A great choice for a stop over. One of the most comfortable beds we've stayed in, tasty evening meal and very welcoming & friendly staff.

Rooms are comfortable and well-equipped, the food and ale are excellent and the staff friendly and helpful.What more could you want?

I stayed for a week this year and as always, great food, great pub and locals....live entertainment.I will be back next year.

My third and probably not my last stay.

Great place to stay while walking in the Wyre Forest with dog. Friendly atmosphere,delicious food and really comfy bed. Very enjoyable

Good value large room which was well stocked with beverages.The TV wouldn’t tune in which was frustrating and the bath though large was very uncomfortable. The food was pub grub and reasonably priced. Great location next to Wyre Forest with good walks for our dogs. Rather noisy late evening though it is a popular pub and our room was above the car park.

We enjoy staying at the Forester good service great staff.

Had a lovely stay. Room was very good. Food was delicious. Will come again. Highly recommend

Fantastic hotel, welcoming and friendly staff. The food had a good variety and the cocktail menu was super, especially the espresso martini and the amereto sours. Rooms were clean and very nicely themed with different fruits which made each room unique in their own way. The different teas and biscuits in the room gave a lovely homely feel. Plenty of storage space for clothes etc. staff all very helpful upon arrival. Would recommend again. Will be back in future trips .

Lovely friendly attentive staff, comfortable bedrooms & perfect breakfast. Recommend.

Comfortable Room, slept well and enjoyed my dinner, many thanks.

I stayed one night here sharing a twin room with a friend. We both agreed it was everything we wanted. Good value, friendly and helpful staff, lovely comfy and well-decorated room with a great shower and toiletries, Netflix! And we enjoyed a delicious dinner and breakfast in the bar. Can't fault it.

It is a Great location for getting into the Forest in particular. Lovely room, friendly & helpful staff. The Bar, Restaurant & outside seating areas are nice as is the food and drinks available also. I stayed for 2 nights and will happily stay again. Many Thanks

The rooms are really comfortable, the food delicious and what made it special for me was the friendliness and helpfulness of all the staff, nothing was too much trouble.I would definitely recommend it.

The royal Forester was a great find.The rooms are well appointed, the staff friendly and helpful and the food great.Will definitely return

We broke a long journey by staying in this pub which is within walking distance of the Wyre Forest.There is a separate bar and restaurant which was quite quiet which was surprising as the food was very good although we did stay mid week. Our room was clean, a good size and contained a fridge (nice bonus). Our bathroom could have done with a little TLC but this did not detract from a pleasant stay.

The staff were very welcoming on arrival and I was able to request a bottle of sparkles in advance to be in the room for when we got there. We stayed in the Cherry room for 2 nights. The decor was fantastic and the red theme ran throughout the room. There was a decent amount of coffees and teas with a fridge in the room too. The cafetiere with coffee provided was a lovely touch. Highly recommend.

Basic room but very clean and everything you require, breakfast great and the staff are extremely efficient and friendly

Staff polite and helpfulbut room could do with a bit of air-conditioning because you have to leave the windows open and the road is very noisy

Always a pleasant stay at The Royal Forester.Great service.

Brilliant ! can’t fault it would highly recommend it , friendly efficient staff.

Pleasant room and a good value breakfast make this a good choice if visiting Bewdley & Wyre Forest

Very good staff. Very helpful and accommodating. If I'm in that knock of the woods again I will definitely stay there.

Room was comfy and clean and had everything we needed.could maybe benefit from a new matress. I have lower back issues and woke up a bit sore.overall happy with the stay in terms of value for money

It would have been nice if there was a mini fridge in our room as if you woke up during the night thirsty n you could have a cool drink. The bed was very comfortable. It was also nice to see the winners placque of Four in a Bed

Lovely large room and great en-suite - bed was really comfortable - great location for exploring

Very friendly and relaxing.Excellent breakfast.

As above

Lovely stay, very comfortable rooms. Clean and nicely decorated. We had 2 rooms my room was perfect, the family room was great, they provided a travel cot for the 11 month old. There was also a fridge; a nice surprise. Just one small moan, the door to the outside area was below their room and was allowed to bang, luckily it did not keep the children awake, was just a bit annoying. However would recommend this as a great place to stay. Food was amazing!

We only had one brief night at The Royal Forester, I drank in here back in the 80,s when my parents had a caravan on little lakes.So lots of memories!It’s not changed much over the years.It’s a lovely place to stay the staff are lovely the room was massive, I had the best nights sleep I’ve ever had staying away from home.Ideal for visiting my family who live out here.Definitely be back . Breakfast was excellent.

I stayed for two nights. The room was very clean and well provisioned with small fridge and coffee/tea facilities. Breakfast selection was excellent and I would highly recommend

Excellent food with great accommodation, definitely come again.

We stayed here for a couple of nights as it was very close to a family "do". We felt the place looked a little tired, but that said our room was clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. A very good breakfast choice served anytime between 8am and 12 noon. Good value for money.

Very nice stay. Nice breakfast. Nice room

Lovely country pub with clean rooms and great setting.Excellent cooked breakfast!!

Excellent service friendly staff lovely rooms thanks for the lovely stay

Clean roomGood showerNice breakfastFriendly staff

Fab country pub, great rooms. Fabulous food. Friendly staff. Free parking.

Stayed for one night and had a nice relaxing evening.. rooms were average and a little overpriced in my opinion as I've stayed in many hotels.Staff were friendly and very helpfulGreat vegetarian breakfast!

My wife and I stayed for one night as part of our wedding anniversary celebrations, arriving at Sunday lunchtime.We chose The Royal Forester because we enjoy our food and had eaten there before.The inn is cosy and inviting with friendly staff who clearly understand their jobs and try to make customers as welcome as possible.The lunch was delicious, very well cooked and presented and was served promptly.We sat in the bar during the afternoon, near the lovely wood-burning stove until we retired early to bed.Potential visitors should just be aware that there is no dinner service on a Sunday because it is quiz night.That wasn't a problem because we had eaten so very well at lunchtime.The bedroom waswarm and comfortable and we enjoyed a good night's sleep before coming down to an equally enjoyable breakfast the next morning. Definitely a 5-star place to visit.

We had a good stay with a lovely room and bathroom.Staff were friendly and welcoming didn’t spend lots of time there as out exploring the area. Food in the restaurant was excellent.We were a bit shocked that the private party music on the Saturday evening that was very loud in our room lasted until 00:15 and we were only told about this private party as we were delivered to our room on the Friday .. other than this our stay was very nice thank you

Superb value. Staff very friendly and attentive. Gorgeous olde world pub

Great service, spot on room and food was excellent, same as usual to be fair

The hotel is very homely and welcoming. The room was very comfortable and had plenty of space to relax in.Both the evening meal and breakfast were delicious. Thank you

Lovely little country pub with friendly people. Plenty to do in the area

Rooms were great - each one unique with it's own colour scheme. Lovely touches like colour co-ordinating towels.Really enjoyed the evening meal - restaurant area quirky with little alcoves and snugs. All staff were hospitable and smiley. Great breakfast choice abd good value

I like to stay in different hotels when I visit the area for work. This is the first time at the Royal Forester and I am likely to return as the people were friendly, the pub has a nice country pub style, my room was spacious and comfortable and the evening meal was excellent

We really enjoyed our two night stay. The food offering is great and really good quality. Bar area nice. Rooms comfortable and clean and clearly well maintained. Also nicely modernised. Great later than usual check out time. Looking forward to returning in summer when outside seating are and pizza oven is on the go. One minor point - would be useful to have dining times relayed or displayed.

Great value for money.Friendly staff.Delicious breakfast.

First Class country inn accommodation with an excellent chef preparing wonderful dishes. Room well-appointed and pleasant. In addition to top class restaurant the bar area, with woodburner is very relaxing with a great range of beers etc. Super location for the steam heritage Severn Valley Railway, Bewdley Safari Park, Severn Valley Country Park and Wyre Forest Park. Birmingham is less than an hour away by road or rail (latter from nearby Kidderminster).

Firstly, a 'shout out' to the incredible team. They are all amazing. Sean (the si ger) is particularly brilliant. Very professional, helpful and courteous which these days is hard to find. Thankyou everyone for a great stay for our son James's 40th birthday party which you also did a fantastic job with. Again, nothing too much trouble. Food is awesome. We really had a fabulous time. Thankyou. Caroline and the family x

Staff were all very kind and professional. Room was clean and comfortable. Variety of choice for breakfast

Stayed at the Royal Forrester after hosting a Retreat Day locally.Food was fantastic as was the service. Friendly staff and nothing was too much trouble.We all enjoyed dinner and drinks.Rooms were fab!Fresh and clean.Had a lovely nice sleep.Breakfast was delicious and again friendly staff taking order and serving.Many thanks.I will certainly return in the future.

The accommodation is in the countryside but well located to walk to the Wyre Forest. Rooms are fun and well equipped, with fruit and colour schemes. With 3 of us staying, we had two disappointments. 1. One of the rooms wasn't ready for check-in at 5pm. 2. One of the rooms had no functioning heating, so had to wait about 30 minutes for it to be checked and a fan heater brought to the room.Dinner and breakfast was very good.

Spacious and comfortable room with good food, service and entertainment in a lovely area. Great that we could bring dogs. Thank you

Amazing place, very welcoming and friendly as soon as you arrive.Room and bathroom are comfortable and a decent size. Lovely food!

The staff were great no problem was to much trouble very clean and the band that was on for the new years celebration was fantastic everyone had a great time well done to all the team …. Keep it going…

Only stayed for one night as a post Christmas night away with the wife.Booked the Superior Double and everything was perfect - spacious, clean, comfort bed, smart TV with Netflix & Prime Video included. Food and drinks were great value. We both opted for the small steaks in the evening and were ideal portion sizes for us. Full English breakfast was spot.Great place to stay without costing a fortune!

Friendly host & staff all very helpfulClean comfortable room

Unfortunately I arrived too late for dinner and had to leave too early for breakfast however the pumpkin room and facilities were beautiful clean warm and comfortable

We have been to the Royal forester Inn before and this was our fourth visit we have never been disappointed.Staff are very friendly and always happy to tend to our needs.Food is always lovely and rooms comfortable and clean.

Lovely place to stay room lovely really injoyed restaurant and bar live music my sister lives in bewdley and as never been to royal Forrest in but said she had a great night there and when we visit again would definitely stay here

Had a lovely stay in the Royal Forester, we stayed in the cherry room which was spacious and had such a comfy bed. Parking is on-sight and they do a lovely cooked breakfast in the morning for an additional cost.We would stay here again when we next travel up to Worcester.

As always this was an excellent and very comfortable stay. The welcome is always very warm from the staff and the food in the restaurant is excellent. It's a bonus having the Wyre Forest just across the road to go for an evening run.

Lovely cosy clean room, nothing was a bother to anyone, food was excellent couldn’t fault anything

Went out of their way to help me with a problem I had not being from the area... then fantastic food and comfortable accomodation: couldn't ask for more for what I paid!

Very nice room, good food and beer.Lovely people.

More to the place than meets the eye … nice room, well appointed, friendly professional team, loaned an elec fire after rad didn’t work, and a forgotten charger socket, good breakfast, easy to locate, good parking.

Excellent as always! Very comfortable, well appointed rooms. Great large screen TV. Powerful shower. Friendly, helpful staff. Food, including breakfast, is all excellent. Always stay here when in the area.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Nice place with in beatiful surroundings.

The staff were extremely friendly and attentive very good service

The Royal Forester Hotel is a very warm and friendly place to stay. The Rooms are very comfortable big and spacious. We stayed in Pumkin Room as my wife is registered disabled. the wet room was ideal for her to wash and shower in compfort. The Owners and Staff are very Friendly and helpful, making sure all your needs are met during your stay. Any problem that was faced during our stay was soon sorted by the Owners and Staff. The Evening meal which my wife and i both had was very nice and i would highly recommend the food. The Continental Breakfast in the mornings of our stay was also very nice and again i would recommend it. I do hope to definately return to the Royal Forrester in the future.

We had a lovely night at the Royal Forester. It has a great atmosphere and is a ‘proper pub!’ The staff are lovely and the food is excellent! We were in the Blueberry room which overlooks the courtyard so meant with the window open we could enjoy the tunes being played by the chef in charge of the pizza oven. It was really cosy. We would definitely return!

Pleasant stay in comfortable room. Good selection of reasonably priced delicious food.

You couldn’t want for more staying at the Royal Forester.Clean rooms, great food & fantastic staff.We will definitely be back.

1st class stay as usual, good food, comfortable bed and great service. Although the lady on breakfast duties will be Sorley missed when she retires.

The staff are very friendly. The food is delicious. The room is spacious and quiet, bed is comfortable. The carpark is hidden, taken me three round the block before I found it. I'm happy to recommend it to my freinds.

The staff were very welcoming and friendly, which is always a good start.We had a superior room, which was a good size with a lovely big bed, a large TVand a good sized bathroom with both a bath and a shower; the shower was very nice and powerful. Added bonus was a fridge in the room which is a very rare find and one we very much appreciated.We had breakfast two mornings and it was lovely; freshly cooked and well presented.Overall, it met our needs and was a good price and a good location for our visit.The room needed a little TLC in places, (my hubby thought that the carpet was actually just underlay . ., the bottom of the bathroom door had obviously been affected by water from the shower/bath). when we first arrived there was a very strong smell of cooking, but we left the window open whilst we went out and the smell had gone by the time we got back and didn't return.It would have been nice to have at least one hand towel as well as bath towels.The towels were a good size, however, they were a bit grey and showing their age; but they did the job.Ideal for local attractions such as West Midlands Safari Park.

Very accommodating and let us use the room before check in time, to get get ready for a wedding. Clean and tidy and very friendly staff.

Very good value. Very pleasant room - large comfortable bed, large TV, modern bathroom, all facilities needed, including plug sockets and Wi-Fi.Pleasant surroundings.Disappointed no evening meal on a Sunday - we should have read the 'small print', but helpful staff redirected us (and several other guests who had made same error), to a local restaurant. Breakfast - ample/well presented.Starting to reach the stage where some refurbishment generally is needed. External areas need some 'tidying up'.

Beautiful area, very helpful and friendly staff.Live music the tin drum were brilliant.The rooms are good size everything you need and very clean.On a Sunday they do not serve food in the evening so think ahead (gutted because it looked fantastic)

Our whole family took up residence in all of the rooms for my daughters wedding down the road.Mark was very helpful in helping me to arrange the stay for my family accommodating the children too.I can’t thank the Royal Forester for their hospitality and amazing breakfasts

I can not fault the place at all. Comfy bed and clean room. Breakfast was extra! What a fabulous feast it was. Good produce and well cooked. Incredibly low priced for the portion size and quality. Needs updating in parts of the room! Well worth a visit.

Brilliant staff nothing to much for them … the food we had on the night also was amazing would recommend any one going there to try the menu.,, complements to the chef’s skill…. Breakfast was great also … rooms very tidy and well kept…

Room was spacious, very clean and comfortable. Food was amazing would definitely recommend and very close to lots of areas of interest. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Really nice bar, friendly staff and agood choice of lagers, dog friendly so it was nice to see lots of dogs while I’m away from mine. Room was nice breakfast was very good. I will definitely stay here again if I’m in the area.

Really enjoyed our stay for our 7th wedding anniversary. Cleaniness is a 10 out of 10. We had breakfast and it was so delicious. Bed was a little uncomfortable but cant complain as our stay was just what we needed and so glad we booked. We will be back to stay again in the future! Thank you

We stayed at the Royal Forester inn fi one night while have a couple of days fishing at Furness Mill !!Lovely friendly hosts , Food in the restaurant was lovely , Room was really clean and welcoming !! AND the entertainment in the evening was great !! The Sqeaky Pete trio!!! Lol !! Absolutely fantastic !!Will definitely be staying again !! Thank you !!

Very comfortable, lovely room with everything I needed. Great food, lovely staff. Will definitely be back to stay☺️

Comfortable room, great food and friendly hosts. Dog friendly as well. Great stopping off point for journeys up north from the south where we live.

The Royal forester is a very good pub ,good food and breakfast,clean comfortable room with a large comfy bed,We stayed on a Thursday night and the pub was buzzing but all quiet in our room from late evening

Had a really pleasant stay, food and bar was excellent with a nice variety of both ales and food.Nice comfy bed, road traffic outside can be a bit noisy but nothing toomplain about, breakfast in the morning was exceptional, really tasty, check in and out was speedy and hassle free, would stay here again if in the area.Thanks again.

Excellent accommodation very comfortable room ,food also excellent.

great place

Perfectly situated close to Wyre Forest, Ludlow and Hartlebury. A community Gem with lots of character. Room was great, staff were lovely and the food was amazing! A very relaxing and chilled atmosphere.

Very good place. Free car park, bar, dining area. You can drink and eat. Modern room. Big bathroom with bathtub.

Enjoyd my stay. Good food and nice wine. Loved the pancakes for breakfast!

Friendly staff, good evening meal, breakfast and a very comfortable bed.

See above.

Another stop over at the Forester and another great night’s sleep, the food and drinks are scrumpy!We had the venison pie 🥧 WOW!. Staff friendly and helpful . Would definitely stay again and highly recommend.

I booked this hotel as a last minute meeting came up around 30 minutes from the hotel. It was easy to find and the staff were welcoming.I had a delicious dinner and dessert even if I did receive the wrong dessert (I’m not one to make a fuss) drinks and food were reasonably priced meaning I could have 3 drinks on my small work budget.I went for the superior room as again this was within budget and the bed was very comfortable and the bath was a great size.Not anything to mark the hotel on but I didn’t have access to ITV2 on the TV but wasn’t a big deal.Thanks guys was a brilliant stay and I would definitely use again

The whole team were friendly and thoughtful, the room was large, comfortable and well equipped and the food was great. Would definitely stay again.

The room was great! Lots of space, large bed and good facilities.However, the breakfast option could have been better. We were expecting a cooked breakfast which we've tried before and enjoyed.Because it was Christmas morning, a cooked option was not offered, which was disappointing as the chef appeared to be on hand and we didn't feel it was that busy at breakfast but we even had to wait 20 mins for pastries.That said, we'll be back! We enjoyed our stay overall.Thanks,Rob

Lovely stay, very clean and comfortable room. The food was delicious and staff were very friendly and helpful, especially with my gluten free food.A great place to stay, we look forward to a return visit in the future.Many thanks.

Great family run pub , enjoyed our food especially breakfast very friendly and perfect location

This was a place I selected near where I needed to go the following day. So it was my first visit. It was just superb. The room is top-quality and wonderfully comfortable and equipped. Wide long bath, drinks and snacks, big bed, TV, everything for a good overnight stay. I also ate there. The owner and hostess is charming and spent 1/2 hr with me talking as she got breakfast ready. The place is a compliment to her efforts; thank you. She definitely went the extra mile as they say.

This was our first visit to this location, but we were so impressed we have booked to return in 7 days time. The Standard Room my partner and me shared had everything you could possibly want, but we were asked each day if there was adequate supplies, or if a top-up was required. This negated the awkwardness of having to 'ask for more' !!All meals were freshly prepared and cooked to an excellent standard. And it was lovely to sit in front of a real log fire to enjoy a feast fit for Royalty!Thank you to management and all staff for making this a break to remember, and for all the right reasons !!

Stayed 10 nights over the festive period. Rooms are spacious, warm and very well priced. Food is excellent and also very reasonably priced, especially the breakfasts, best eggs Benedict I've ever had !! Staff all friendly and welcoming. Nice atmosphere all round. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area.

Food superb, staff helpful and friendly. Only one thing not very good was the bedroom carpet- it was stained and tatty, otherwise a really good stay and we would stay again.

As always the Forrester was comfortable, clean and charming. The food at dinner and breakfast was lovely.This was our 3rd stay and we shall be back in the summer. The staff are lovely and friendly. My mother, my young son and I really enjoyed our stay this Christmas.

2nd time we have stayed here wonderful staff great home made food well worth visiting we will return 👍😊🍻

We really enjoyed our stay. From when we arrived to when we left. Nothing was too much trouble. The room was lovely and food amazing. We will definitely return. Xx

From welcoming check-in to a comfy bed and great ‘aubergine themed’ bedroom, lovely evening meal, very nice breakfast , snug fireside drink…….a really enjoyable stay at the Royal Foresters Country Inn.Would definitely stay there again when in the area.John Rowlands

Lovely room (plum) very good breakfasts and excellent dinners. Highly recommended

Stayed for 3 nights at the Royal Forester, enjoyed excellent facilities and service throughout.Comfortable rooms, good food, helpful staff and convenientlyLocated. Would highly recommend if staying in the area.

From beginning to check outPolite teamBeautiful roomCleanComfyWarmJust what we neededPlus food fabulousAnd bar warm and friendlyWill come gain

The room was very nice and clean. The bed was clean with plenty of pillows and blankets and I had a good nights sleep. The bathroom was clean with plenty of towels but there was no soap in the soap dispenser so I had to use the shower gel from the shower. Breakfast was excellent and I enjoyed the cooked breakfast very much. I enjoyed my stay and would stay again when in the area.

No complaints at all.Our room was very clean and had everything that we wanted.The food was very tasty and all the staff were friendly and helpful.Also very dog friendly which was a big plus for us.Will certainly stay again if we are travelling in the area.

Arrived early so we could spend time in Bewdley , we had breakfast prior to our visit to Bewdley which was very good , the accommodation was spotless good sized bedroom and ensuite we had a meal in the evening which was both plentiful and good quality ,breakfast was good the next morning the staff were excellent nothing to much trouble , we would definitely recommend the Royal Forester

I stayed at The Royal Foresters for two days because I was attending a local wedding.I was absolutely delighted to discover all the rooms are individually designed and colour matched to unusual fruits. I was in Blueberry! The attention to detail is excellent and the bed and bedding comfy and rather luxurious. Even the bath is deep and long, which is rare in a hotel.I enjoyed lazy soaks on both days of my stay! Set in the Wyre Forest, wood features extensively and very attractively in the bar and restaurant and reflects the Forestry name.The staff were very helpful and friendly, the food in the restaurant excellent and the menu varied.Breakfast was cooked to order and was delicious too.I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and it added to my overall pleasure of attending a special wedding.Thank you everyone that I met. Annie Parkes - North Wales

Luxuriously appointed room with a huge comfortable bed. Un fortunately, due to evening commitments, we weren’t able to eat there, but the breakfast was substantial, freshly cooked and delicious. Would have no hesitation in recommending

Very friendly, helpful and welcoming. Great stay for a last minute booking

A small but very welcoming hotel with a homely feel good factor. Staff kind and accommodating. The room was very comfortable and quiet with good facilities. Although I didn't dine there the bar and restaurant had a great atmosphere and looked lovely.Would definitely recommend it and will stay there again.

Thanks to everyone at your hotel for an excellent stay room food staff were all excellent and we are returning the middle of December for a further visit of 3 nights to enjoy your facilities again 👍😊

We really enjoyed our time at the Royal Forester, the room was quirky but comfortable. Restaurant food and service was very good.

Very nice place to stay with good food and super breakfast.Good band on friday evening. TOP! Nearby Wyre Forest...very lovely.See you next year.

Great value and lovely breakfast.

Plenty of space for parking in the overflow car park. Room was great - spacious, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was exceptionally good. Staff were courteous and efficient.

Room was clean and spacious and the location is really handy for the Wyre Forest Park and beautiful Bewdley. Staff were very friendly and went above and beyond to be helpful.

Great place to stay, very comfortable rooms, dinner in the restaurant was brilliant, huge selection of items at breakfast including homemade pancakes, everyone very friendly and helpful

A lovely place to stay. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. Our room was everything we could wish for. Our breakfastand evening meal were superb.

What a beautiful place to lay your head for the night. The atmosphere in the pub was brilliant and everyone was so pleasant, including the customers. Although we didn’t stay for food it looked and smelled gorgeous and breakfast was lovely with a huge choice. Thank you.

We were travelling quite a distance to attend a wedding and decided to make a weekend of it. We searched the area local to the West Midlands Safari Park and came across The Royal Forester. We were not disappointed. The history of the building is well worth a read, very interesting. We received a very warm welcome and shown our room, The Pumpkin room (there are 7 rooms, all named after local produce).We had booked a table in the restaurant for our first night, extensive and very reasonably priced menu, all locally sourced products. Both of our meals were superb. Breakfast was included both mornings and what a choice!! Again, just superb.To sum up, our two night stay could not have been any better. A beautiful, quirky, and very popular hotel and restaurant, we will definitely be doing a return visit.

We stayed in a large room, and it was very enjoyable. The only slight problem was locking/unlocking the door was difficult owing to the large key fob

Loved everything about our stay.Friendly staff, lovely room with a comfy bedand also excellent food. Great value for money.Will definitely be coming back.

We enjoyed our stay enormously .The room and ensuite was comfortable , spotlessly clean and sufficient for our needs .We had a bottle of wine and 2 steaks with chips and salad for £40 .It was delicious and amazing value .Rob enjoyed a full English , by a lovely lady , who was extraordinarily busy , but was helpful . I then met the landlady ( I think that is who she was ) she too was charming .The price was amazing and I can thoroughly recommend .

Clean, tidy room with great natural decor. Great breakfast in the morning

A warm welcome on arrival at a particularly busy Bank Holiday afternoon, immediately shown to my room and invited down to the bar when refreshed.My room, Blue Berry, was comprehensively equipped, plenty storage space and a very comfy bed.A fan was provided for the warm nights.The bathroom contained a huge bath, curved out at one end for the shower enclosure, plenty of fluffy towels and upmarket soaps and shampoos.I ate in both nights, the food was fresh, hot and very tasty as were the full English breakfasts and the help yourself breakfast bar.The Royal Forester totally deserves it's star rating and I recommend it to anyone thinking of staying near Bewdley.

Lovely room with great quality breakfast.Outstanding customer service, well done to all the front of house staff.We would stay here again and will be recommending you to friends and family.

Me and my partner stayed here on the bank holiday weekend as we were attending a wedding.We couldnt of asked for a better b&b!!We were given a very warm welcome and shown to our room, which was lovely and clean with a good supply of tea coffee and biscuits. We stayed in the aubergine room which was one of the bigger rooms and was perfect for us for the long weekend.My only complaint was the breakfast menu had so much yummy choices i couldnt decide on what to have each morning. Sadly we didnt get to try the evening menu but we will definitely be popping back at some point to try it out.The staff were all very polite and helpful and there is plenty of parking.Thank you for making our stay an enjoyable experience and we will definitely be back very soon.

Better than I expect from a small British hotel.Large room, VERY helpful staff and good meal deals.Would definitely consider staying again.

Nice staff.Very nice quirky rooms.Food in restaurant was ok.

My fifth stay love this place very friendly, spotless rooms , great staff a lovely relaxing break

We had a lovely welcome and shown to our room. Unfortunately it was close to the kitchen extractor but as soon as we mentioned it we were offered another room immediately. Very comfortable with lots of room, big TV and lovely bathroom. We stayed 2 nights, breakfast was good after working out the system and a varied evening menu with fresh pizzas. Good location for enjoying the area and plenty of parking.

The room was lovely, bed comfortable. But there were a few cobwebs. Breakfast on first day not very good bacon very salty, black pudding and eggs over cooked, second day better as just had sausages and toast

We found this beautiful pub on our travels a while ago and have always found the food to be 5 ⭐️ But we decided to try one of the rooms for the night and I can say we were not disappointed the room was spacious and tastefully decorated, the bed was one of the most comfortable we had ever slept in. The breakfast menu was extensive only downside for my partner was there was no porridge on the menu but we would definitely stay here again

We enjoyed staying at The Royal Forrester.The staff were indeed pleasant and helpful, even going out of their way to satisfy a request

We had a great stay! The bed was absolutely massive and very comfortable and although its above a pub you couldn't hear people downstairs at all. Would definitely return

Comfortable nights stay

charming countryinn lovely friendly staff, restaurant and breakfast plenty of choice,food lovely service first rate, room lovely and well presentedrecommend and would stay again thank you.

Bedroom was comfortable, food was good, excellent breakfast.Overall, good value.

Great service, Friendly Staff, Good Food and Beer........ as I was up working very early in the mornings at the nearby show ground it meant I missed the breakfast, so a member of the family owners, brought a Breakfast Bap up to me at the Show!!!TOPGEARSOUND

We stayed Fri 5th & Sat 6th August - after a fraught journey to reach you, we were calmly & efficiently booked in by Joe, he took our bags to our rooms, helped me up the stairs (I have mobility issues) and got us settled.We went back down to get a much-needed evening meal & it was just fine.It was cooked fresh, served hot & tasted great.While that was happening, Joe booked or cab for the following day to go to our family wedding.Everything went as planned - HURRAH!On our return on Saturday night, we went to our rooms fatigued but very happy.Sunday morning breakfast at a civilised time taken on the sunny patio was truly to be remembered - Thanks to all for a lovely weekend.We would certainly book again, and recommend you to others.

They have done a lot of work on this lovely little pub with rooms. Clean. Nice design of rooms and bathrooms great food, good service.Only negative was the room I was in had noise from an extractor fan which stopped when the kitchen did. (10pm) This wouldn't be a problem if you went to bed later than I did. Will happily stay again in a different room next time in the area.

I don’t normally leave reviews but I just had to comment on how much we enjoyed our stay at The Foresters. The room was spacious and a very comfortable bed and I loved the quirky decor. As for breakfast it was outstanding. Really great quality and cooked to perfection. The lady that looked after us was very friendly and easy going. I only wish we had longer as it was just a flying visit but should the opportunity come up for us to visit the area again, I know where to come. Thanks very much

Lovely place to stay.The rooms were very comfortable ours had a small fridge,big tv with lots of channels,comfortable bed and the room was nicely decorated.We had Sunday lunch and breakfast and they were both excellent.There was a bit of road noise but wasn't to bad when the windows were shut.The staff were lovely and welcoming.We would definitely stay here again.

We found this a very friendly, comfortable and welcoming place to stay overnight. The rooms were well apointed and and the breakfast menu was one of the best and most reasonably priced we've encountered over the years. For some people, however, it may be a nuisance to find themselves having to accept the noise from the busy road outside!

We used this as an overnight stopover on our journey north.It was very pleasant with a lively atmosphere even on a Sunday night.There was a problem for those wanting an early breakfast as no-one arrived to open up but that did not affect us.

Booked just because near Midland Safari Park.Reallly happy with what we found. Rooms great , massive bed , maybe one or two too many cushions!Sumptuous walk in shower , all new and very clean.The staff really friendly and efficient. Food , well cooked , good portions and plenty of taste. Good quality not over expensive.Overall value for money excellent. This is a real gem. Would definitely recommend and visit again.

Great 2 day stay. Live band on Friday night and great selection on the menu of really tasty nosh 😀staff great and helpful with early breakfast that we needed. Highly recommended 5***** thank you John and Cate D.

Staff great, room was great except for continuous hum which you were aware of and are looking at remedying. Breakfast excellent and staff very accommodating to needs

Arrived to a friendly and enthusiastic welcome. Room was very good and clean with a fabulous and comfy bed. Food was excellent with a good and varied menu and an excellent breakfast. Would certainly stay again if in the area for a few days

My daughter and I stayed en route from the Isle of Man. After a really warm welcome & being offered help with our bags, we were taken to our room. It was ideal: spacious, light & airy, really well appointed, spotlessly clean. Lovely full size toiletries, super comfy bed and the bonus of a fridge. Excellent evening menu (delicious & nicely presented). Our reservation included breakfast and the quality and choice was superb. I feel that our stay offered fantastic value and I would recommend the Royal Forester heartedly to anyone. Finally, a commendation to all of the staff: welcoming, friendly, courteous & relaxed. Thank you!

All we could have wanted for a nights stay. The room was very clean and comfortable, and our little dog was made truly welcome. Fantastic location for accessing the Wyre Forest, which along with being Dog Friendly was our reason for choosing it, and a great breakfast in the morning.....with an extra sausage for our dog.

It' hard to find somewhere to stay for a couple of nights that's not part of a chain, but that's exactly what the Royal Forester provides. With just 7 rooms it is a home from home. All the staff from the owner, who does the rooms herself, to the bar and restaurant staff are very friendly. The food is of an excellent standard and the breakfast menu is more extensive than many a larger hotel. I would recommend this Inn to anyone wanting to stay in this area.

My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Forester Inn. The room was lovely and the evening meal was delicious. We had so much choice at breakfast and the staff were really lovely. I would definitely stay again.

The Royal Forester is like a B&B, but with the dinner possibilities. Clean facilities, friendly staff and good breakfast & dinner for a very reasonable price. I'd go back there...

We were welcomed by friendly staff to the Aubergine Room, (with its outsize key-fob), offered evening meal at a time of our liking. Not so many vegetarian options as we were led to believe, but pleasant all the same! Excellent choice for breakfast. Room comfortable but maybe a second chair would be welcome! Enjoyed our stay and would recommend The Royal forester to anybody.

My second stay great rooms friendly staff amazing food , clean comfortable

Despite arriving late we were greeted warmly and shown to a lovely, bright, large room with a sumptuous wet room bathroom. The Inn has a very rustic feel, but with no detriment to its overall feel. Due to Jubilee weekend it was bustling, lovely feel. Breakfast was to die for, the granary toast was excellent and service great. Evening meal of fish and chips and bbq sausages was fantastic, but the Special Cider Co. cloudy cider was the best I have ever tasted, and could have drunk many a pint. It is a virtual certainty that we will be booking again, as the area is one we would like to visit for longer.

Three negatives:Gooseberry room very noisy from Kitchen fan, major problem as fan has to be on most of the day until 9pm.We would not have chosen this room had we known.Hot water boiler broke down one day.Fixtures and fittings especially in the plum bathroom needed updating.Four positives: Staff lovely friendly helpful kind.Breakfast included, plentiful, great variety, and delicious.Evening meal of risotto perfect.Cleaning excellent.

Good sized rooms, quiet location and staff helpful. Arrived just as kitchen was closing (9ish) so can't comment on dinner. Bar was quiet for a Friday night and started to close about 10 but staff were happy to serve after we asked. Breakfast was plentiful and good value.

Easy to find, ample parking for works vehicle. Room was a good standard with everything you would need. Room and ensuite was clean and well presented.Breakfast was good as was the service - will stay here again when in the area.

We stayed in the pear room, with a lime green colour theme. Very comfortable bed with everything we needed for a nights stay. Requested a hair dryer from the bar and this was delivered straight away. Friendly and helpful staff. Had a great meal, there was plenty of choice on the menu. Wood stay again if in the area.

Nice place. Clean, Modern, Comfortable rooms. Good choice of Breakfast.

Was recommended by an old work colleague who lives near by. Friendly service. The room was nice, comfy and clean. I normally struggle to sleep whilst away, but the bed was comfortable so slept like a log. Although the pub is next to a busy road I did not notice the traffic. met up with some friends and had a meal during the evening and the food was good pub grub and the beer was good. I had the full English breakfast and it was one of the best I have had so really impressed. so ,to sum up I was well fed and watered and looked after, can say more! will stay again definitely and good to see a pub that is lively and doing well!

Large room and very clean and bright. Very large comfy bed.A good nights sleep followed by a good breakfast.

The room was lovely, staff were friendly and helpful, dinner was spectacular

Wonderful place, warm, friendly, clean.Nice room, well prepared, comfortable, clean and spacious.Friendly and efficient staff (well impressed with how well they coped with party of 50 plus ordinary guests).Great food, wonderful breakfast and will look forward to coming there again.Only downside is the car parking, which is not well organised and difficult to get in/out of if full.

Cannot think of anything NOT to be impressed with.. Room perfect.. Very clean and spacious.. Food excellent.. Plentiful and great value for money.. The bar.. Good beer and selection of drinks.. Staff exceptional.. Very cheerful and friendly.. Would highly recommend staying here.. Thanks and Cheers..

Really friendly helpful staff. Large comfortable en suite rooms and excellent food. The glorious Wyre forest is just down the road. We will be back.

The staff were very welcoming and friendly, the room was spacious and very comfortable my one suggestion would be perhaps a grip rail to get out of the bath as it has a very high step out.Everything was very clean and modern. We also ate in the restaurant where our waitress was also very friendly and efficient - would thoroughly recommend and, would definitely return!!

Spent 2 nights here with colleagues over from Italy.All found the rooms very good although one found her room rather cold.Breakfasts were excellent with a really good selection and the lady running the restaurant couldn’t do enough for us,food well cooked and hot.Have asked work that they use this Hotel for all future stays in Kidderminster.We all had a meal here one evening and was amazed at the choices and value for such good food (Italian comments).Recommend for a stay or for a meal.

Nice an clean room (The Pumpkin room).Very tasty breakfast.A bit too low water pressure in the shower.

In my experience the best room I have ever had on any travel and the best hotel I've ever stayed .The food and all experience was great .

Fantastic place to stay food was wonderful beds are very comfortable cleanliness superb will stay here again and again when in this area staff very welcoming

Very good thanks to all the staff

The room was clean and comfortable, food was excellent, both at breakfast and in the evening. The location was ideal for exploring The Wyre Forest and surrounding area. The staff were very friendly, particularly the lady who served us breakfast.

Very enjoyable overnight stay in this dog friendly pub. Nice spacious room with all the amenities, evening meal and full breakfast great. Good choice of beers with very welcoming staff. A lovely way to celebrate our anniversary with excellent dog walking into Wyre Forest from the door. Thanks

Lovely place to stay, each room has a fruit or vegetable theme, we were in the pear room and the decor was geared to the colour. Bedding in greens and yellow, green glass sink and green bathmat. Lovely handwash, handcream, shampoo and conditioner. Lots of choice of teas and coffee and biscuits provided. Breakfast was great, again a lot of choice of breads,cereals, fruit juices and fresh fruit, plus a big choice of cooked breakfast, the blue berry pancakes were superb. We ate there twice in the evening and again the food was of very high quality with a decent choice. Could thoroughly recommend this place.

Stayed one night as a stopover on the way from Scotland. Although our welcome was a little haphazard ( didn't seem like we were expected, room was not set up as twin as requested, table booking seemed to cause confusion) our actual stay was comfortable, with everything we needed. We has Sunday lunch and breakfast. The food was fantastic and delicious, worth the trip alone! Definitely go for the food,

Great stay. Short walk to heart of the Wyre Forest. Good choice of breakfasts included. Excellent and interesting meals in the restaurant at a fair price. Live music one of the nights was brilliant. Would visit again and definitely recommend.

Comfortable room, good food, very friendly staff and would recommend

Amazing place. Staff amazing rooms lovely food delicious

Warm welcome from staff, very helpful. Room was nice and clean, bed was very comfy. Evening meal was nice and breakfast was good. Would definitely stay here again when next in the area.

Amazing place to stay. Nothing was too much trouble. Extremely warm reception, lovely atmosphere created by dedicated staff intend on making our stay as enjoyable as possible. Will definitely be back.

My Wife and I had booked a one night stay ,on arrival we were greeted and shown to the family room which exceeded our expectations ,really warm and comfortable.The bar was very welcoming ,our evening meal was most enjoyable after which we had a great time with locals listening to a rock band playing . Our thanks to Sean, Maxine ,Arnie and staff .Needless to say we look forward to returning .

The room was great. The only thought I have is - breakfast is available from 7am according to the information provided. However, as the kitchen team do not start until 7am it is not possible to have breakfast at 7am....unless the owners have found a way of distorting time and space!

Excellent pub with accommodation good beer /wine and food. Friendly stafflarge wood burning stove, fond memories of n old English Pub.What more can I say, breakfast was great

Loved it here , just stayed for the night but will definitely going back . Great location and the staff couldn’t do enough.

We arrived on Thursday afternoon with our German Shepherd dog and after being shown to our good sized bedroom to unpack made our way back to the bar for a drink. The hotel is opposite the Wyre forest so off we went to explore. We had a really delicious steak dinner in the bar area ( great for the dog), the service was excellent and the staff were very friendly and helpful. After a good night’s sleep in a comfortable bed, a full English breakfast we left the hotel to explore more of the forest. We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who wants a relaxed break.

Lovely room although extractor fan quite noisyDelicious breakfastVery clean

The first time our puppy (Rufus) had stayed overnight anywhere and the staff made us and him feel so welcome. Relaxed by the fireside, walked in the woods, drank refreshing beer and ate delicious food. Had a good early morning walk and then enjoyed a great breakfast. Highly recommended.

Stayed overnight for a New Years Eve black tie event close by. Lovely accommodation,quirky rooms,excellent staff/hosts & fabulous breakfast. The owner kindly gave us a lift personally to the event due to taxi issue. Fantastic guesture & made sure we arrived for what was a memorable evening.

Apart from there being a minor delay in trying to find the room key (eventually I was given the spare key) everything was fine. A nice clean spacious room. A comfortable bed.

amazing place amazing staff and the food beyond words im a very fussy eater due to allergies but everything was to perfection and staff are so friendly nothing was a problem will stay here again in a heart beat

Friendly staff, warm and pleasant accommodation and very good food in the bar.

Great place to stay staff and locals friendly excellent food very clean lovely traditional old pub.. very dog friendlyand great location

We held a family meal at the Royal Forester and stayed over. The rooms are lovely and spacious, food was fab and service very friendly. We would absolutely stay again.The only criticism is the state of the shower head in the aubergine room.

Great staff, excellent food, good price, cosy,very clean.

Staff were very helpful and friendly. Room was clean and warm. We had are evening meal there which had 2 course meal for £10Which was excellent. We also had the breakfast in the morning which was excellent as well. We would recommend this place and look forward to visiting they again.

Lovely place, a warm welcome. All smoky fires and oak beams and cosy corners. Great breakfast and a nice modern room.

Staff were friendly and helpful. Stay was very comfortable. Locals were friendly. Would recommend to anyone. Well worth it to stay.

Room was fine , food was good and staff friendly and helpful. A nice atmosphere and comfortable chairs!!

Warm welcome, great room and super food-what's not to like!Our Sunday evening meal and breakfast before we left were both exceptional-special thanks go to Kay for looking after us so well.

We’d booked in after spending the day at West Midlands safari park. The check in process was already completed online beforehand therefore we were able to go to our room straight away. The room was a big, clean and very well organised. The bed was comfy and the blackout blind meant the room was completely dark.We ate an evening meal and breakfast and both were delicious and served up after a little wait.Staff were friendly and attentive and we will definitely stay here again if we’re in the area😀

My brother and I had two rooms here to attend a funeral.Rooms were clean and comfortable and well equipped.The food for breakfast and dinner were great. Although it was a sad time for us we enjoyed the friendly welcome and helpful staff.

Lovely spacious room. Friendly staff. Good food both for an evening meal & breakfast. Look forward to returning.

Lovely and friendly, food was very good, room was very comfortable.

Lovely place, ideal for us, we will be back but.A bit cold in the evening, could have done with the heating on for a couple of hours.On the Sunday evening we read in the instructions in the bedroom that Sunday dinner was 12 - 7pm, we went down at 6.45 but were quickly told the kitchen had closed at 5.0pm and we could order a take away. But a takeaway didn't suit us at all. I had two packets of crisps and my partner managed with nothing. There were enty of bar staff around they surely could have made us a sandwich.

Lovely large room, and great pub

What an amazing place to stay!Cost, comfortable room. Friendly and efficient staff. Amazing food. Highly recommended

We enjoyed our stay booking was easy and owner lovely polite ladywill defo stayhere again staff friendly nice cosy pub Thank you.

Excellent location, friendly staff and wonderful food. Would have stayed another night if only they weren't fully booked.Will return even if only for the steaks .

Excellent choice of food with very considerate and friendly hostess and staff. Very comfortable rooms which were very clean and tidy

A great place to stay and warm friendly staff that are happy to help and the food was good and a great comfy room,

When I was at Rome airport after trip on the Orient express I think it was Maxine who told me of your hotel, and said you had a gourmet restaurant.My meal of pork belly, everything was tough. We ordered extra veg which was totally different to what we were told it would be.server just laughed.No marmalade at breakfast and cereal bowls not cleared when main came.

Lovely place to go atmosphere brill, sevice lovely and the owner was so nice put the fire in in the big tent was lovely every staff member was lovely and helpful with my autisic children never self judged or anything will be staying again and recommending to everyone

staff , food and room all excellent.road a bit noisy at night

An obviously popular place with a buzz.Comfortable room, good towels but a shame the 2 liquid soap fittings were out of action. A problem with the basin plug was quickly dealt with.Staff friendly and helpful.Breakfast menu one of the best we have seen anywhere.Thank you.

We were in the area for a training course nearby and we stayed at the Royal Forester for 2 nights. The team were very friendly from the minute we walked in and throughout our stay. The room was very clean and comfortable, though shower gel in the bathroom would be appreciated next time! :) delicious food and would definitely stay again!

Fabulous large room with great en suite and very clean. Lovely food, simple but tasty.My only complaint is that the pub/ eating area needs a bit of TLC. Liked the atmosphere and style but you need to get a good cleaner! Dead flys, cobwebs, dust and sticky tables aren't doing you any favors!We enjoyed our stay though. :)

Very lovely room and lovely staff went out of there way for us lovely meals as wellThank you for doing the table for wife's 40 lovely surprise for herWe are coming bk in October with another guest so booked 2 rooms can't wait to come back

The staff were relaxed with our late arrival due to road closures. No problem to take our dog. The breakfast was a delight with every item we could think of on offer, including shiny fresh berry fruits. The only thing of note was the busy road outside the (only) Velux window to our spacious room.

Such a lovely place nice people lovely clean and comfy room would recommend to anyone brilliant thankyou

Thankyou very much Martin, we\'re glad you enjoyed your stay

We live locally, however wanted to stay as wedding was only down the road in Rock (2 miles) and be with family.My Mom who lives in Wales had called ahead about arranging transport to/from wedding venue, as we knew that local taxi firms generally do not like to travel outside the town on a Saturday night, she was told that transport could be arranged.Also we knew that another family member had already called four local taxi companies to prebook their return journey after the wedding and were told they would have to ring and hope there would be availability.On arrival, a taxi was called with a 40-minute wait and we were given a card for Regency Taxi’s … one of the four my Brother-in-Law had previously tried!So we made the decision to make a double trip transporting ourselves and leave our car at the venue overnight.Fortunately we were lucky for the return journey to get another family member to drop us off on their way home after the reception.Bedrooms were comfortable and we slept well.Could have done with more white sugar in room, loads of brown which does not work in tea!Breakfast … good selection of fresh fruit, cereal, etc.However, some of us with dietary requirements asked for the house breakfast to be adapted slightly.Swapping out some items for others.Waitress was lovely and accommodating.Same couldn’t be said for the chef, we happened to be seated outside the kitchen and clearly heard our order being read out and someone say “Grrrr this is going to take sometime, you’ll have to apologise for the delay”!It took 45-minutes from our order being placed in total, we also saw two people who were seated 20-minutes before our food was served have theirs before us.The food was worth the wait, although the temperature of the beans were on the cool side.Might be worth having swinging door put on the kitchen of the staff want to vent about customers requirements.

Just spent 2 nights here.. Great value for money, a nice spacious room with a fridge, off road parking was a bonus but the bed let it down, not very comfy I'm afraid. The breakfast was spot on though, really tasty.

Fantastic sized room. Lots of towels, very comfortable bed, fridge in the room, lots of tea and coffee options. Breakfast was fantastic, so much choice and they catered completely for my 4 year old that ordered something that wasn’t even on the menu. The owner (I think) is so welcoming and recognised us from a stay a long time ago and made a big fuss of my son on his birthday, very appreciated. Really made us feel at home and we will 100% be staying again.

Very quirky pub / hotel. Rooms were nice and breakfast was enjoyable. We spent most the night at a wedding so didn’t use the facilities much.

Great room great food pleasant staff

Loved our stay at the Royal Forester, the room was spacious, clean and comfortable, evening meal was good and breakfast was just fab, so tasty and plenty of it. It has a really welcoming feel about the place, and the staff were lovely. Amazing value for money aswell

One night stay. Live music on Sunday afternoon followed by a well organised pub quiz. Great family atmosphere and dog friendly.The kitchen closes at 5 on Sundays, which I wish we had known about, but the hotel suggested we ordered a takeaway, which we did and we enjoyed it in the outside seating area under shelter of the canopy.Bedroom was well decorated, roomy and comfortable. Good TV and fridge.Breakfast was amazing; a real treat. Lots of variety and options for meat, meat-free and continental.Will definitely stay here again if we're in the area.

Hotel family room booked night before taking grandson to the safari park. Was a large room with fabulous bathroom. Bed very comfortable. The black out blind behind the curtains was much appreciated. Breakfast was excellent. We plan to return sometime without the grandson in order to use the bar facility and dine from the evening meal menu.

Enjoyed our 2 night stay. Great food. Friendly staff. Was visiting family locally. Got drenched walking in the forest but that’s summer for you.

Wonderful place staff are 1st class xqnt do enough to accommodate u food and drink absolutely.delicious..

We had a great stay at The Royal Forester. The rooms, bar area, beer garden and restaurant were all really nice. The food in the restaurant was good and the breakfasts were especially good with plenty of choice. Kay makes an amazing avocado, poached eggs and bacon on toast! We will definitely be back ????

We loved our stay. Perfectly located, easy parking, wonderful welcome and incredibly friendly staff throughout right through to the LandLady who was so nice at breakfast next morning.Rooms were spotless and comfortable (and with fans which was great) and for the cost, I would never of found anything better - spot on!

Accommodation was very good and the Sunday lunch and breakfast were excellent. Staff were very attentive and helpful. Our only issue was the guest in the room next to us who had the television on very loudly till 2.00 in the morning. Perhaps guests could be advised that if they want to watch television in the early hours of the morning they turn the sound down or preferably off so as not to disturb other guests.

Picked Royal Forester at random but was certainly not disappointed. Excellent room, staff were extremely pleasant and helpful and food was very good. Would definitely return if in area.

Thank you very much Martin, we\'re glad that you enjoyed your stay

Really good stay Thanks to Joe and co for making us welcome. Special thanks to Kay, early start on a Sunday morning, breakfast was a pleasure. Xx

Everything I needed for my stay. Lovely room & facilities were great. Staff very helpful.

Helpful and friendly staff - Clean accommodation - Excellent standard and choice of food.Not a complaint but could help people who are shaky on feet (like myself) if a grab rail could be fitted over bath so as to assist accessing and using shower

Stayed here 3 times now and would definitely recommend

stay was very good ,breakfat excellent ,evening meal also ,one BIG problem ,the bed was nearly on the floor ,making it oh so difficult to get up ,I am 6ft so getting up of the bed which is oh so LOWIts ok for YOUNG folk but at a certain age noy so good ,My advice get beds with LEGS

Attentive staffClean bright roomNice breakfast

Thank you so much for our recent stay at the Royal Forrester. The staff couldn’t have been kinder. The rooms were so much fun, witty, clean, plenty of refreshments. The food was fabulous and plentiful. We can’t wait to return.

Arrived after long drive from North Yorkshire, great set up with outside dining area with massive flat screen TV for Wimbledon and Football, room was tidy with large comfy bed and wet room shower.Great breakfast by Lyn to start the day.Would recommend and I intend to stay again .

Booked the room for a spontaneous one night get away, the staff were really friendly and accomodating and the pub had a great chilled atmosphere.The room was clean, smart and had all we needed for the eveningIn the morning the vegan breakfast was awsome - 10 0ut of 10

A warm welcome and friendly staff; comfortable bedroom and dining area well spaced out. Ideally situated for a visit to the wonderful Wyre Forest.

The rooms were nice and clean, friendly staff, the food was very nice if a little limited on the evening menu. The whole stay was enjoyed by us all. My only complaint was on the morning we were due to leave, we hadn't even checked out, we went to check the 2 rooms we were in for any items my children May have left and the cleaners were already in the rooms. Personally I like to be checked out b4 this happens.However I would stay here again.

Friendly staff. Lovely rooms and the best breakfast ever . Would definitely stay again.

Staff really helpful, breakfasts brilliant. Liked the evening menu. Nice room, good to have Netflix.

Very comfortable accommodation . Could do with with refresh but very spacious . Good menu with tables both inside and out. Pizza Hut , fire basket . Great location. We stayed whilst visiting Shelsey Walsh. Beautiful part of the country. Thank and would recommend.

Rooms are slightly tired . But service and friendly staff made up for it

Our room was small but comfortable.The restaurant service was good and the food well presented and tasty.Breakfast was particularly good with a great selection to suit all tastes.Can certainly recommend this rural B&B.

Had a lovely overnight stay, relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff and fantastic food.

Lovely place, nice clean rooms, great breakfast and meals and super friendly staff. Would definitely recommend

Lovely stay thank you

Great place to stay for long awaited reunion with family. Outdide eating area was well planned and service to tables well thought out although busy as over Bank Holiday week and super weather The meals were excellent. Hotel rooms were nice and tastefully furnished and manager quick to respond to resolve any issues I would stay again

Large Clean room, friendly staff, lovely evening meal in a teepee with the fire blazing and a fantastic breakfast to fix the hangover. What else do you need in a one night stay

The accommodation was a friendly and good inn for couples and families with good supportive staff friendly staff in a good location for visiting the wye forest.

Fab service! Food was great! Very friendly!

Great food, staff exceptional, room spotless, had a lovely two night stay. Only slight issue was bit of noise from road.But it’s a pub on a busy road so , nothing they can do about that.

Great breakfast and nice room.

Fantastic hotel and great food.... And the staff was great especially morning breakfast she was lovely ??

Very nice helpful and friendly peopleRoom was very clean and a lovely breakfast great value

We were greeted at the door and everything was clearly explained about the Covid-19 procedures.The staff were incredibly friendly and the place itself was warm and welcoming.The room was fantastic with a very comfortable bed.The evening meal and breakfast were first class, genuinely far above expectations and incredible value for money.

Very nice room and breakfastPleasant staff and good value

Stylish large rooms - comfortable, clean and warm. Lovely deep bath and lots of hot water. Breakfast delicious, good coffee and friendly staff. Will stay again.

Stayed before in pre COVID times. Everything as good as before. All safety precautions in place lots of sanitisers around. Room (Pumpkin) was lovely & spacious as was the wet room complete with orange basin! Breakfast good as was the evening meal. Ideal location for walking and exploring the Wyre forest. Bewdley a short walk or drive away. Would recommend.

We arrived late 8pm.Our daughter's bed had not been put in our room. Staff were very apologetic and our daughter age 12 ended up with her own double room at no extra charge which she was delighted about.Evening meal and breakfast were fabulous.

Lovely stay. Lovely room. Nice food.

My only bad point was that the bed was a little low for me with my dodgy knees. But with some improvisation i managed to get out of it without too much difficulty.The room and en suite were just lovely. Nice powerful shower, (but soap dispensers were empty), great selection of drinks and biscuits in room.Breakfast was lovely. I asked ‘how do you make your porridge?’ ‘However you like it’ was the reply. So lovely bowl of porridge made just how i like it followed by 2 banana pancakes with blueberries and pecans and 2 flat white coffees. All included in the reasonable room price.Attentive friendly staff too.

We stayed at the hotel for a couple of days and can only say one thing about the time there - it was excellent. The staff were friendly and extremely helpful. We were late arriving due to a family emergency earlier in the day and the staff got us a meal despite our later than planned arrival and during the stay nothing was too much trouble for them. All the food we sampled was 1st class and locally sourced.Needless to say if we are in the area again and need somewhere to stay we will be back.

Friendly and helpful staff made this the perfect place to rest for the night after a busy day.The food was of excellent quality and great value for money.A spacious and comfortable room made it a very enjoyable trip.

The staff couldn't have been more helpful. Couple of small issues but sorted out with no fuss. Delicious food. Warm and welcome pub/restaurant. Nice decor in bedroom. Slightly smaller than expected but perfectly adequate for a weekend away. Would definitely stay again if we are in the area and would recommend to anyone looking for a good priced night away if you don't want to have to travel anywhere for food and drink.

Absolutely love the place the food was amazing the atmosphere was amazing the hosts are amazing and it turned out it had been a winner in Channel 4’s program Four in a bed.

I stayed at the Royal Forester for two nights and found it very comfortable. The room was spacious and the bathroom was clean and everything worked well. I was on a three day golfing break and therefore very much appreciated the good quality shower and deep, spacious bath with plenty of hot water. I didn't eat in except for breakfast, which was tasty and (a hobby horse of mine) hot when it arrived and stayed hot because it was served on a hot plate; excellent! A small detail which could be improved, but first impressions are important, is the decor of the stair area that links the reception downstairs to the bedrooms upstairs; this area could be made a little less utilitarian.

Our stay was very good, staff very friendly and accommodating. Food was very good quality and tasty. Rooms were value for money.We would and will be returning.

This country inn successfully combines the old with the new, downstairs retains the feel of an old coaching inn but the bedrooms are themed and have been tastefully re-decorated with a modern feel. The lamb and pork dishes on the evening menu were delicious, well presented and exceeded our expectations, breakfast from the extensive menu was also very good.We were made to feel welcome by all the staff. Location is ideal for exploring the Wyre Forest.

We enjoyed our stay, the only problem we had was road traffic noise from the Cherry Room I had to wear ear plugs other than that we can’t complain. Staff were helpful and polite on our last morning we couldn’t have a shower as there wasn’t any water throughout the building and other premises near by, without asking Maxine took a nights cost off our bill, which we thought was a generous offer.

Good food friendly staff and great location for dog walks

Happy with the room food and hospitality couldn’t have asked for more

We stayed four four nights in a superior room. The room was spacious and comfortableand the staff were welcoming and friendly. The meals we had were presented well and tasty,although since we stayed four nights we would have perhaps liked a bit more variety on the starter menu.

We had the gooseberry room, nicely decorated and themed. However, a single velux window made the room very hot and the fan from the kitchen was very noisy through the wall - though it was switched off when asked. Good breakfast, especially the avocado eggs, and evening meal. Covid managed well with all the precautions in place

Excellent stay nice friendly stay staff very attentive and helpful and willing to assistMeals good although very busy due to meal offer this did not effect service a lot of staff available to see to table service.Would stay again on next visit to the area

A weekend at the royal foresters was a great stay . Lovely staff nothing is too much for them . Rooms are great for weekend stay for a family of 4 all clean and tidy no problems at all . The breakfast is a 10/10 amazing food x thank u for a great stay .. already booked back to try the pizza shack with friends ..

Unfortunately we had to come home early on the departure date as both of us having food poison. I was off for a week My Partner was sent home from work on the Tuesday with sickness. The Royal Forester was the only place we ate over the weekend.

We stayed overnight with friends to visit family in the area. Lovely food, great service, lovely rooms and a very tasty breakfast.

when arrived greeted by a very nice chap. sorry don't now his name,served us with breakfast on sunday morning as well.I noticed you have lots of awards on the walls for food standards,however the bacon was crap well over done. Never mind had a lovely weekend. regards.3*

comfortable room, our dog was very welcome, breakfast was freshly cooked and very nice. staff were friendly and helpful. would definitely recommend and return.

Nice room staff very friendly good breakfast

Excellent accommodation with private parking... fantastic menu with very helpful staff... a choice of breakfasts.. Our group highly recommend this B&B and will definitelybe returning.. Thank you everyone at the The Royal Forester..

A very enjoyable stay, the food was very well presented and delicious.Staff were very accommodating.

Lovely room very comfortable bedFabulous breakfast. Would definitely stay again. Thankyou

I stayed for one night and was very happy with the service and stay. Very clean room, modern, lovely staff and great places to visit locally.

I was local for business. Food was perfect, the room was comfortable and clean. Looking forward to my next visit.

Relaxed stay, clean bedroom and bathroom, good food and efficient hosting.What more could you want?

Stayed overnight and all first class, the staff are always friendly and helpful, I use the establishment often

Down for a night with friends, great food, friendly staff and a lovely room, what more do you need!!

Stayed one night and was looked after brilliantly. Dinner was excellent especially the Steak which was the best I have had in years.Breakfast was perfect if a little too big for me.Will be back in the future.

We would like to thank Maxine and all the wonderful staff at the Foresters for looking after us and making us for feel so welcome for our girls Christmas night away. As always we enjoyed good food, great atmosphere and lovely comfortable rooms. The breakfast was the icing on the cake!Thank you! We'll be booking again next year..Merry Christmas!!

Excellent ,staff were very helpful ,food was amazing ,room was lovely,we had a great time

We visited for a night as visiting family in the area. Our stay was very comfortable.Lovelycosybar. Bedroom was lovelyand breakfast was excellent. Every one, was very friendly.

We were very happy with every aspect of our overnight stay, with our border collie.Friendly and welcoming staff, accommodation, comfort, evening meal and breakfast, were all great. Thank you.

The staff were very helpful and friendly, and the breakfast was fabulous-great range of options. One issue was that the website states breakfast is from 7 onward, though the lady on duty only arrived at 7 which meant the cooked breakfasts took a while, so as a result my daughter (who had to go to work) was quite stressed and had to rush her breakfast. I chose this B&B partly due to the breakfast timings shown, so it was disappointing that this happened. The rooms could have been a tad cleaner, though the bed was clean and comfortable.

Lovely big and comfortable room. Excellent food and very welcoming staff. If you are looking for a peaceful weekend, don’t book the aubergine room. It’s right above the bar area and very noisy. Apart from that, excellent stay

Nice room with good facilities, plus nice breakfast.

Very nice short stay, we were made very welcome from the minute we arrived. The staff were really helpful, our room was very clean with a particularly comfortable bed ensuring a good sleep.Great variety of choice for breakfast which was perfect.Would defiantly stay again.

Great place to stay, very friendly staff, good food and nice accommodation.Thank youGary

A warm welcome as we came through the door and excellent customer service throughout! The staff were very accommodating and helped with our baby. Service and food at breakfast were brilliant. Quality and range of cooked items was perfect.The room was comfortable and had plenty of room for our pop up cot. The bed was comfy and the mini fridge really helped out. Lovely hot shower.One area of improvement was the rooms could do with a little sprucing up. Shower pole hanging off wall was worried about pulling it off. Flickering halogen main lights and some hanging out of units. Ceiling where past leak needed a touch of paint.

We enjoyed the stay at The Royal Forester at 26th September 2018; comftable bed and good diner. Breakfast was very good especially the continental one !We will come definately again.

Shame the Forester is on a busy road, the room looked a bit tired, but everything worked ok.Hostess is very accommodating.Try the breakfast omelette made with duck eggs - its the best you will taste!

Very attentive staff, good food and comfortable room. Would definitely stay again.

A friendly and comfortable inn with delightful staff and good food and beer - highly recommended!

The stay was memorable for the warm welcome we received and the interesting atmosphere at the establishment. Each member of Staff that we encountered was friendly and keen to sort out any issues. We would very happily return to The Royal Forester.

A lovely hotel with friendly helpful staff. The décor was pleasant and the rooms clean. I personally had trouble with the uncomfortable pillows but the bed itself was comfortable. A bin near the tea making area would of also been useful (one was provided in the bathroom)Food was great, I had one of the best sandwiches I've ever tasted made at the hotel, overall a good stay.

Very good food. Our room was very hot and only had a small window, we had to ask for a fan. The fridge was much appreciated.

My husband and I recently spent 3 nights here and was made to feel extremely welcome by the owner Sean, all the staff and the local community. The food was amazing and always freshly cooked. Our room was clean and comfortable. There was a great atmosphere and would definitely recommend a stay here.

Thanks LorraineHope to see a lot more of you

Wow! What a gorgeous hotel. We were shown to our room as soon as we arrived and were pleased to see how spacious and clean the room was. The bathroom facilities were excellent with a powerful shower. Sean gave us a lift down the river for some food and drinks, picking us up again later. Breakfast in the morning was stunning. Sean and Maxine could not do more to welcome us. We would definitely stay here again.

Thanks ShaunaHope to see you again soon

Very enjoyable, nice room and food

Cheers!

First class service and friendly atmosphere

Thank you to the RoyalForresters for a great stay on the night of our sons wedding. Your staff were exceptional and couldn’t do enough for us. We’d had a fabulous day and it continued late into the night at the Forresters. Both families all met for breakfast the following morning which was again superb. Thanks x

Rooms clean, food good. Friendly staff. Would stay again.

Had a fantastic stay staff were so friendly and nothing was too much trouble great location. The hotal was first class and our room was very comfortable. Would recommend eating had a fantastic meal😊

My party of six adults stayed here for just one night. We found the place welcoming with an old world charm along with modern amenities. The food was good with both dinner in the evening and breakfast next morning where very good. I would recommend this Inn and would certainly stay here again.

We only stayed here for one night but couldn't fault it.We stayed in the spotlessly clean aubergine room, unusualdecor but loved it. The evening meal and breakfast were delicious with fresh, locally sourced ingredients.Callum, a charming trainee, prepared the lovely banana pancakes for breakfast.We also chatted to some of the locals in the bar in the evening.A very friendly, welcomingplace to stay and we would recommend and return.

Comfortable rooms and nice location. Staff were friendly and helpful and facilities in room, including TV, were excellent. Breakfast was nice and bearing in mind we were a cycling group they met additional needs such as a packed breakfast rather than something at the table in their restaurant.Storage for bikes could have been a little more 'professionally' presented but was just about adequate.

Lovely hotel.nice owners. Good food. Slight niggles over noisy kids in restaurant at 9pm! Also bath needs grab handle to be fitted on wallowner provided armchair when asked for. Overall very enjoyable stay. Location is such that car is essential

Fab place, lovely room, super manager who could not do enough to make our stay as good as possible.Only slight issue was the staff on the restaurant floor were a little flustered with the numbers of people sitting down but overall it was a great experience and highly recommended.

This is the second time I have stayed at the Forester Inn I cant fault it very welcoming friendly staff good food

On arrival we were welcome warmly and showed too our room. (Call the pumpkin) We only dropped our bags off as we had to return to the wedding. On our return late evening it was easy getting back in.The room was clean and well presented. Breakfast was fantastic cooked to perfection with good fresh ingredients. We would stay again if the occasion arises again.

We, a group of 6, spend three nights at the Royal Foresters, and we very please with both the accommodation and the evening meals.we did get some outside noise one night but do not think it was related to the hotel itself.

Room very nice lovley bathFood excellentAlround good value and friendlystaff

Comfortable room, and a very welcoming team

Great stay in colourful, clean and comfortable room. Staff were very attentive and check in/out was an easy process. Tasty breakfast was served quickly with perfect coffee.

Just been to the Foresters again having visited many times before. Sean and the team couldn't be more welcoming or helpful. Superb food and drink as always - in addition the rooms are always immaculately presented and clean.Already looking forward to our next visit!

Very comfortable room. Good nights sleep, clean and stylish accommodation.Excellent breakfast, very pleasant welcoming staff. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Not really at my best on the day. The stay was good and the staff were very friendly. Would definitely stay again

Great place to stay. The room was large , clean , comfy and had everything needed for a short stay.The staff were so friendly and efficient. Thanks everyone for a great time.

Lovely welcome, smart room and a good nights sleep.

We have enjoyed a really lovely overnight stay at The Royal Forester - A warm welcome, friendly, efficient and organised staff, delicious breakfast and Sunday lunch, lovely rooms - thank you!

we had two double roomsand one single(with two children in one double room). Excellent service from the moment we arrivedeven though the place was extremely busy with lunches .The whole ambience was welcomingand the staff all were friendly and helpful,- we will def. stay againthanks .Cynan

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, ask Paul Morris about his choice of wine and the cooked breakfast was excellent. Will definitely stay again

Excellent, friendly and always a great atmosphere

Travelled on business.Food was excellent and staff really friendly and helpful.

A superb visit. I received a warm welcome and excellent and friendly service throughout my stay. There was a very good Dinner menu and the food was well prepared and served by friendly staff in a pleasant restaurant. I slept soundly in a well appointed and comfortable room. In the morning I was served a hearty breakfast by most friendly staff. Finally, the innwas conveniently situated for my visit to the incomparable Wyre Forest, which is close by.

Everybody very friendly love place to come and celebrate our engagement 😀 rooms very clean food very nice to hope to be back soon thanks Andy and Helen

Perfect for the parkrun, perfect for gorgeous food, perfect fro the little dog..... perfeect red wine!! perfect accommodation!

Make no mistake this is a pub so don't expect hotel trimmings, however the atmosphere is great & the food delicious, Some things in the room and surroundings are a bit tired & the stay isn't cheap & probably a bit overpriced, all in all a good stay

From the time we arrived to the time we left we enjoyed every second. Staff and regulars were all warm and welcoming. The room was fabulous. The breakfast even better. First class from start to finish

A lovely 2 night break in North Worcestershire.We knew it was a true country inn as when we arrived the car park was full of 4x4's and gun dogs and several brace of pheasants were hanging on the garden fence. The owner, Sean, was busy serving in the bar but welcomed us warmly,showing us to our room (the pumpkin room) which was comfortable with a huge bed. Two minor points were the musical plumbing and dim bedside lights. Breakfast was excellent, with plenty of choice. We had dinner on one night,fixed price menu with good choice changed daily and good value.A good base for touring the area, lovely countryside.Well done and thank you!

Just had eight nights at the Royal Foresters. The room was of very good proportions and well fitted with all mod cons.A very good Breakfast individually cooked from a varied menu.All the staff keen to help and very friendly.We had an exceedingly good stay.Many thanks to all concerned.A five-star establishment.

Really friendly staff, clean up to date rooms, amazing food, nice area. Just an all round quality place that is very well priced for what you get.

Had a comfortable stay with a very good breakfast.

Ideal for what was a short break. Somewhat quirky ambiance was pleasing. Excellent service.Friendly staff.Good food.Good location.

Lovely little hotel & pub. Food was excellent, though had a bit of a wat for breakfast due to a mix up with our order.Rooms are decent size & have all you need.Staff were friendly & happy to help.Would return again.

Another great stay at the Foresters - I must have been there 15 times now and the service, food, drink and general hospitality are second to none.

Quaint country retreat.Lovely old country pub excellent food,nice friendly staff.Close to Bewdley Safari park.

really friendly ,helpful staff, great room beds were comfy had a good night's sleep. Breakfast was yummy .loved the decor, would definately stay there again

Quaint country pub excellent food.Room comfortable friendly staff.Close to Bewdley Safari Park.

We had a wonderful time staying at this hotel. The staff were so helpful, polite and happy. Nothing was too much trouble at all. We were upgraded with our room and it was beautifully decorated and extremely clean. Theroom was a fab size for the 3 of us. The bathroom was very clean with all of the necessities.We ate at the hotel on both nights. Would recommend the steak night if staying on a Thursday. Breakfast was delicious and so much choice. All in all food was scrumptious.We really enjoyed our stay at the Royal Forester and hope to go back again in the Autumn.

We had a really lovely 3 night break at the Forester.My husband had been given a gift of lunch on the Severn Valley Railway close by and this hotel was recommended.Our room was clean, bright and spacious, with an great shower another was fresh coffee and biscuits in our room. The owners and staff are friendly but not intrusive and the food is excellent. The breakfasts live up to their AA rosette award.

Lovely hotel, nice clean comfortable rooms with a goodbreakfast.We also had an evening meal which was delicious, and the staff were helpful and friendly.

room very spacious and comfortable.just two small points, push plug in bathroom sink not effective, water leaking out - think a new washer needed, and, if the plan on the bedroom door is the evacuation plan in case of fire, should it be upside down?Evg meals were very good and all staff very friendly.Outside main door not a good look with empty beer barrels on show.

First stay, a great experience. The room is comfortable and includes everything needed. The food at breakfast and at dinner was interesting and delicious, good variety. The duck at dinner is fabulous. Quality of drinks and wines also impressive.Most important of all is the attitude of the team in any pub, restaurant or inn. Everyone was very gracious and welcoming, worked well as a team. Would I recommend to stay, eat or drink here? Absolutely. Will return. You should try it too.

Staff were welcoming, stayed in the cherry room bed was very comfy, breakfast lovely too, we thought hotel bar was rather expensive this being our only gripe .... would definitely go for a return visit though 👍

WE stayed here when attending a family Golden Wedding celebration and were delighted with the service offered by all the staff. In particular we were grateful that we were able to book into our room several hours before their usual 2pm time as we were faced with an early departure from nearby Upton due to a burst watern main despite their having received similar requests from guests attending a weddding.

Very comfortable - good shower, great breakfast.Thank you

I had a one night stay in May. The food was good, the choice of beer limited.The room was great, but a shelf urgently required in the bathroom.Overall very good.

Bed amazingly comfortable,

The bedroom was good. Safety instructions upside down on the back of the bedroom door!The new extension outside needs finishing off, in particular the stepping out and also the side door.

Lovely staff and excellent food. Good location for visiting POI.

The room was spotlessly clean, comfortable and nicely themed.The staff were very friendly and the service was excellent.

Was looking for somewhere on the way back north from Worcester for a one night stay...having stayed the one night we wished we could have stayed longer! A warm welcome (& log burner!) a fabulous evening meal, a comfortable bed in a stylishly decorated room followed by the best full English we’ve had for a long time and our two little dogs were made welcome too! Who could ask for more? Will remember this inn and sincerely hope to return one day!

Brief stay to attend a local party.Room was comfortable and well kept.Breakfast was tasty.Staff were friendly.

Stayed one night whilst sightseeing in the Worcestershire area. Stay very comfortable with friendly staff and excellent breakfast.

i stayed with Sean and his team.following a day on a local shoot. I had met up with friends for a meal in the evening and the food was fantastic. A lovely country pub with super accommodation and attentive staff. A cracking breakfast followed the next morning. All I can say is I will definitely be back. Thanks to all the staff for a very warm welcome.

Enjoyed a lovely weekend with friends here, staying in the Plum and Blueberry rooms, we were warm and comfortable on a very chilly weekend. The food in the restaurant was scrumptious, the variety of gins and real ale great and the live bands in the new Tipi provided the entertainment. The staff and locals were helpful. Highly recommended.

Lovely, friendly hotel. Good food, great accommodation. Over the road to the Wyre Forest. Very dog friendly. Thank you.

Excellent accommodation. V good breakfast. Friendly staff

Nice staff, very nice atmosphere and great food.

Large, clean and comfortable room. Good hot shower. Tasty food.

Stayed here for one night. Friendly welcome, comfortable room. Steak night in the restaurant - excellent food and good value. Lovely breakfast cooked to order. Highly recommended

When things do not get off on the right foot, for whatever reason, it can be justifiable cause for upset or aggravation, also potentially exagerrating any other small issues. This happened tous. The various young staff are delightful, but the operation centres on the owner Sean, who once he was aware of the issues we had, went out of his way to make amend, which he did excellently, with a smile. As a result our stay was a happy and successful one. The restaurant offers good food, with both an A La Carte and different daily Table D'Hote. Good and varied breakfast, cooked to order. Would we go back again? Yes

Our stay at The Royal Forester was very much as the website led us to expect although the room was smaller than the wide angle photos suggested. Everything was clean and tidy and in excellent condition. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom perfect with lashings of hot water. We had some problems with the TV but this really didn't matter. If we had one criticism it was the late start for breakfast at the weekends. As early risers (usually 6.30 to 7am), it was a long wait for breakfast to start at 9am. The breakfast itself was delicious. Staff helpful and friendly, atmosphere good and despite the rooms over the public bar, very quiet and peaceful. We would thoroughly recommend The Royal Forester.

Clean room, lovely english breakfast, staff friendly and helpful, we will most definitely be staying again when we visit Bewdley next summer

Clean room, lovely english breakfast, staff friendly and helpful, we will most definitely be staying again when we visit Bewdley next summer

Great food and staff. Lovely atmosphere.

The hotel was very nice but it was noisy outside being so close to the road.Dinner and breakfast was excellent - 10/10 fantastic

Four of us stayed for two days over a wedding weekend. We found the staff very friendly and helpful. They were willing to serve us a sandwich when we did not want the full evening menu and even allowed our daughter (the bride) who was camping nearby (the night before her wedding!!) to get changed and use the shower in our room before the ceremony. |Many thanks for your kindness.

It was very good. an excellent welcome and staff all through. Good food and wine Slight problem with the futon style bed slays collapsing.

We enjoyed our stay and area and have rebooked to bring a couple of friends in August.

Very pleasant welcome, shown to room which was very clean and spacious (stayed in the cherry room). Was a lack of biscuits for 2 (only 1 and I wasn't sharing). Relaxed atmosphere in the pub downstairs of which the food was good. The shower was powerful but seemed to flood the bathroom so had to use the majority of towels to mop up. Breakfast was really tasty (initially told there were no sausages as they had forgotten to defrost). My only complaints were the breakfast took a really long time to appear once ordered and the noise from the traffic early in the morning was a bit of a shock wake up call. All in all staff were pleasant as was the room.

We stayed here for one night. Nice rooms and was very clean upon arrival. Food was very good in the evening and also cooked breakfast in the morning was very good. Staff are very friendly and most important nice coffee.

Very good hotel , food excellent,staff very friendly,

Lovely place to stay, friendly staff, good food clean rooms.

Great place to stay for local points of interest - Severn Valley Railway, Bewdley, Ironbridge etc

Comfortable stay and friendly staff. Food really fabulous.Would have liked better shaving and makeup lighting in the room - also a chair!If we stay in the area again we will certainly return.

Friendly and helpful. Room ok. Breakfast ok. Evening meal fine.

We stayed here for 4 nights and from the moment we arrived we felt at home and very welcomed. The staff, which were predominantly younger people, were very friendly, helpfuland gave excellent customer service. Sean, the owner, was usually on hand to overseee and was hands on in the bar and kitchen. Rooms were always clean and generally well maintained with quirky colour schemes. Meals were plentiful and the quality was very high, with a daily change on the a la carte menu to keep it fresh. No complaints at all and felt it was a lovely place to have stayed for or short break.

Stayed one night wished we had made it our base for the week instead of hotel hopping.Great welcome stayed in the Pumpkin room great room & amenities.We ate in the restaurant & had very excellent meal from the days a la cart menu.Breakfast was just as good also. We would defiantly stay here again next time were in the area.Mark & Alison

This is our second stay here and it won't be our last. Every room is individually decorated and this time we stayed in the Pumpkin room which had an amazing walk-in shower. The food is excellent and home-cooked. The only disappointment was although in their book it had kippers and salmon on the breakfast menu but when we went down for breakfast we were given another menu which didn't supply these. This meant I had to have a full English, which was excellent although not what I really wanted.

This was our 8th stay at the Foresters and as usual we were brilliantly entertained and looked after. Sean and his staff provide both comfortable, clean rooms, great food and drink and exceptional customer service. There is really nothing that is too much trouble for them. We are very much looking forward to returning next year. Thanks again!

Really unique eating and drinking experience...

Comfortable clean room, nicely equipped bathroom with a lovely hot shower.Breakfast was freshly cooked and hot although we felt the buffet table could have been improved.No yoghurt, very little fresh fruit, only one flavour of juice and no croissants or pastries.Toast arrived on the breakfast plate not in a rack and the bread was the sort that just just crumbles and disappears when you eat it.Overall a Nice stay, but seven out of ten for breakfast.

Eight of us stayed at the Foresters due to its close proximity to the wedding ! But it was fabulous very impressed with rooms! Staff service and breakfast !! Plus my daughter The Bride had left a phone charger and a nightie ! Rang them as we only live in Kidderminster and they said don't come until tomorrow because we've sent the nightie to be washed !! How good service is that ??? Would highly recommend !

Extremely good food and service in a delightfully quirky dining room. Excellent staff.

Nothing was too much trouble for the owners of the Royal Forester throughout our stay. Taxi service within a 5 mile radius, excellent restaurant, friendly personal service. A wonderful weekend. Thank you to all the staff.

in one word - perfection!from the moment we arrived to the moment we left nothing was too much trouble.the landlady is wonderful - even offering us a lift into town when the bus didn't arrive. room was lovely, clean, fresh and comfortable - home from home.the food is amazing too! wonderful fresh produce and again nothing too much trouble.I wouldn't change a thing and will certainly be going back.

A very pleasant night's stay in a well-fitted room with large comfortable bed, and an excellent dinner - the grey mullet was just superb. The staff were friendly and helpful, the whole experience enhanced by the modest charges.A small point (an observation rather than criticism): our room was unusual in that the only window was a semi-skylight, giving a slightly claustrophobic impression and which might be inadvisable to open if raining. However, given it's an old building I suppose it's all part of the ambience!Thank you again for a most pleasant stay, I would award 4 1/2 stars if it could be done.

Excellent hotel been more times than we can remember made to geel welcome would recomend to family and friends

I stayed here with my dog for one night. Great welcome, lovely, friendly and helpful staff. The room was really comfortable with lots of nice little touches. I ate a really delicious meal in the very comfortable bar area. I had my dog with me who also enjoyed her stay! Thank you.

The owner was very nice and helpful.The pub is nice and the restaurant too.The rooms are lovely.

Having previously visited the Royal Forester it was a pleasure to return to this welcoming inn. Customer service, attention to detail, room cleanliness and food were all first class. This is my first choice for accommodation whenever I find myself visiting the Wyre Forest area for business or pleasure.

Meant to stay here 6 months ago but had to cancel, so glad we got to stay eventually.A warm welcome frome Maxine and staff.Room was spotless, spotless and comfortable with the best shower and bath we've experienced for a long time. Lounge bar and restaurant cosy and friendly; evening meal was outstanding value and well presented....pork steak was to die for. There was a local power cut that evening for an hour..but the staff didnt bat an eyelid; out came the candles and the kitchen still prepared exeptional meals!Breakfast was again excellent and of good quality.Best of all..Percy the dog was made welcome!!Highly recommend....won't leave it 6 months to stay again.

We stayed here last year because would couldn't get in our usual accommodation in bewdley town centre. We loved it so much we will stay here every time we are in the area. Great atmosphere. Lovely welcoming staff and great food.What more could you ask for.

Very nice place good rooms and very nice food and the staff are very friendly well worth a vist

A hidden gem is all I can say, lovely room and a peaceful place to stay, the owner is very helpful and the coffee in the pub is lovely. I never got the chance to eat in the pub but from friends that have eaten in the restaurant it's very good.

Why wife and I stayed here for thre night to celebrate my birthday and we were not disappointed.The owners were extremely helpful,and friendly, the rooms clean, comfortable and relatively spacious.Bathroom excellent.We dined in the resteraunt each evening and were never disappointed, the food was excellent with a very good wine selection. Overall, great value for money and we would have no reservations in bookin agin.

I was made to feel very welcome, the room was very comfortable and dinner in the restaurant delicious ( I had a very nice steak)also there was a great choice of cereals, fruit etc for my (not cooked) breakfast.

Comfortable, characterful, friendly, great for our requirements.

We really enjoyed our stay, the staff could not have been more helpful.The food was lovely and service excellent.I highly recommend this hotel.

A really lovely stay at the Royal Forrester for new year, comfy bed, lovely staff, especially Joe behind the bar his customer service was fantastic. Wonderful food and the band were excellent.

Travelled from Norfolk so my wife could go to a party in Kidderminster. Stayed the night on my own.Staff were very attentive and looked after me very well at dinner while Christmas parties were going on around me.Food at dinner and breakfast was very good.Also enjoyed the band in the evening and the fine real ales.Room was nice and very quiet, didn't even hear the revellers leave.All in all a very pleasant stay.

Very helpful staff, first class quality food, plus well appointed rooms in a lovely rural setting; all add up to a highly recommended review.

The staff were extremely helpful, we will definitely stay again!

Quiet, friendly, excellent meal, helpful chef and service.

We stayed on Friday and Saturday night for a birthday weekend treat.We had lunch on Friday - sandwiches were great.We also ate at the Hotel both nights, the food was amazing, and the service impeccable.We had stayed here previously for one night approx. 7 years ago and the standard was still fantastic.Thoroughly recommend for residential and for the food and menu choices - we will be back soon

Comfortable room but some lack of attention to detail. Interesting dining menu. Friendly and attentive host. Good value.

4 of us stayed and were so grateful for the taxi service. Comfortable and an excellent choice of freshly cooked breakfasts.

Foresters is the best hotel we have stayed staff welcoming ad polite and helpful room large and comfortable

Dog friendly was the first thing that caught our eye, but we were very impressed by the room, the food and the atmosphere when we got there. Would definitely stay there again, thanks Sean for all your help.

Great staff, good food, excellent room

Thank you for making us very welcome at your lovely Inn.We especially enjoyed the food, including a delicious breakfast which set us up for the day.

I had a great stay at the Royal Forester and would highly recommend the place The Owner Shaun and its staff were most accommodating and went beyond the call off duty looking forward to my next visit soon Rajan Naicker South Africa

We had a lovely stay here, the room was really comfortable with lots of nice extra touches. All sorts of teas and coffees, water, biscuits and even some little sweets.The staff were very friendly and the breakfast was delicious.I have no negative comments, I would highly recommend this place

We stayed here (with our dog) for two nights. Lovely room, beautiful food and really welcoming staff.Very dog friendly. The perfect place for a relaxing time.

Pleasant and helpful staff. Restaurant food was very good.Our room was rather noisy with a constant stream of traffic even early on Sunday morning. The bed and room was comfortable and clean. The bathroom was modern the only problem was the shower which didn't provide constant hot water even though it was electric

We were at the hotel for a family wedding this weekend and the rooms and service were great! Really helpful staff on the morning of the wedding and a great breakfast too!Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We had a great night when staying last weekend. Accommodation and service second to none.

Thankyou for a lovely relaxing overnight stay.Good restaurant food in the evening and an ENORMOUS breakfast in the morning!!Good value for money.Would return to stay again next time we are in the area .

Sirs,Just as my stay 10 days prior, the service is good the team are helpfull and do the their best to accomodate one's personal requirements. The food is good and I am sure anyone trying it will come back again. I will be back again in a few weeks.

Royal Forester provides good food, staff and management very obliging, bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. I have stayed here at least once a year for the last 3 years and are staying this year on three separate occasions. It is also good value.

We visited on the weekend of the 16/17 April 2016 for our 20th Wedding Anniversary - the food was fantastic - so we had diner both nights, breakfast was great too, most of all the staff were excellent, nothing was a problem, we were made to feel very special. Thank you to Maxine and her team, very well done. Bill and Liz.

Wonderful stay at The Royal Forest, lovely people and lovely food highly recommend

I stayed at the foresters after attending a function there. Very genial hosts , and the catering was sublime. Hotel room was modern and spacious and the breakfast in the morning was delightful. Highly recommend

very comfortable bed! Good breakfast and friendly staff. We had dinner and that was good, too

We had an excellent stay during our one night . We will be back as one night was not enough !The Staff were great and very attentive .We had dinner in the restaurant which we give a rating of 10/10 plus the breakfast 10/10 . Room was very clean and decorated very well . The bed was very comfortable . Well done to the owners you should be very proud !All the best .. Mick & Tina ... We will be back !

4 of us stayed recently when we travelled over from Ireland for the races in Cheltenham. Everything about the Royal Forester was top class. Great hosts. Great rooms. Great food. Less than an hour from Cheltenham and about an hour from Birmingham. Ticks all the boxes.

Having thoroughly enjoyed ourselves last New Year, we returned to the same friendly welcome this New Year. Everyone, staff and guests, made a fuss of our dog: much appreciated! The room was comfortable and the food was very tasty. Probably a 'hat-trick' next New Year!

Had short Sat night as attending friends suprise party locally.Nice friendly welcome and free upgradeVery cosy room nicely decoratedSpecial thanks to Dan for dropping us off at the venue and arranging taxi to pick us upExcellent nights sleep in large comfy bedVery tasty full English breakfastWould stay again and recomend

Wonderful place for a night's stay. Outstanding food and a very warm welcome

Most enjoyable stay will Deffo stay again Maxine the owner and her husband Shaun are a lovely couple nothing to much trouble and all the staff very polite and an added bonus was we could bring our little dog Tasha thanks a lot from Beryl and Alan Boote hope to see you soon x

Loved the place- a small inn renovated stylishly with friendly staff. The rooms are well equipped for an old building and a delightful casual dining room. They take food seriously and the breakfast is a casual and very friendly affair where nothing is too much trouble - finally found a place serving kippers!

Regular Yuletide stay : as ever excellent service, lovely room and super breakfast - a personal touch in a great setting- many thanks

Really friendly staff enjoyed the stay would stay again.

We only stayed the one night but it was lovely.Room was as pictured on the website. Clean & tidy.Staff were very welcoming, friendly and polite.On our list to revisit in 2016.

Our second stay at the Royal Forester and once again a fantastic stay. The room was great and the evening meal was lovely.Will 100% be returning again.

The actual staff are excellent but communication by email unusually poor and disappointing, but nobody can be 100% and perfect, our stay was first class xx

Booked superior room which was lovely and very comfortableOnly slight gripe ! Remote on tv didnt workBreakfast was nice and tasty but had to ask for fruit juice glass and no toast offeredWe are booked to come back in January and would recomend

We stayed one night and the welcome was warm, the room clean and the staff were very helpful. I would stay there again

Absolute fantastic rooms are so comfortable food great.

Lovely stop over on a very wintery Sunday in November - from the moment we arrived we had such a warm and welcoming reception from Liander and colleagues.Delicious supper, great night's sleep and equally delicious breakfast and on our way but we'll return and thank you very much indeed

one of the best pub we have stayed in for a long time would have no problem staying they have some great weekend stays on offer

a super night at the foresters, the staff were very attentive and helpful. The room was very clean and tidy and the full english set me up for the day

Excellent service ad good staff will definately visit again

The staff here were brilliant, so friendly and helpful.We had a nice stay, two lovely evening means and two equally good breakfasts.The accommodation was fine, needs a bit of tlc in places.We had a couple of small issues that was promptly addressed.I would not hesitate In recommending this hotel and would definitely stay again.

From the moment of arrival to the moment of checking out the following morning nothing but exceptional service👍🏻. Top notch accommodation and excellent food. Certainly will be returning. Thank you!

The staff are very friendly,Food is excellent you must eat hereRooms clean better than more expensive hotelsThat I have usedwe had the smallest double room.But that did not spoil our stay. It did not seem smallCompaird to other hotels rooms that I have used

The room was very clean, attractive and comfortable. The staff were very friendly the location was ideal for us though traffic noise was occasionally intrusive with the open window to get sufficient ventilation into the room.

Great pub comfy nights sleep friendly staff good breakfast

good service, good food, good value and very nice people.

Stayed 1 night at the Forester 13/8/15. Very hospitable place - super food, nice outside space, comfy bed and great location for local attractions. Would certainly recommend to friends and family.

Recent stay was a pleasure... host was attentive with nothing to much trouble.Rooms comfortable, clean & well equiped with what you need.The food is fabulous with a good value menu. Glad we choose to stay here as they provided a relaxed & friendly environment.It is near a main road so do expect a little traffic noise...it did not affect our stay and we are looking forward to going back next year!

Had a fab time, food was awesome, room was top class and food was excellent, would use again definitely

Made booking for an overseas client who was very impressed with everything at the Royal Foresters and would be very happy to stay there again..

Very clean, arrived just as the restaurant was taking last orders at 9.30 but they still offered a fully menu which was excellent. Team was very pleasant and could not do enough for us during our stay.

A very nice country Inn and restaurant.Our only criticism was the room had no chairs,no wardrobe and not even a coat hanger.As a travelling elderly couple,it is always nice to have an easy chair in ones room.This was rectified by an obliging member of staff.

My wife and I stayed here on our wedding night and were impressed with how comfortable and tastefully decorated the room was. Some of our guests stayed at the hotel with us and all of the rooms are uniquely decorated with their own colour theme and the guests were very pleased with them.We were also impressed with the service we received. I had not had a chance to check us in in the morning, but we sent word to the hotel that we would be getting back a little after midnight and they ensured that someone was there to greet us and lead us to our room.The breakfast was of very good quality & tasty and on another occasion we had the carve your own beef joint on a Sunday and it was the best beef we have ever had with all of the trimmings.Overall, we were very pleased with the whole experience and plan on revisiting the Royal Forester on our anniversary next year.

We found the staff really helpful and friendly and the rooms clean and comfortable.The evening meal was excellent as was the breakfast.The hotel is well situated close to Bewdley and surrounding area.

The royal forester is a lovely place to stay, the staff are all very welcoming and the place itself is great, the rooms are comfy and the food is fantastic, will definitely be back! Thank you for making our weekend break one to remember

We close the Royal Forester To celebrate my wifes both birthday and we were not dissappointed.The staff are all helpful and always have a kind word to say and are constantly attentive.The rooms are bright and cheerful and decorated to a high level with all the facilities you would need.It is also well positioned for all that the Severn Valley has to offer. We spent a full day exploring the Severn Vally Railway from Bewdley to Northbridge with the added bonus of a touring visit from the Orient Express on a run up from it's London base which gave is a unique opportunity to see the Pullman coaches and the Golden Arrow that pulled them.It was a weekend to remember! Brilliant

good food, pleasant and efficient staff and comfortable bedroom. also reasonable prices so we enjoyed our 3 night break.

Lovely room,comfortable stay, friendly staff and good food.

Very good, evening meal excellent

Very friendly.Great food.I guess we were a bit unfortunate that we chose the last Friday of the month for the first of our 2 night stay because that night is a music night.Music was fine but a few (and it only takes a few) customers made a lot of noise while waiting for taxis.The Saturday night was fine.We chose this inn because they love dogs.The Wyre Forest is about half a mile away.Fabulous walks for the dog.We would certainly stay at the Royal Forester again

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the staff were very polite and helpful, the restraunt food was excellent and a different menu evey day. The breakfast was tastey and filling.I would reccomend to anyone who is looking for a b&b with a difference to give the royal forester consideration.

We love it here! I've stayed 3 times now, always a warm welcome, comfortable room and excellent food :-) just right for a romantic night away.

stay on business or leisure ,the accommodation ,service and ale and food iswonderful .... brekkie is the best out there

We found the staff friendly and helpful. The bed was very comfortable and the breakfast excellent

A very comfortable stay and made welcome. Full English was great. I had my dog Archie with me which was also good to be able to travel with your dog. I will return.

What can I say but what a lovely place to stay, staff were extremely welocoming and helpful and the host was such a lovely lady and very helful. the room (the cherry room)was very nice and spacious with a very nice bathroom, very comfy bed, the room overlooked the main road but hardly heard any traffic, a great nights sleep.the cooked breakfast was lovely and hot and not at all greasy, it sorted us out for our long journey home to wales. We would certainly recommend a stay here if you are in the area. Thanks again for looking after us..

Warm, efficient welcome and check in. Immaculate modern room and comfortable bed.Friendly, prompt bar service.Homely atmosphere and relaxing views outdoors.Enjoyable breakfast.Really enjoyed our stay, thank you!

Stayed one night, lovely room, good breakfast, friendly staff, would stay again.

We are locals living 10 minutes away, but needed a short break. We were not disappointed! Terrific service, excellent room (Cherry) with a fantastic bed, excellent food, all in a relaxed atmosphere with none of the 'over-the-top-ness' found in many places. What is especially appealing is the fact that it is a family concern and not part of some unforgiving conglomorate. We heartily recommend Sean and Maxine's Royal Forester. We'll be back!!

The accommodation was very adequate, for what we paid I would say excellent value, but the cuisine and food in the restaurant was exceptional, very exceptional indeed, the Dining experience was very good and pleasant and we will recommend to all and everyone, we shall return as often as we can and for us the Royal Foresters is a gem of a find , we have already posted our views on FaceBook while we were residents using the WiFi provided , yes highly recommended xx

Me and my partner stayed here Valentines Weekend, and the setting was perfect! We was welcomed by very polite staff. The room was very clean and tidy. Although we didn't dine in the restaurant for the evening we did have a drink at the bar and the atmosphere was lovely! We would definitely come back again! Thank you for a wonderful stay x

Once again I have been very well looked after for a week at the Royal Forester.The staff are always friendly, helpful and will accommodate your needs.I had a lovey big warmand very clean room with a massive walk-in shower.Great food and friendly banter with the staff.Once again, thank you for a very enjoyable week.

We had such a lovely stay at the Foresters.Wonderful hospitality, food and staff.Our room was lovely and to be honest I couldn't fault it . Will definitely be returning.Maxine is a wonderful hostess.

Great location and lots of attractions near buy. Helpful, efficient, friendly staff. Great menu and service and good quality food. All areas well presented and clean. Rooms good size and well presented. Good value for money. An all round great 2 days stay.

Our second stay here and the staff were as friendly and helpful as the first time. The food was delicious, the rooms are comfortable and very well kept, and the atmosphere was spot on. 10/10 will be back next year.

as ever excellent service / accommodation

I travel around fairly often and what you get at The Royal Forresters is really quite different.Nothing is too much trouble and the staff are always happy to help.Great food, great beer and all round lovely place to spend time.Thank you.

We were warmly welcomed to the hotel when we arrived, assisted with our bags to the colourful and comfortable bedroom, and told to ask for anything we needed. We were provided with a cup of tea, but did not use the restaurant. However, the menu looked interesting. Following a good nights sleep in a comfortable bed we enjoyed a good cooked breakfast. We would certainly use the hotel on another occasion.

Good clean and friendly inn. The description is spot on. Both Landlord and other guests were welcoming. Texting/online users should beware of the mobile phone hammer!

Friendly, comfortable, good breakfast.Thank you :-)

We were locking for a nice relaxing break and the royal forester fit the bill.The staff were welcoming friendly and helpful.It was a beautiful tranquil place to stay with fabulous hospitality.Our room was beautiful and very comfortable.We ate in the restaurant and the food was stunning.Thank you for a perfect stay

Lovely hotel great hosts , rooms great , nice atmosphere , Thx .

Welcoming and comfortable with minimum fuss and relaxed friendliness. Breakfasts and suppers of high quality.

The room itself was really nicely decorated, lovely bathroom, clean and with a great bed! Loved the blackout blind in addition to the curtains and the linen and towels were a really good quality. Loved the overall feel of the pub and accommodation areas.

My wife and i spent two nights at the Royal Forester in a superior room. The room was comfortable and clean with modern sanitary units. The bar/dining area was furnished in a mixture of old and new which I found quite fascinating.Also to my taste guest ales were available and the food was good. On our second evening it was Hungarian themed and good it was too. All in all Sean and his teammade our break most pleasant and comfortable.

Excellent service rooms and food very good.would not hesitate to return

Very relaxed friendly atmosphere. Great food. Clean and comfy room- good pillows and amazing bath! Would definitely stay again

Having just spent a wonderful evening here I can with great pleasure say The Royal Forester is an excellent country inn. The room was impeccably clean and simply, yet very stylishly decorated to fit a colour related theme. The bathroom was very impressive with a large bath and very pleasant shower. The bed was very comfortable ; my girlfriend and I had an excellent nights sleep after a great dinner at the restaurant. The food is excellent here and I would implore guests to try eating here. The food was delicious, presented well and perfectly cooked. The wine list was very impressive, with items to suit all tastes. Additionally, I found the whole experience to be good value. The room for the night (including breakfast) was £86. Excellent value for a charming country hotel, with a unique style and outstanding food. I would not hesitate to recommend.

Excellent service, very comfortable and well appointed rooms.Food was super and an extensive range of quality wines available. Staff were friendly and efficient. When in the area again will definitely be staying at the royal forester! !!!

We had a good stay, kind staff, good service, lovely meals!

A hidden gem, fantastic food, a very kind landlord, wonderful rooms, I cannot recommend this place highly enough - well worth a visit if you want all of the above 10/10 for everything

Very nice, rooms are modern spacious and very clean, al the mod cons you need. Very good restaurant, nce food, plenty of people coming in just to eat. Staff are very attentive.

We really enjoyed our stay at Royal Forester. Nice people, nice food and beautiful rooms

I am a regularly visitor to the Royal Forester, and as always the rooms are extremely comfortable, very well decorated (and the new touches are first class), very clean and it is a pleasure to stay their.The food is first class as always and the staff are very professional and friendly - I would recommend to anyone.

From the welcomefrom Sean as I arrived to the smile & whishing me a safe ride back to the south west as a left, a most enjoyable experience, oh & the rooms are amazing value & the coffe is excellent.I'll be back.

We were made very welcome at the Royal Forester. Our room was bright and comfortable and we enjoyed an excellent breakfast.

Couldn't be happier. Very easy check in.Room clean,plenty of hot water, and great to have a sheet under the Duvet! Ate in the restaurant that night. Food well presented and tasted great. Hearty breakfast in the morning rounded off our stay. Would happily come back again

Had a lovely stay at the hotel. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We had requested some special dietary requirements which they served at dinner so a huge thank you for that and the super glue for one of my colleagues. We will definitely be back. Thanks once again. Five stars all the way.

Couldn't fault the place or service. The quality and cleanliness of the rooms very good.

Enjoyed our stay.Very friendly staff, good food and accommodation and thanks for accepting well behaved dogs.

fantastic accomadation and food is out of this world and the staff are friendly and very helpful and pleasant well done to you all and thank you very much

Friendly staff, fab food at lunch and dinner, comfy room.

Made to feel very welcome, staff all friendly, room was clean and cosy.We enjoyed the bar facilities and the breakfast fantastic especially the eggs, look forward to seeing you again soon.Brendan and Caroline Rogers

After an 8 hour drive from Poole we were ready for a relaxing night. The two beers we tried were excellent and later on in the restrauant we had a superb meal with wine. The room was large, the bed comfey and a good shower. we would consider a longer stay in the future

We thoroughly enjoyed our three night stay and were made very welcome. The food in the restaurant was superb.Would stay again if in the area.

As always first class place to stay and eat.The rooms and the food are excellent and the service is second to none - the staff at the Royal Forester cannot do enough to help you and give you a brilliant service.Highly recommend, I stay regularly as this place is a "Gem".

Thanks Jackie always a pleasure to have you with us

The Royal Forester; what lovely little place to stay. Stayed in January when we had all the rain. So would love to come back here during nicer weather so that we can take in some walking. The rooms are great, really warm, clean and modern. Breakfast is freshly made will fill you up for the rest of the day!! We didn't dine in the restaurant but the choice on offer looked amazing and perhaps we will sample this when we stay again.Would definitely recommend for a peaceful relaxing few days away.

We very much enjoyed our brief stay at the Royal Forester.We had a lovely meal and an excellent room.The breakfast was fine and I would use/recomment the place again.

The accommodation and food were of a high standard. 1 problem experience that I was unable to use my mobile whilst in my room through lack of signal

Nicely themed boutiques room, buzzy restaurant, friendly staff, and a super breakfast.Can write have a sign to find your car park please?

Hotel and restaurant really excellent, lovely bar / dining room, and bedroom. Food excellent, service great. No more to say. Oh yes, we will return.

Just stayed at the Royal Forester for the weekend had an excellent time.Rooms really comfortable and the staff were brilliant.Ate in the restaurant both nights where thefood was superb quality and was accompanied by a varied and imaginative wine list. Highlight was listening to one of the locals doing a bit of taff bashing as the England v France game was on in the bar (I am from West Wales and the ref was Welsh - Nigel Owens) only for his face to turn sour as the French scored a last gasp try to win!!!Highly recommend staying here.

Stylish, comfy, well-equipped rooms. Great hospitality. Easy to relax here. Not bright shine new.

We were made to feel welcome from the moment we stepped in the door until we left. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Food was lovely, ate in the restaurant on both nites, filling our boots with beautiful food. Fully recommend dinning in the restaurant. Gave 4/5 overall, what would have made it a 5/5 would be hash browns and beans with breakfast :) Thanks for a lovely stay

What a find!! The food was wonderful and the staff so helpful and attentive. The rooms are clean and tidy and well thought out.Couldn't ask for more and such good value for money!

I had not been in the Royal Forrester for some 15 years or so, it was always a lovely country pub then but the transformation since having a make over is unbelievable.Booked through KGB an online company so that I could visit family and friends in Bewdley and Sutton Coldfield.If you want a relaxing place to stay this is the place to come, did not eat evenig meal there but it must be good as there were a lot of diners when we returned in late evening, can vouch for the breakfast though it was sumptious.The staff were also very obliging and the Hungarian girl who served out table was great (hope you do well in your exams when you go back next week).Thanks for the hospitality, hope to see you again on a visit from West Wales.Jane and Geoff

Very comfortable and welcoming place to stay!

Lovely hotel ; really friendly staff and the food was excellent- both the breakfast and the very good restaurant. Would recommend it to friends and family

We found this Country Inn & restaurant to be superb. The room was very clean and tidy with sufficient items at a very high quality. The restaurant is excelent and must be tried. Sean & Maxine are very friendlt and you could not wish for better hosts. Will definately stay again.

as soon as we arrived we were met by a member of staff who was really friendly and showed us to our room witch was lovely and warm on such a cold night after a hot bath we ate at the superb restaurant down stairs the food was fantastic and we look forward to our next stay.

excellent accommodation and breakfast friendly staff would recommend this hotelthank you allen&diane

Had a most enjoyable stay on a KGB Deal, Inn is in an ideal location with some very nice pubs in the area. Room was very clean and pleasant to stay in.Would recommend a stay anytime.

2nd time we have stayed here as we enjoyed the first visit so much.Told our friends about the KGB Deal and to jump on board - so the 4 of us plus 2 dogs arrived for out mid week break. Yet again, we enjoyed ourselvestremendously! A very warm welcome from everybody. Good food, good company, good walks and very very comfortable accommodation. Well worth a visit!!

Great food, lovely atmosphere, beautiful rooms, and free safari tickets, exceptional 2 day break, you will see us again.Many Thanks Brian Coy

My boyfriend and I stayed here last weekend as part of a kgb deal (2 night stay and safari park day trip). We had the pumpkin room..The rooms where very comfortable and we especially liked the wet room instead of the usual shower/bath! The rooms being a different fruit/vegetable we thought was cool! Our breakfasts and dinners were superb, could not fault the food (the scallop starter was delicious) and we had friendly service. The only complaint I have is that we had to wait longer than we'd liked to go to the safari park as they had ran out of tickets.. other than that, we had a lovely weekend :)

Olde worlde charm meets contemporary chic; this is a delightful place to stay.

This was my second stay and I loved it! The warm welcome and super food in a relaxing setting is just what the business traveller needs. Will come again

Had a wonderful stay.The room was lovely, the evening meal and wine delicious and one of the nicest breakfast I have had in a long time, especially the mushroom.The staff are really friendly and the place has a lovely warm, cosy feeling.Would recommend staying there.

Friendly and helpful staff. a good base to explore area. nice food. Enjoyed our stay thanks

My mum and I stayed over at the Royal Forester for one night, on a trip down to Worcester for business purposes. The staff were friendly and helpful, the evening meal was exquisite and the breakfast was wholesome and apt for the day ahead.

Very helpful friendly staff.The rooms were modern and very comfortable.There was a good choice of items at breakfast.The evening menu is excellent-well worth trying.

We recently stayed at the inn and found it a warm an inviting break with very pleasant and helpful staff , lovely rooms and a good Resturant serving up very affordable well cooked food

I had bought this 2 night KGB offer for arelatives Ruby Wedding gift and could not have been more delighted. What a surprise for this relative to have Ruby Red accessories in their immaculate bedroom. We were waited on from the moment we arrived. They certainly know how togo the extra mile. Excellent hospitality fromthe owners and all staff. Excellent restauranfood. Excellent accommodation. Will definately go again....Thank you The Royal Forester

just spent two days here.excellent value and lovely hotel. would highly recommend and would not hesitate to stay here again.

we enjoyed our stay hotel very welcolming and staff very helpful and polite we will definately go back

I wanted to surprise my boyfriend on a weekend away for his birthday and saw this fabulous deal on KGB!! The staff were really friendly and couldn't see why there have been some bad reviews!

Very nice hotel the rooms are lovely. Very friendly staff, and excellent food. Definitely recommend a visit.

Had a fabulous stay location was great ,staff were lovely and the food was to die for highly recomended !!!! *****

This hotel is a number one friendly run family business and it shows.Sean tbe proprietor and his wife werealways making sure your ok but at the same time were not in your face. Tbe chef is an excellent cook and tbe waitresses are great. Even though we only stayecd forr twonightseven the locals made you feel welcomed.The rooms are bright andclean. Overall this is oneof tbe best small hotels we have stayed in and will be returning. Safari park is a must.

couldn't be better good welcomelovely roomgreat food and drinkand friendly staffdefinitely on my go back to lst

Booked this short break out of the blue - Arrived to a very warm welcome from Jack who showed us to our room.Very nice comfortable room with the nice touch of being named after fruit rather than being numbered (colour of the fruit being the theme of the room).Dined in the restaurant on our first evening and was so impressed with the meal and service that we repeated the experience on our second night.Nice breakfasts.Very obvious that the business was very "hands on" run.Will definitely be returning.(even without any kgb deal!!).

A very enjoyable break; able to take 2 small dogs with us, nice room, very helpful staff, great food, some good attractions nearby, safari park tickets were great, a really good day out.2 downsides; Noise late on from pub and restaurant, and non-appearance of continental breakfast ordered for morning of departure due to early leaving.

We stayed here for two nights in August, wefound staff very friendly and accomadating to our very active 18month old.Room was lovely (we were pumpkin) and the freshley cooked breakfast was great.We ate at the resturant twice and found the food lovely, highly recommended.In terms of location its very near the forest/safari park and a short drive from lovely towns.Great place to stay.

Our first impression of The Royal Forrester as we pulled into the car park was 'This looks good!' On entering the reception/bar area we were even more impressed especially when we were warmly greeted by Sean (owner)who showed us to a beautiful modern room with a top quality en suite bathroom.All the rooms are named after fruits and colour coordinated accordingly.A great deal of thought, care and attention has gone into the decor and furnishings. Lovely crisp white bedding and ample supply of fluffy towels.The restaurant has been expertly and tastefully designed to create a relaxing, comfortable place to enjoy the most amazing food which was of the highest standard. Menus were interesting and inviting, offering delicious, well presented fresh dishes. We ate on both nights of our stay and were delighted with everything we were served.Well done to the very talented chefs!All the staff were friendly, helpful and attentive.Breakfasts were served in the bar area, and again there was a very good choice of cereals jams, nuts etc and cooked dishes. It was at breakfast that we met Maxine(owner)who makes the best porridge I have ever eaten! She is a lovely lady and perfect hostess. We were given lots of information on places to visit which was very helpful.We sincerely hope to return to this lovely establishment and thank Maxine,Sean and all the staff for a very enjoyable and memorable stay. Good luck to you all in the future

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The staff were so lovely and couldn't do enough for you. The food was excellent and the rooms were immaculate and very comfortable.

stayed at the Royal Forester on a KGB deal.Welcomed by Sean who quickly booked us in & showed us our room which was excellently furnished.The bar has an excellent choice of real ales.The locals were very friendly and willing to offer advice on where to visit.Had an excellent meal in the restaurant followed the next day by a good breakfast accompanied by the sound of singing from the kitchen(we found this to be Maxine our host)we found our stay both relaxing and enjoyable and would definitely stay here again when in this area.

We had a wonderful stay, we loved the themed decorated rooms we stayed in Blueberry. Both the evening meals and breakfast were excellent. We thoroughly recommend this Hotel really is homely Thank you

We had a very pleasant two-night stay at this comfortable establishment which has a nice ambience about it - a very cosy restaurant and relaxing bar. Modern styled and with clean rooms. We will definitely go again.

We had a lovely time staying at the Royal Forester, excellent accommodation, great food and very friendly and welcoming staff. Thanks so much for a lovely stay, would love to visit again sometime.

A lovely area for a break and the accommodation was very comfortable. Shaun was very welcoming and the food was superb. Will definitely return

Welcomed by friendly staff, stayed in the blueberry roomWhich was nice and clean. The food was fantastic a real fine dining experience. I can't fault anything here and plan on coming back soon

I stayed at The Royal Forester with my daughter for two nights from the 21st of August and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the food was excellent and the room was large and clean. I wouldn't hesitate to reccommend the hotel as a place to stay, and with West Midlands Safari Park just down the road it is ideal for a family break.

We had 2 nights for £99 with 2 safari tickets, the wm safari park was enjoyable but not as good as Longleat. Our room was the Pumpkin and was spacious and well furnished, the bathroom was modern with a wet room shower with slate tiling, the only drawback was the roof window and the passing traffic at night meant we had to keep the window shut. The breakfast was excellent, overall we enjoyed our stay there and would recommend it to others.

Delicious food, but service was slightly wanting. Waiters always seemed to forget something and needed reminding. Nice comfortable room

Excellent hotel---really enjoyed our stayStaff helpful, always cheerful and professionalFood absolutly lovely and cooked wonderfully!!!Wouuld definatley stay again and would well recommend---Thank you very much!!!!

We would just like to say what a lovely time we had recently staying with Sean, Maxine and their great team of staff. Nothing was too much trouble and the Sunday Roast was fab, the breakfast's as good as any 5* hotel. Cannot wait to return.

Enjoyed a two night stay at this friendly hotel on a kgb deal which included tickets for the safari park.Had a delicious Sunday carvery in the lovely restaurant.Breakfast was nice too with a good choice.

We stayed at the Foresters while we went to a friends wedding. All I can say is it was the perfect choice,the food was superb and the accommodation was clean and comfortable and all the staff friendly and helpful making it a great place to stay ! and we will be back .S

My husband and I just enjoyed a short break at the Royal Forester and would recommend this hotel to one and all, great atmosphere and service, themed rooms basic but comfortable, staff are very friendly and willing to go out of their way to make your stay a joy, many thanks to Max & Sean and all their staff, especially Mark the Chief (Thanks or the gluten-free scones!) and Jack (Mr Do-it-all).

We recently stayed at the Royal Forester and found it to be a very pleasant stay. The staff were very helpful and the food was outstanding. Our room was clean,comfy and warm and had everything we needed. In short excellent value for money with a superb breakfast,we will be back.

We've just returned from a 2 night break here (Sunday 4th to Tuesday 6th August) staying in the Blueberry room, unfortunately the weather wasn't too good but the friendliness of the staff, the atmosphere and ambience of the place and the incredible quality of the food more than compensated for it. Make sure you make time to enjoy theWest Midlands Safari Park, which is only a few minutes down the road, because it is fantastic!

having stayed in guest houses,hotels b&b's all up and down the country thishas to be one of the best places we have ever stayed.We only came home a few days ago but we enjoyed it so much that we have booked to return again the staff are so friendly and welcoming nothing is to much trouble for them , i can honestly say i have never met such friendly owners and staff,absolutely fantastic place ,rooms good size ,very clean,food is magnificent i would and will be recomending the royal forester to everybody to go stay in , thankyou for such a great stay

a very relaxing break the Foresters has a very good team of staff.The food is excellent and the rooms are finished to a very high standard. We have stayed in a few inns and hotels in the Bewdley/Ludlow area and this is one of the best.

Wonderful dinner, great band and lovely breakfast on Saturday morning! Another great night at the Foresters!

I would recommend the Royal Forresters to anyone. It was perfect. The owners and their staff are just fab. So relaxing and very very nice. Safari theme park down the road was an excellent day out. Food at this place is amazing and drinks are superb. Couldn't have enjoyed our 2 days anymore. Will definitely return at some point.

Very much enjoyed our stay at The Royal Forester.We were in the Aubergine room along with our dog.Room was very comfortable - amazed to see there was a fridge in there.What a bonus that was!! Décor was maybe a bit tired. Couple of niggly things in the bathroom (cracked bath panel and a loose shelf) but nothing to complain about. Very clean. The food in the evening was excellent.Overall, would definitely recommend to stay there.We enjoyed it so much, we have booked another dearl through kgb!

Excellent stay, massive rooms, lovely restaurant & very welcoming & friendly staff.

It was a great meeting place with great food. Staying at the front I had a busy road through the night.

Was made welcomed the moment we walked in through the door, greeted by name !! Room was excellent and was perfect for the one night stay. Had a meal in the restaurant and decided to go for the American Themed Menu as it was a special on the night, the normal menu was also available, food was excellent. Bar staff were very polite and the whole atmosphere, bar and restaurant was excellent, even the locals at the bar engaged in some banter !!Great nights sleep in a comfortable bed, excellent breakfast, again top notch !!Really could not fault the stay and having stayed in alot of hotels, some very expensive, I found the stay here to be excellent value for money and really could not find fault.If ever we are in the area again we would certainly stay at the Royal Forester, thanks guys !!!!

Clean modern room with good bed and pillows. Evening meal was good and value for money and the breakfast, in particular the coffee, was excellent.

I enjoy staying at good quality individual inns. This one ticks all the boxes. Comfortable rooms, car park and restaurant with great atmosphere and very good food. Just what you need to relax for a few hours and have a quiet evening.

A wonderful couple of days, very relaxing, fantastic room and food, we were made to feel very welcome, no problems taking the dog, perfect for walks through the nearby country park and down in the town which has a wonderful river and beautiful buildings. Will definitely be going back.

Everything's just perfect. The aroma in the room is amazingly relaxing.Great location, near the wyre forest and high trees where I had a nice walk.Highly recommend.

We stayed for one night B&B on 24/05/13.The room was very nice and breakfast good.We also had an evening meal, wbicb was also good.Staff very attentive and welcoming.Will definitely go again.

Even though i wasn't staying at the Forester's myself as i booked it for my swiss friends, they did inform me that they enjoyed their stay with you the only comment made was that they could't get out through the fire door as it was locked on the morning of their departure eventually finding a key to unlock the door they thought it would be dangerous if there was ever a fire. Many Thanks

The accommodation was extremely good value for money, very friendly and helpful staff. Room was comfortable, clean and had everything you needed. Breakfast was excellent! I would have no hesitation to recommend to anyone and would definitely stay there again.

This was the 4th time we have stayed at this place and it was as lovely as ever!! The staff are very friendly and helpful, the rooms are fab and the food is delicious!! Think it's safe to say we will be making it a 5th year next year! :-) x

We stayed at the Royal Forester one Saturday night in February 2013. The bar/restaurant area is very attractiv, with subdued lighting and furniture and fittings of reclaimed wood. We were made to feel welcome on arrival and were pleased with our room which was modern and comfortable, with a well-equipped bathroom and adjustable heating. We ate in the restaurant, which was full. Some time after we had placed our order the manager came over and apologised profusely that our order had been misplaced. As a result we suffered a long delay but the food we ate was superb and well-presented. The manager offered us a free drink to apologise and (unprompted) we received a significant reduction when we came to settle the bill. It is a measure of the quality of service at the Royal Forester, first, that the chef and kitchen staff maintained the very high standard of food when under pressure, second, that the manageridentified the oversight, accepted full responsibility with genuine concern and acknowledged the service failure appropriately. Breakfast the next morning was excellent, the d-i-y muesli selection being a very clever idea.

We enjoyed our stay and after initial bedroom problems and a new room we had a good time. We must comment especially on the quality of the food - best French onion soup I've had, and the tasty breakfast. Staff were helpful and friendly. Thank you
