Inspector comments
"Hospitality is a considerable strength at this former hunting lodge."
Overview
The Speech House Hotel is a former 17th-century hunting lodge set in the heart of the idyllic Royal Forest of Dean. Nestled in the centre of a tranquil forest environment, it is the perfect combination of original charm and modern hotel and wedding venue facilities. There are 35 comfortable bedrooms on offer, several with impressive antique four-poster beds. Relax in the informal Orangery and enjoy a tasty lunch or traditional afternoon tea or visit Verderers’ Restaurant and indulge in a fine dining experience. The hotel is dog friendly and has a EV charging point.

About the area
Gloucestershire is home to a variety of landscapes, including the Cotswolds, a region of gentle hills, valleys and gem-like villages that roll through the county. To their west is the Severn Plain, watered by Britain’s longest river and characterised by orchards and farms marked out by hedgerows that blaze with mayflower in the spring; beyond the Severn are the Forest of Dean and the Wye Valley.
