Best Western Forest And Vale Hotel

Attended a wedding here - had a great time. The staff, food, drinks, surroundings - all amazing. great place for a wedding. Great garden for bride&groom to get photos. Afternoon tea that was served was delighful. Would think about a stay here for a weekend break. less

welcoming staff, very comfy bed and a great breakfast, we chose the smoked haddock and poached egg which was well presented and nicely cooked. Quiet room the only fault I found was that the bedside lights were operated by one switch so it was either lights on or off for both of you. less

Wonderful hotel, the staff are amazing and nothing is too much trouble for them. We have stayed here a few times now and I'm always impressed with their willingness to help. The food is fantastic too. Plenty of parking and great location. less

My wife and I stayed at the hotel for two nights as part of my birthday treat. The hotel is situated very conveniently for access to Pickering town centre, various local attractions such as the castle, the parish church and the North York Moors Railway. There are also some very attractive villages within easy reach and the North Yorkshire coast is only a short drive away. The hotel is housed in lovely 18th century mansion and has direct access to a beautiful garden. The various modern extensions have been built in such a way as to be very sympathetic to the original building and its architecture. Our room was located in one of two former cottages on the site and comprised of an adequately spacious bedroom which was clean and cosy. It was equipped with modern facilities and the shower over the bath had an excellent water pressure. I thought that the busy road outside would present a noise problem but the room was so well insulated that we were never disturbed by the traffic. It all disappears in the evening anyway. We only ate breakfasts at the hotel but everything was beautifully served with fresh linen tablecloths and a lovely view of the garden and the huge sweet chestnut tree which must be centuries old. The staff were very friendly and obliging, they shared local knowledge with us and showed a genuine interest in making our stay both welcoming and enjoyable. less

This Hotel is run by dedicated staff who love what they do. All went out of their way to make our stay perfect, the room was lovely, spotless. The food was amazing,breakfast, so much choice and set out beautifully lots of fruit, and a great cooked meal. A special mention to Ben, Allun, Carol.Thanks Ben for the wife's Pimms! less
