Kings Park Hotel ★★★

📍 Exchange St, Retford

"We stayed here for a family trip and we had a lovely stay. The staff are so nice and can't do enough to help. The owner is Always polite and greets you with a smile on the way in. Which for me staff are important in contributing to a good stay. Room was so clean and cosy and when we had issues they were dealt with straight away. Breakfast is basic but served our needs and we were happy with it. Great value for money. Thank you for a pleasant stay."

Travelodge Retford Markham Moor
8.5 (46 reviews)

Travelodge Retford Markham Moor ★★★

📍 A1 Northbound, Markham Moor, Retford

"Genuinely the most depressing place. Dirty room, mouldy, damp smell everywhere. The bathroom was filthy and full of spiders, no shower gel, no shampoo. We were on the ground floor and the window locks were held together with electrical wire. The carpet stuck to your shoes. We left after five minutes and drove to a Premier Inn. The place is in a lorry park next to a dilapidated KFC. It’s the kind of place where people rent rooms by the hour of you know what I mean. Plus I saw a lorry driver w@**king in the car park."

The Lawns Guest House
9.1 (324 reviews)

The Lawns Guest House ★★★★

📍 93 London Rd, Retford

"I booked family to stay here as the reviews stated was very clean. Unfortunately I was disappointed the room was dusty along with ensuite. The window in the room was broken so almost impossible to open but finally did manage to get it to open. Downstairs in kitchen there was old food left on the floor that remained there during stay ( 3 nights) . Tea, coffee in the room not replaced so ran out after 1st night. Won't be booking stay here again."

The Boat Inn Hayton
6.6 (21 reviews)

The Boat Inn Hayton ★★

📍 97 Main St, Retford

"Firstly the pub is very nice, clean and tidy and the ladies who served us were very pleasant. However I would not expect a 10% service charge to be automatically put on the bill. You would only expect a service charge on a bill for a high end restaurant, NOT a village pub. A tip should be discretionary if you feel you have had good food and good service, it should not be expected in a village pub serving normal pub food, not everyone can afford to leave a tip which would otherwise make this pub a reasonable price and no one should feel the embarrassment of having to request it is taken off if they can’t pay it or do not agree with the service charge. In general the food on our table was good except the lasagne which was extremely thin and overdone. The lasagne is so thin with only 2 pasta sheets and barely any meat so all you taste is melted cheese and it was dried out, and as a result it was unpleasant and not as nice as other places who serve deep lasagnes. We will give it another go at some stage but do object to a service charge being automatically put on the bill"

Kings Park Hotel ★★★
"I’ve just spent a week at the Royal Park Hotel. I normally don’t do reviews, good or bad, but, following my stay I feel I must. I would highly recommend the Royal Park Hotel to anyone looking for a nice reasonably priced place to stay in Retford. The hotel is perfectly located on the edge of the town centre, and is only a very short walk to everything, Kings Park, pubs, restaurants, gyms, and Asda. The hotel is well presented, and the staff owners are warm and friendly."

"Super experience at the Lawns yesterday, Quasim a polite professional and caring host, parked our car for 16 days. Nice secure location and stayed overnight upon our return to UK. Clean comfortable room. Super fresh breakfast of poached eggs on toast and filter coffee. Plenty of other items for those who want cereal and fruit etc. most definitely stay again when flying from Gatwick which is 5 mins away. Thank you for looking after snowy 😊"

The Boat Inn Hayton ★★
"What a fabulous establishment this is. Its a wonderful little gem off the beaten track. This was our first visit, and we received a very warm welcome from Cat and Mihaela. We we're early, and had to wait for them to open. Mihaela was fully prepared and explained the kitchen want open just yet, but that was fine by us as we weren't in a rush. They are wonderful hosts, and are a lovely couple. We were visiting my husbands Mother, and brought her here for a lunchtime treat which was her first time too, and what a treat we had. The food is fresh and plentiful for the average appetite, and very reasonably priced. If you haven't been here before, I promise you won't be disappointed. It's a wonderful setting on a nice day, and the interior is clean, fresh and bright. They obviously take great pride in what they do, and are very professional. Great Chef too. Our order was fish and chips, the kebab style 'smalls', and a perfect seafood linguine. Just superb, and can't wait to go back. Sadly we live down South, and the Boat Inn is up North. Luckily we have family in Retford and will visit here for lunch next time we return. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience, and for your hospitality. Keep up the good work, and thank you again. Gill, Mike & Marina"
