About this property
Built in 1676 as a hunting lodge for King Charles II, the Speech House Hotel has been refurbished to offer modern facilities and luxurious rooms while retaining its period features. The Speech House is situated 5 miles from the Wye Valley in the heart of the Forest of Dean. Rooms are set in the main house or in the courtyard, with many offering forest views and some with four-poster beds. All rooms are decorated in a traditional style and have TVs with Freeview and tea and coffee-making facilities. The Verderer’s Court restaurant has beamed ceilings and offers modern European cuisine. The Orangery serves lighter meals and snacks. The Speech House is 10 minutes’ drive from the Dean Forest Steam Railway and the Dean Heritage Centre. Chepstow Castle and town centre, as well as Gloucester with its historic docks are a 30-minute drive away. Cheltenham is a 40-minute drive from the hotel and there is easy access to the M4 and M5 motorways.
Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.3 for a two-person trip.
