Forthay床和早餐(Forthay Bed and Breakfast)

Having been impressed by the Web Site, we were very disappointed with the reality. “A warm welcome with tea and cakes” is the heading on one page. None was offered. The “Dog friendly” page indicates that complimentary dog treats will be offered on arrival and that dog beds and bowls will be provided in the room. None of these things were provided. Evening meals are shown as being available, apart from Wednesdays and Saturdays. When we tried to book a meal, we were told that they no longer provided this service. Why has the Web Site not been updated? Guests are invited to enjoy drinks at the licensed bar. We saw no sign of a bar and were given no indication that one existed. If there were hens in the garden, busy laying eggs for breakfast that day, as indicated, they were very quiet. We saw no sign of them. Nonetheless the breakfast menu offered a wide choice and was well presented and cooked. Unsurprisingly, for a building of such an age, the stairs challenge the north face of the Eiger for steepness. A warning to this effect should be shown on the Web Site, as they are likely to be unsuitable and very much of a risk for elderly people. As it was, we were left to struggle up them with suitcases and a dog, with no offer of help from our host, who led the way. Access from the car park to the house is across a muddy unlit lawn. This represents a hazard at night especially, as the owners dogs, obviously use it and leave evidence behind. Also croquet hoops, etc. are in place and could be tripped over in the dark. The weather was very autumnal during our stay. There appeared to be no heating of any sort and our room, the breakfast room and the “snug” were uncomfortably cold. The only wardrobe in our room was full of clothes, presumably belonging to the owners. If they needed to make use of it, surely, it should have been locked. Overall, the house and grounds have a somewhat neglected look. This is a shame, as it is a property of great character, situated in a quiet rural setting, with easy access to many places of interest.

We had the most enjoyable stay. Like your favourite Arm chair but with wonderful Courtesy and high standards down to the Fresh Milk and Butter Knife and home made preserves at Breakfast. So Lovely Thank you

Great check in , great service from start to finish Great nights sleep

Very disappointing. Although situated in a nice rural location the property did not live up to expectation. Worn and grubby with the owner's clothes in the wardrobe. The worse thing was a lack of basic hygiene as we found the cat on the dining room table at breakfast licking the remains left on plates from a previous guest's breakfast. There were dog turds on the lawn which had to be crossed to the entrance. Certainly not worth the money. Lacking attention to detail.

Warm welcome in a lovely location, well located fir Cotswolds Way shd excellent local pub

The B&B is certainly dog-friendly as advertised. The owners dog bit me on the leg, so not quite so people-friendly. Be careful if you decide to stay there. Being an old house, the headroom is low in places. The water pump is noisy and wakes youup if anyone turns on a tap or flushes the toilet at night.

A great stay, very comfortable. Quirky house. wonderful hosts. Beautiful setting

The bed was very comfortable and breakfast delicious!

The Forthay B & B was part of our package arrangement as we walked the Cotswold Way. It was certainly the best we encountered over our 8 day walk. We were welcomed graciously with tea and homemade scones in the front garden as we arrived and soon felt revived from our long day of walking. The hosts are very helpful and pleasant and the room was very comfortable. If we would have known better, we would have planned an extra rest day as our only regret is we didn't have quite enough time to fully enjoy the place and surrounding countryside. Superb breakfast in the morning and we were quickly on our way
