Stayed for 3 night DB&B basis.We took advantage of the 3 nights for price of 2. The room no 11 was in the new annexe. The room was large and very well furnished including small sofa and tastefully decorated. The bathroom was a good size with large shower over bath. Pity it was not a separate shower.
The room overlooked the inner courtyard/ garden
The dining room was well furnished although the chairs were not very comfortable being very upright and straight....but they did look good. The menu was fairly extensive and the quality good but not exceptional. There was a good wine list but prices a little on the expensive side. Cheapest decent dry white £16.
Breakfast was very good with a good buffet range. The service at breakfast and dinner was excellent. The only small gripes we had were:
a] the area of the bar/bistro for pre dinner drinks was a bit small and basic
b] when we visited the website and booked on line there was no mention that the allowance for dinner was £26. Also nothing to this effect in the e-mails confirmng booking. It did state this on the menu but that was a bit late by then! So we ended up paying extra. Which was unfortunate because it took the edge of what otherwise would have been an excellent stay. Despite that it was very good value for money by virtue of the special offer.

We have just had a 3 day stay at the forest and vale and it cannot be faulted .. the food is excellent .. the rooms spotless and the staff first class
The hotels position is superb with a smashing garden for a sunshine tipple

my wife and I stayed at the f&v in march this year, and truely enjoyed ourselves. the food and service were second to none.
we will certainly return.

stayed over christmas which was the busiest time for them however the staff were more than capable of looking after us and i would advise anyone who wants a trip on the north yorkshire moors to stay at the forest and vale.
Thanks again
