“Forest of Arden presents a mixed picture; while its golf courses and location between Birmingham and Coventry are clear assets, recent reports suggest service inconsistencies. The grounds and spa facilities promise relaxation, but dining experiences appear to need attention. I would say that, for now, prospective guests should weigh the leisure amenities against potential service delays.”

Fantastic stay!

free clubsadult-only spaexercise bikenarrow parking spaces
The staff gave free clubs for driving range practice. That was great. I loved the adult-only spa hour. We had the pool to ourselves. Our beautiful room had everything, including a hot tub jacuzzi and exercise bike. The midday check-out was amazing.
The hotel needs narrower parking spaces for electric charging vehicles.
