my husband and i stayed at the forest side hotel wth some friends on the may bank holiday weekend and had a brilliant time. The hotel is wonderful and where ever you sit, be it in the lounge or dining room you have the most amazing views from which ever window you look through, it is so peaceful and relaxing. during our stay we saw the badgers both evenings and on the following day we were lucky enough to see the dear come down from the fell, it was fantastic.The room we stayed in was beautiful and very clean.we were made most welcome by shelly and dave and all staff were very friendly,nothing was to much trouble. there was tea and coffee on tap constantly and i must say for the two days that we were at the hotel we ate in and i have to say shelly's home cooked food was immpecable,soups amazing and everything freshly cooked to order, also the prices are very reasonable. I find good home cooked food hard to come by these days (10 out of 10) We will return in the future and will also give the murder mystery weekend a go. well done . love june and paul (bury)

This hotel just gets better, spent a superb weekend here enjoying the "Murder Mystery Weekend". Excellent value! Great wholesome Lake District meals (no pretentious Michelin stars here thankfully) and an extremely well plotted and organised weekend of sleuthing

. The hotel offers a great location for walks or for just sitting and enjoying the atmosphere of an extremely friendly hotel Spacious hotel car parking also means no worries parking up, unlike some other Lake District hotels where you are dispatched to try and find a parking spot away from the hotel if you are lucky. Can't wait to come back.

recently stayed at this Hotel, very impressive on arrival lovely building. The bedroom was very tatty in dire need of decoration peeling wallpaper on the ceiling. The room was never cleaned properly or beds made up. The room was above the kitchen the noise from early morning was dreadful. The sitting room was like a youth hostel no wonder the candles were burning everywhere at night obviously so that you couldnt see the threadbare upholstery. The only plus of the stay was the food and that was great.

We visited Forestside in November, worried re some of your reviews, read after we booked. It turned out to be the most welcoming hotel we ever stayed in, and we mean, across the world, and all gradings. Yes, refurbishment is gradually taking place, and more to be done, however, we were warm, relaxed, and nothing was too much trouble for Shelly and Dave. We look forward to going again soon, and would have gone for Christmas given more time to arrange. The house and grounds are exquisite, and great walks from the door. We have reccommended to our friends. Good luck, and thanks. Hope to see you soon again.P&K

I can highly recommend this hotel, my friends and I had trouble finding accomodation and the Forest Side not only accomodated us but went out of there way to make sure my disabled friend had a room that was wheelchair friendly.
The food is very good and the staff are really really nice.
Congratulations Forest Side, We'll be back.
