After a day of exploration, unwind at The Royal Forest, a pub with rooms where you can enjoy a delicious meal before retreating to your cosy room for a truly restful night’s sleep.
Sink into luxurious sheets or let your cares melt away in a roll-top bath, nestled beneath a preserved stained glass window with breathtaking views of the treetops.
This historic gem, with roots dating back to the 19th century, has been lovingly restored to showcase a stunning design that honours its rich heritage.
Enjoy the peaceful library for quiet reflection, relax in the bright and airy forest room offering sweeping views of Epping Forest, or sip on your morning coffee on the south facing terrace at the front of this impressive building.
At Heartwood Collection, we’ve carefully restored the unique details that make this building so special, breathing new life into every corner for new generations to enjoy.
Just minutes from the Visitor Centre and Queen Elizabeth’s 16th-century Hunting Lodge, The Royal Forest is perfectly positioned for you to explore the rich history and natural beauty of the area.
