Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

What a magical place tucked away in a garden of Eden. So lucky to sit under the trees and listen to the sounds of the birds - it makes you feel like you’re in a far away land. Friendly and welcoming staff with comfortable rooms - can’t wait to come back!

After a two night stay at Forest Hall the only thing that remains is for me to express my gratitude and thanks, and I am sure everyone else left being deeply touched by the professional, but above all, personal service by all the staff members. Our sincerest thanks.

This is by far the best accommodation in PE. Absolutely 10 out of 10. Everything we needed for our family and more. Large rooms with every amenity and great food and staff. Swimming pools and tennis courts with beautiful garden and tasteful finishes. Look no further than Forrest Hall.

Beautiful rooms, beautiful gardens and great hosts. Dave and Hilary made us feel so welcome and was like a home away from home. Great venue for weddings. Very central to all shops and entertainment. Will definitely be returning in the near future and would highly recommend.
