Speech House Hotel

The Speech House Hotel is a former 17th century hunting lodge set in the heart of the idyllic Royal Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire. Overlooking the romantic wilderness of the surrounding Forest of Dean, it makes a lovely country setting for a wedding venue.

The hotel has 35 comfortable en-suite bedrooms, several with impressive antique master four-poster beds. For dining, you’ll be spoilt for choice. Relax in the informal Orangery and enjoy a tasty lunch, traditional Afternoon Tea or light supper. Or visit Verderers’, our AA Rosette à la carte restaurant, and indulge in a fine dining experience, under the creative guidance of our Head Chef Gareth Jenkins.

Step outside and take in the breathtaking surrounding scenery, ideal for exploring with the dog, finding a pretty picnic spot or challenging yourself to more adventurous activities. Whether you’re visiting for dinner, staying for a few days or filling the hotel with friends and family attending your wedding, a warm welcome always awaits.
