Forest Holidays Reviews 

Location super, stunning, amazing!
But lodge very tired, needed a lick of paint, new furniture( collapsed settee) some linen thread bare and frayed.no heated towel rail or washing machine/ dryer
Wet towels and dressing downs everywhere!
Plenty of cutlery, plates etc but tiny dishwasher for a 6 bed lodge
Rip off TV...u need to upgrade your package to allow your own netflix etc package to play
Hot tub was great, cosy for 6 as only 5 seats
Access to woodland walk...less than 10 secs from lodge
As I checked out..lady in front was complaining about several other issues
To sum up ... a lot of money for sub par accommodation

Arrived at the lodge , everything looked good , nice and quiet . Check in was easy . The complex is small and very quiet . Brilliant for a family with disabilities.
Hot tub looked great .
Then went to unpack in the master bedroom , an unpleasant smell , called house keeping to take a look . I will say they were quick to help us. Messed about for about 30 min, said it was sorted .
After an hour we could smell the it again now coming down the stairs where we are having some food . Called them back again.
Even the maintenance person said they could smell it as they walked in the house.
They said they were fully booked and no other property was available.
So we left at 8pm was informed we would get a full refund and a free upgrade if we come back .
It’s been over 2 weeks since we arrived back home , had to chase them about the refund and how to go about getting the upgrade. They did respond saying sorry and the refund would happen in the next 14 days , making it a month since we arrived home , unacceptable as they lied to me on check out.
What they forget is the family plan for the weekend away , and taking time of work , all for it to go wrong . Are forestry holidays bothered about , the answer is no .

I’ve been almost in every site around UK probably 2-3 missing yet but I’ll cover the gap soon. Every time is a reliable choice to have a rest in the nature. With family or friends you can’t go wrong with Forest Holidays. Very good quality stay in amazing natural spots, enjoy a barbecue or a dip in the hot tub, a nice walk and some sightseeing…simply love them.

A wonderful time away with the family to relax and unwind in the forest.
We particularly like Keldy for its variety of cabins, easy to access location and the on site amenities.
It's a great place to spend some time with nature.

Splendid few days away, hot tub great as well as the accomodation, food in restaurant was great as was the service road around lodges not the best but you are in a forest with wild life!! didnt effect the holiday, just dont wash your car before you come🤣 joking apart we will def stay again, many thanks

The lodges are lovely! The staff are so friendly and welcoming, especially to my dog who loved the attention. Staff were also very knowledgable about the surrounding areas of things to do and see. Clean and tidy throughout the lodge and the park.

We stayed in two lodges with a group of 12 friends ( six couples) at Delamere forest cabins. We stayed from Friday to Monday morning. It was an amazing experience. The place is so nearer from Manchester that one doesn’t have to go far for such lovely experiences in the nature. Accommodations were clean, well equipped, with all the required amenities. Hot tub and barbecue was superb. Walking in nature was the main highlight of our stay. Staffs were very pleasant and helpful.

We had booked a stay at Blackwood Forest Monday to Friday.
Unfortunately upon arrival the WiFi wasn't set up for us despite paying premium.
This did get sorted a few hours later.
The cabin was freezing. A lovely chap came very promptly with 2 mini heaters for us and got the underfloor heating going but it took up to 18/24 hours to fully work.
The lodge has no heating as in radiators or
heaters just underfloor heating.
We had ordered a Pizza deal £43. Unfortunately the pizza 🍕 was awful we couldn't eat it. But the sides were nice.
The biggest issue was lack of cleanliness, we didn't even stay 24 hours. We left.
Shower heads full of mould and rust
Towel ring holder, towel radiator, corner shelf , shower screen , plugs all rusty, mouldy and full of limescale.
Cobwebs, spiders inside, mould in corners.
Cracked tiles.
Sticky floors.
I must say the staff were nice and understanding. They did offer us another cabin or to clean the cabin.
But for us we had already packed up and wanted to go home as the damage was already done.
We have received a full refund for the accommodation which was only fair.
We just want to share our experience with others incase it helps anyone.

We had several issues with our stay. I will give you a brief description.:

The wood burner was in operative due to the seal around the door hanging off.

There wasn't enough hot water to fill the beautiful bath you had on offer. I only managed to fill it to about a hands width. We were advised not to use the heating to get enough water to fill it, this did not work, still not enough water and we missed the heating when it was nippy outside.
This was a little disappointing as obviously, along with the wood burning stove and hot tub, was a major part of the attraction of this lovely place.

We wanted to watch a couple of films and other things on the television, for which I bought the premium package, that was also inoperative. We had a two members of staff over in the evening trying to find the fault but they were unable to do so.

The coffee machine didn't work for some reason. It was taken away repaired and bought back. We had 1 cup phone of coffee and then it failed again.

The tap on the right hand basin in the bathroom was extremely difficult to use, stiff and scaled up.

On the day of departure, for which I had booked late leaving, the hot tub was not working. We had got up early to use it and were disappointed as we were not informed that this was the case.

I had booked this for my wife and I, and dog, for her 60th birthday. It is a beautiful venue and the accommodation, apart from the glitches, was lovely; one just expects a little bit more functionality when paying around £1500.00 for three days.The staff were very friendly and I have no complaints about them, apart from wishing I hadn't seen them so much :)

I had a holiday booked with my family that I haven't seen in a long time and I was really looking forward to it. Unfortunately, something came up and I was no longer able to go.

We tried to see if we could reschedule to different dates but we were denied because we didn't pay for the flexibility add on. We offered to pay that fee so that we could reschedule, but we were denied. We offered to pay just to reschedule but we were denied.

There were cabins on offer for the week before to try and fill vacancies, so we asked if we could move our booing to those dates, using the standard prices we already paid so they could sell our dates again at the normal rates. We were denied.

If we wanted different dates, we'd have to make another booking. We were forced to loose over £700. For a company that are supposed to create good experiences, they sure are good at making bad ones

Despite following up with the CEO I have not had a reply to my email from 24th AUgust. Please could you kindly ask him to review my request urgently, thank you

Dog friendly massive lodge with 2 x bathrooms plus large deck & hot tub. The site shop was great plus you can order pizzas & burgers for tea if you fancy a night in & then collect from site at a time that suits. The steam train which we caught from the station on site was a great day out with refreshments served on board but you must pre-book tickets. The walk into Beddgelert took around 20 mins & we ate in a couple of pubs there, would recommend the Prince Lewellyn. Zip World is not too far either if your feeling adventurous & has dog sitting facilities.

The cabin was very clean and in a peaceful location.

The staff was very helpful and attentive when needed and went above and beyond.

Rest and relaxation. Lovely break.

Well worth the money would recommend.

Everything as expected. Group of 8 woman celebrating a 40th. Had the pizzas delivered to the cabin on the first night , good value.made good use of the hot tub. A good time had by all.

Lovely stay in Glentress forest in July. We were given the only cabin that is in direct sunshine all day. The facilities were good and the food was nice. We happened to stay when there was a mini heatwave so having that cabin was great. We found all the staff to be very helpful and attentive. Couple of niggles is that the Wi-Fi is none existent so you have to pay for the upgrade at £60 for 4 nights. The in cabin app to order food was down and our phone signal was out so couldn’t phone down the order. The site roads are not great with the being very gravelly and full of potholes which caused me to lose my footing a couple of times. The on site shop is extremely over priced for the few food items it has in there. I wouldn’t recommend this site for people with mobility issues as some of the roads ate very steep. A great place if you love biking with a few trails. All in all a good stay and would recommend

Poor start to holiday due to missing items in food package and poor response from management

The location was great. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
The lodge we stayed at was very quiet and spacious inside. Our dog loved the walks in the forest.
We went for a nice quiet drink at the pub.

Great family time. Love the forest walks, Love that the retreat is open for drinks and food, even get it delivered to your cabin. Cabins are spacious, very clean, warm in the winter, cool in the summer with a well equipped kitchen. Hot tub is cleaned and inspected every day. Staff are friendly and helpful. Good knowledge of the surrounding places, walks and things to do. You can do as much as like, a busy time or just relax. Would recommend.

Our first time staying with Forest Holidays and we stayed at the Forest of Dean in June/July and had an excellent time. The lodge had everything we could have asked for, especially the hot tub, and we relaxed as soon as we got there. Would highly recommend Forest Holidays and looking forward to staying there again.

It's was peaceful and just really lovely. Staff was kind and friendly aswell. My kids enjoyed it especially the hottub and been able to see the deers in a morning. The forest was lovely to walk through, we didn't even cover half it's massive! Will definitely be coming back. So deffo a must if you enjoy the nature and peace. The cabin was absolutely beautiful!
