Any suggestions? (Pub/Micro-brewery or Hotel) with comfortable beds (and we'll worry about the beer later...)

Have a look at The Pencraig Court Hotel

For a micro brewery I was going to mention the Freeminer Brewery at the Miners Arms in Sling, Forest of Dean just up the hill but Google tells me they've shifted production to Cinderford trading estate and you wouldn't want to stay there. Not that Sling was much better.

No accommodation (reasonable) at or near the Freeminer Brewery, but plenty of pubs in The Forest who sell their beer also do accommodation - see my earlier post or contact the Brewery direct - snipped-for-privacy@freeminer.com

Such as 'The Fountain' in Parkend, Centre of the Universe. Just don't ask any locals "Who killed the bear then?" Not because of the popular myth that it is deeply offensive and will enrage any Forester worthy of the name but because not one of them will have a clue what you're on about. Avoiding phrases like "Aren't the sheep cute" or "When do the trains come up this far?" might also be a good idea.

From a long time ago I remember the New Inn at St Owen's Cross, just off the A49 north of Ross on Wye, it was in the Good Beer Guide (and may still be for all I know) and did accommodation.

Or the Riverside at Aymestrey.

Or the Pilgrim Hotel at Much Birch.

I once stayed at the wyndham in clearwell - comfy beds and handy for everywhere

They sell Freeminer Bitter and Speculation as well!!

Not inexpensive, though. Slightly more budget, good grub, beer, and cider as well, to be had in the Cherry Tree, Tintern.

Usual disclaimers, just drank there happily for over 20 years.
