Best Western Forest And Vale Hotel

My friends and I meet regularly for lunch here and we love it. We are welcomed like old friends, with good food and lovely facilities. Well worth a visit if you’re in the area. The toilets are spotless and the gardens delightful in summer. less

Our first visit back in August prompted us to book for the Christmas Party night, based largely on the location, friendly staff, excellent food and good sized well appointed rooms. The party night was wonderful and despite catering for a 100 people the service was excellent, the food delicious and the event well organised. We were upgraded to a superior room (no.3) which was very comfortable and spacious. The hotel sits on the edge of Pickering and provides a good location from which to explore the town and North Yorkshire. Richard and Elizabeth less

My name is DJ Lynne and run my own DJ business AvA Entertainment along with my husband Terry. The hotel asked me if I would consider DJ'ing for their Christmas Party nights. From Day 1 communication was first class. All the staff were friendly & made us feel very welcome and at home. The parties went exceptionally well and we hope everyone had a fabulous time. less

Stopped here for a night while away for work, the staff were very friendly and we were greeted through the front door, shown to our rooms which were very clean and tidy, quick service at the bar and the chap behind the bar made pleasant conversation, followed up by a well cooked breakfast in the morning with more food than I knew what to do with! 10/10 stay! less

After friends visit twice in 4 months, this hotel was recommended to us. We had 3 nights DB&B and were not disappointed. Old world charm with warm welcoming bedroom. Staff very efficient, friendly and we were made to feel very welcome. Food at Breakfast and Dinner was good with the exception that Porridge at Breakfast on one morning was not cooked enough and a dessert on one evening was barely warm!!!!! Possibly a bought in sweet and warmed in microwave oven. Cost £6 as part of 3 course meal disappointing and showed a lack of attention by Chef.However this did not detract from our enjoyment of the hotel or our break and it will not stop us from a return. For this reason I give 4 stars as above Midge 77 less
