Pleasant comfortable stay
Very well proportioned room and very comfortable. Staff very friendly and very helpful. Unfortunately restaurant was closed other than for breakfast but it is very central to loads of cafes/restaurants and I enjoyed the walk along the canal to get Sunday lunch. Very pleasant stay and very quiet at night.

Nice one night stay
Stayed for one night while visiting family over xmas hols. Room was clean, comfortable and lovely and warm. Only met two staff but both very friendly and helpful. I was late due to traffic and they stayed at reception until I arrived and carried my case to the room for me. Breakfast was basic but complementary so certainly nothing to complain about. Various cereals. Brown and white bread for toast, butter and jam yogurts, pastries, tea, coffee and juice. Would stay again and it was cheaper (and nicer) than travellodge

Aweful stay
We waited 10 minutes to check in, despite calling the phone number on reception twice. We got to our room and there were stains on the pillows, the carpet was filthy, the light shade had years worth of cobwebs on and one of the taps did a near on 360 degree turn in the bathroom. It was a 3 person room although it only had 1 large towel and the bed for the 3rd person was rough enough to break a man’s back, Luckily there were only 2 of us staying. There is 1 parking space that is so tight you have to breath in to get in your car and then pull the car out to let passengers in. The people were fairly friendly enough which is about the only positive. Sorry! Shoestring budget and greedy business owners seems to be the cause of all of the above. Not even cheap.

Worst hotel in Retford
booked for fri sat. Which I paid in cash, and was sent an email contribution that i would receive a full discount if I cancelled with 36hrs of check in time. I cancelled the next day and requested my money back I then had to go through painful questions and attempts to tel me I wasn’t entitled to my full refund. He eventually gave me 70% two days later. Which I’m not happy about at all. Felt the whole time I was dealing with something wrong. I wouldn’t trust there manager, at all. Avoid at all costs

Professional upgrade to old building
This boutique hotel was a former police station but the transformation has been completed to a very high standard. A little more attention to running repairs would earn a higher review score.

Comfortable but requires some maintenance work
We booked for B&B to be close to the majestic theatre. We booked a pre theatre dinner only to be told when we arrived the restaurant was closed. Our allocated room was upstairs (no lift). One guest had limited mobility and the room was changed to ground floor when the receptionist realised this. The receptionist was extremely helpful offering to accommodate us to eat in the restaurant with take away food. The room was reasonably clean but required some high dusting and the decor was very tired. The receptionist did everything possible to make our stay comfortable in unfortunate circumstances which were beyond his control. The staff at breakfast was helpful and polite.

Nice but could have been better.
Reception wasn’t staffed for arrival, but there was a telephone number to call and the manager arrived a few minutes later. We tried to have a shower before popping out for a bite to eat but the shower looked like a rhino had used it before us! You couldn’t switch to the main shower head as the handle had been snapped off and the temperature was stuck in one position - scalding! The sliding doors to the shower were off their rails so when we managed to use the hand held shower head water puthered out over the floor. We had a word with the manager who apologised, said he was aware and a plumber was coming the next day - no good for us as we were only stopping for one night. We were offered another room which was put to us that it was a more expensive family room, but the one offered was no where near as nice as the one booked. As alternative to the shower we had a lovely roll top bath, which was nice but the pipe work up to the taps had been repaired with a hefty amount of black tape! The room was very clean generally and the beds were super comfy. Breakfast was self service with a selection of cereals, toast and crumpets juices and tea / coffee. With a little more care, a full English breakfast this could have been a lovely hotel but I wouldn’t book again.

I would have given an excellent rating but for two things. I was told that the doors would be locked at 10 pm but on arriving at 9:30 pm found them locked and reception unmanned. Secondly the shower temperature could not be adjusted from scalding hot so unable to shower before I left.

We booked for 1 adult one child (2 beds) on arrival there was minimal staff. Our room was large and clean but only the double bed was made up, no bedding for the sofa bed and no staff to ask. This meant I slept on the sofa bed with no pillow/blanket, needless to say I didn’t really sleep. Not great when we paid more than we would have in a premier or travel lodge -
