    6.0

    Spacious accommodation with unique features like patio doors opening to expansive gardens. The atmosphere reflects a rustic hunting lodge charm with distinctive decor that feels inviting and quaint.

    Parking in the woods might be a hassle, especially with luggage. the route to the accommodation involves navigating winding spiral stairs, which can be a nuisance after a long day. Some decor elements, like the threadbare stair carpets and the coffee table with cup stains, hint at a need for maintenance, creating an overall impression that lacks polish. The lighting in certain areas is subpar, making it less than comforting when returning at night.

    bar hours
    dated bathroom

    had a magical stay at forss house hotel. the location is gorgeous, and the whole place has charm & history. the staff were exceptional, super friendly and helpful. my room was cozy and warm, really comfy. breakfast was served quickly and was way better than any restaurant.

    was a bit disappointed that the bar didn't open until later and our room could’ve been a bit more updated. also, the bathroom felt a little old-fashioned.

    waterfall views
    private dining room
    spacious cottage
    lack of fridge

    We had a fantastic stay in the charming mill cottage with stunning waterfall views. Perfect for our group getaway, offering plenty of space and a private dining room to celebrate a birthday. The surroundings were peaceful, and we enjoyed walking along the river. The local surfing community was a great addition to our experience!

    One downside was that there wasn't a fridge available to keep drinks cool. This was a minor inconvenience but worth mentioning.

    minor inconvenience

    I had a wonderful stay at Forss House! The room was spacious with a super comfortable king-size bed, and the views of the nearby waterfall were absolutely breathtaking. The staff were incredibly friendly and made sure I felt right at home. Enjoyed a delightful breakfast that really set the tone for the day.

    The bathroom facilities were a bit dated.

    culinary masterpiece

    Target audience foodies and adventurers

    The food here is top notch, every meal I had was a culinary masterpiece, especially that breakfast, I mean the scrambled eggs were a highlight, just perfect. the ambiance was something else, felt homely, the staff genuinely cared about my experience and even remembered my name, which is rare nowadays.

    It wasn't exactly cheap for what you get but still reasonable.

    Highly Recommend for Couples Looking for a Special Stay

    The staff were friendly, went out of their way to make us feel welcome & the atmosphere was just so cozy we felt right at home. The decor was really good, felt like I walked into a masterpiece and the breakfast had a lot of choices, hit the spot.

    It wasn’t cheap, but I guess that’s the price for a quality experience.
