Best Western Plus West Retford Hotel

So so comfortable and spotlessly clean. Food was exceptional. Beautifully presented and cooked to perfection-both breakfast and dinner. The gardens were beautiful and I sat outside in the beautiful sunshine - I felt like I had been transported to another world after a busy work schedule.The most comfortable bed I have slept in for ages. A peaceful and traditional hotel. Even though there was a wedding it was really peaceful in my room which was separate from the main building.Well located -a 20 minute walk from the train station so no taxi hassles or expense. Really good value for money too. I will definitely be staying again. Loved it.

Easy to find, convenient location to the station and town, plenty of easy parking, good reception, pleasant bar, large room (albeit with a smaller, standard size, double bed than the room could accommodate), good bathroom and shower. It did the job we wanted for our family party nearby and we would be happy to return if the need arose.

The hotel is set in large well kept gardens with a large patio and seating area, perfect to enjoy a drink on a sunny afternoon. There is lots of history connected to the hotel due to its use in WW2 by the RAF with lots of memorabilia to see in the officers mess and snooker room. Our room was large with a recently refurbished bathroom and very comfortable beds. Our dinner was exceptionally good with both of us enjoying the rib eye steak which really did melt in the mouth. The evening service was excellent and the kitchen presented a special Happy Birthday dessert for me which was very much appreciated. All the staff were friendly without being over bearing or intrusive. However, we were disappointed with the breakfast. We were expecting plated meals but instead were provided with a buffet style selection which was of a rather low quality considering the standard of our evening meal. Plenty of free parking is available at the hotel which is just a ten minute walk from Retford town centre. We would certainly return and the breakfast was our only minor issue.

Unfortunately, we needed to attend a funeral and this hotel was ideally situated. Upon arrival, you couldn't fail to be impressed, even in the rain. Gorgeous buildings and grounds, plus a sweeping drive, with plenty of parking. You were greeted with very friendly staff and formalities were quick. The room was very easy to find and we amazing. Such a beautiful, well presented suite, very clean and tastefully decorated. For the evening meal we decided to have the set menu, which was faultless. It tasted delicious and was well presented. We slept very well and looked forward to our breakfast, which was included. Yet again, this was gorgeous. We have never stayed in a Best Western before, may due to their prices. However, for £90 b&b, the exceptional facilities and food, this was well worth the money. We would definitely stay again.
