Quirky pub with lots of different little areas of seating. Nice big car park and small outdoor seating area. Lots to do in the area. Just needs more staff, every time we wanted a drink or to order food we had to go looking for staff. Cooked breakfast was on the small side for portion and quite a long wait both to order and food to arrive. Evening staff were very friendly and bar meals good value. Room was a little noisy from bar below until closing time. Bed was comfy and room well equipped.

A small, homely hotel near Sherwood Forest. Comfortable rooms, very clean. A great bar with delicious and high-quality dishes and dinner at reasonable prices. A baby cot is provided upon request of very good quality. I was a little upset when the staff discussed political issues with the guests at the breakfast. Several nationalities were called stupid and inadequate, which is generally unacceptable for the service sector. Breakfast could have been better. There is no one at the reception all the time.

Nothing horrible to report. Good veggie options at the pub for dinner. The complimentary breakfast was as expected. The room was just a cramped room as advertised. The chairs were foot stools so working or eating at the fold out desk was awkward. Not bad overall just not a five star.

Staff were exceptional in making you feel at home. I would have given it 5 stars but there was no heating on and the room was quite cold at night. Otherwise everything was brilliant and would stay here again.

Terrible - where do I start….

Arrived 55 mins early for check in and was abruptly told if we wanted to check in now then we’d have to pay an early check in fee we came back later to which the guy doing the check in was so rude to the guy in front of us. You need to have physical ID on you so they can copy it and then secure £50 against your credit card but they don’t take contactless either. To get the rooms are really steep stairs and then the room (which we was told was the best there) was diabolical, the walls were pealing, wires everywhere and pealing wallpaper. You could feel all the springs in the matress and the quilt was thin and only just fitted the bed Then went to have a shower and it goes from boiling hot to absolutely freezing cold there was no way you can shower properly there nor would you be able to put a child in there. Was talked into breakfast at check in which is £10.50 for 1 bit of dried bacon, 1 egg, 1 sausage, a tub of beans a tomato and some mushrooms. I wish we went to the local cafe instead.

Not great

Despite the positives I wouldn’t stay again. Positives - immaculately clean, friendly staff, lots of free on site parking. Hot shower. Negatives - the room was absolutely freezing. I checked in at 7pm and put the electric heater on but it didn’t get remotely comfortable until midnight. Also very noisy. It’s an old building and it sounded like the people in the bar were in my room, I could hear every word of their conversation. Not great at 11.30pm

I so wanted to write a glowing review for this place as it was in the exact location we needed. I am from the local area originally and had come down for a family event. We were in room 3 which is right above the bar. When we first arrived we could hear a group of people talking and it sounded like they were actually in our room! We went to have a drink and were told that the bar was closing at 10 so we headed up to the room as had an early start the next day but the music continued until way after midnight. It was so loud I could name every song played (80’s rock classics). Then at 5 am the noise started again, sounding like members of staff arriving and chatting. The next night was much the same, in fact the music seemed to be turned up after 11pm. The room was cheaply decorated, it’s a period building with wonky floors and beams and our windows appeared painted shut. The leather sofa had stains and rips on it and the shower was either boiling or freezing. On a positive note, the breakfast was lovely and the member of staff serving at breakfast times deserves a mention as she was so friendly. This place needs some money putting into it to make it more than just acceptable, it’s a great building in a great location but the noise was terrible and the decor needed sorting.

Unfortunate stay

I am unable to wrap my head around the customer reviews for this hotel. It’s an older property but not tastefully or sympathetically converted to a BandB. Trunking slapped to the walls everywhere, gaffer tape holding carpets together, to highlight a few ghastly ‘maintenance’ fixes. Breakfast: The coffee at breakfast can only be only described as akin to tarmac surface water. Beyond foul! Room: During our unfortunate stay we rejoiced in counting the residents above our room emptying their bowels, urinating, and vomiting all over the bathroom. Such was the soundproof-ness. The mattresses are well used and we found divots to sleep in. The bathroom had all the charm of a hostel for the homeless! Staff: The housekeeping/breakfast ladies were both thoroughly pleasant with us. Hygiene: The accommodation was clean, for the amount of nooks and crannies, trunking, etc to clean the only dust I found was behind the headboards. Minor, minor, evidence of mould in the bathroom grout but in relation to the many hotels I use this can only be described as clean.

Awkward steps The fire alarm went off 4 times up until about 8.30pm ish (which isn’t ideal when trying to get a baby to sleep. However lovely stay x
