Forest View is a lovely guest house with great food situation in a stunning location. It will bring tranquility and a chance to stop and think about the important things in life. For some reason all the signs have had whitewash painted over the word "hotel" which is fair enough but also over the ETB rating which was slightly worrying!... more

Found Symonds Yat East to be beautiful, the guest house is in a prime position on the river bank of the Wye, the views we had from our room were outstanding and Alison the owner was very welcoming upon arrival. We stayed in Room 11, a very cosy, clean room with an amazing view of the river.The breakfast was tasty... more

Me and my mom stayed at Forest View for 3 nights and couldnt fault it at all!! The B&B has everything you need for a short break. The rooms are clean and comfortable with en suite, tv and tea and coffee facilities. Rob's breakfasts are delicious and set you up for the day. We stayed in room 3 and had... more

My husband and I wanted a short midweek break to celebrate our anniversary - we found paradise. I have never seen such amazing views and I come from Dorset! The hotel room made the most of those fabulous views - a little old fashioned in decoration but that is just personal taste... and talking of taste we had the best... more

What a lovely way to start the day! We pull back our curtains to enjoy the view of the river Wye as it passes through the Symonds Yat gorge. Then down to fresh fruit salad, cereals and a well cooked full English breakfast. This guest house is a great find. In a beautiful situation, with friendly and professional hosts, comfortable,... more

We booked at last minute and found this to one of the best guest houses we have used in the UK so far. Room was modern and clean and the views from it were fabulous - the photographs on site do not do it justice. Close to some lovely towns and villages and there are varying walks from flat to... more

14 of us just stayed over in this hotel while on a 2 day canoe trip down the river. The hosts could not do enough to help us...and this was the type of service we had from the moment we walked in the door. lovely rooms...fantastic breakfast...breathtaking views of the river and surrounding countryside. Places to eat and drink within... more

We spent two nights at the Forest View and found it generally excellent. True, it's a slightly old-fashioned place and it may not be to everyone's taste, but actually we like that aspect of it - a lot of new and refurbished places look great but don't have the warmth and comfort of somewhere like Forest View. We ate at... more

This was our second stay at the Forest View and was just as good as our first stay, and perhaps even better! We received a very warm welcome and the service we experienced was superb - Alison and Rob were so friendly and hospitable and nothing was too much trouble. We stayed in a family room which was very comfortable... more
