit and watch the swimmers in a seated area, and there is a good size changing village, including family size changing rooms. There are aqua aerobic classes available during the week.
