Originally known as Tump House, the oldest part of the hotel building dates back to 1797.

The hotel's Bluebell Restaurant offers an excellent a la carte menu, cooked to order by the award-winning chef.

Open from Monday to Saturday evenings, the Bluebell is one of the most popular restaurants in Coleford - please ensure that you reserve a table in advance if possible.

A carefully chosen selection of good quality wine is served to complement the menu.
