What an absolutely beautifully quintessential English cottage.
Could not have chosen a better place to stay. If I am ever near Bath again, this will be my accommodation of choice!
Spectacular!

They went out of their ways to help me when I had an issue with my car (flat tyre) and offered the drinks and the meal while we tried to sort out the issue!!! I can’t thank them enough to get myself organised and got back home safely!!!

What a treat to stay at the Forthay! The innkeepers offer attentive customer service and excellent attention to detail. The bed was one of the most comfortable I have experienced and the breakfast was brilliant!!!
Terrific experience in every front!

Great place and great host! We had a room at the top of the place and it was a bit noisy outside at around 10pm but after that we slept great.
Our toilet wasn't flushed from the previous guests when we arrived but besides that the house was spotless. Charles was a very welcoming host and made us an incredible breakfast.
Would definitely stay again whenever in the area.

Great find, gem of a property
Walking the Cotswolds Way and chose this property as it’s location was perfect for our distance and it looked really nice in the photos. We were not disappointed, beautiful house, very tastefully decorated, great character and top quality fittings. Lovely welcoming hosts. Would highly recommend.

Very disappointed
I embrace historic charm and quirkiness; what I don’t like are doors to bathrooms and bedrooms that don’t shut properly and lack of cleaning.
The bedroom was described as deluxe double but there is nothing deluxe about it. The carpet was stained and had not been vacuumed recently as evidenced by dead flies and numerous bits. The door to the bedroom could not be properly closed and there was no lock. I’m not sure why this couldn’t be rectified as the door frames seemed relatively new and appeared ‘true’. Perhaps this is a “feature”. There is absolutely no sound insulation in the room.
The bathroom was across the landing and we were provided with robes. However the bathroom could have done with a good clean too. The shower was hot and had good pressure.
The bed was so soft that we found it uncomfortable, this is personal taste but beware if you prefer firmer beds.
Breakfast was ok, but the breakfast table was covered in crumbs and bits from previous diners. Again lack of cleanliness and attention to detail.
The hotel may be dog friendly, but certainly one of the resident dogs wasn’t friendly and nipped me as we were leaving; not a big deal for me but if you don’t like dogs…
This review echoes that of one from 2021 and shows a lack of acceptance of customer feedback by the hosts.
Finally, not that the hosts can do anything about this, but be warned that there are single track roads on all approaches and potholes aplenty- avoid the Ivy Cottsges turning!

Very cozy room in a historic house, best bed and shower from our trip. Breakfast was delicious. No TV, but instead , a lot of great books. I love the details of the decorations specially the ones in the living room. Close to restaurant .
