Top Idle Valley Nature Reserve Hotel Reviews

WILDES INNS

10/10 Excellent

"Had a lovely stay here the food was amazing,the room was very clean and the staff were very helpfull and and friendly."

The Forest Lodge

8/10 Good

"The room was nice and very handy fir the family wedding we were attending. We booked a twin room which worked out well as the beds were in semi separate areas. I was disappointed with breakfast as poached eggs weren't available and I don't like scrambled. There were cereals, yogurts, apples and pears which for £15 didn't seem to be the variety I was hoping for as I'm a big breakfast fan. If you're a meat eater my adult children said the full breakfast was nice."

Damon's Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was good for the price, and staff cheerful and helpful. Breakfast was in a separate building across the car park, but I found this less than adequate. How can anyone ruin scrambled eggs on toast to that extent!"

Woodcocks, Lincoln by Marston's Inns

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here many times. Always clean and tidy with pleasant team"

Mosborough Hall Hotel, BW Signature Collection

10/10 Excellent

"All staff encountered were extremely helpful, polite and very professional. Fantastic grounds. Good choice for a evening meal as well as a wide selection for breakfast. Will definitely stay again."

Lock Keeper, Worksop by Marston's Inns

8/10 Good

"Room was clean and comfortable, although there was nowhere to hang coats/clothes (there was no hanging rail). The pedestrian route to the restaurant was a bit dark in places. Generally a good overall stay."

Best Western Plus Bentley Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Worth a stay"

The Earl of Doncaster Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff very welcoming and informative. Helped with my VIP Expedia extra benefit drink, which was lovely and unexpected. Interior of the hotel is a beautiful thing to see. The rooms were clean, spacious and the biscuit selections in the rooms were on point. Parking was free and electric charging points were also free. Very happy to recommend and stay again if I’m in the area"

Ringwood Hall Hotel & Spa, BW Signature Collection

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and bed comfy. BBC tv coverage bad. Bathroom needs upgrading. Room 115. Breakfast good but chaotic - there was not enough info on ordering various items and what order to move around the various item tables. Finding staff to take order not easy. Staff were v pleasant. Reception staff excellent Didn’t use any spa facilities so can’t comment. Overall impression that the whole building needs attention. Very good position for Chesterfield."
