The 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. A family run business that combines a modern hotel and wedding venue facilities in a location with a fascinating history.
It was here that Verderers court, for the protection of vert and venison was held. From 1858 The Speech House was let by the Crown as an Inn, with the courtroom still being reserved for Verderers when required. These days the Court sits on average only 4 times a year when matters concerning the Forest are discussed.
The installation of around 150 solar panels on the more modern additions to the original buildings will help to underpin the green policy of the business. The Speech House Hotel is a member of the Forest of Dean Climate Charter, has a Bronze EcoSmart award, and the Big Solar Co-op is delighted to be part of this longstanding aim to reduce its carbon footprint.
