Best Western Bestwood Lodge Hotel

Stayed Friday to Sunday and absolutely loved this hotel. A well presented nice old hunting lodge with many features as they should be. The staff were all lovely and friendly especially one who just started that night and looked after us in the restaurant and bar. She is an asset to the hotel !! Loved our stay and will visit again less

This Hotel could be great , set on a wonderful site shame about the bedroom decor. Had not seen an advocado bathroom suite for years . Rooms really dated with tile grouting needed doing in bathroom, apart from the comfortable king size bed the room was awful needed totally bringing into 21st century. It's such a shame as setting and buildings are great. less

Firstly just wanted to say this hotel could be beautiful with a make over and a better trained cleaning team. Stayed with my family and partner hoping for a romantic weekend break unfortunately was far from that. Checked in late as wed been at a wedding staff were efficiant. First issue no bottled water or glasses in our room so my partner when to buy a bottled water to be told they dont have any. Shower in the bathroom was covered in black mould no way we were having a shower there Wallpaper falling off the walls, wardrobe not attatched from wall my other hald grabed it to stop it falling on me when i opened the door, there was an extension lead side of bed as lack of plugs last pat tested 2014!! Bedding was dirty and ripped had mascara mark on same location on pillow and duvet not likely this was coincidental. All down side of mattress was dust and pubic hairs! No soap but there was a bubble bath though no bath which was half filled with water! And to top it off my partner is covered in suspected flee bites Breakfast was awful pots with heat lamps dried out beans and eggs. I might suggest as was only a few tables for breakfast and was a small buffet that cooking to order would be a better idea. Please improve the building as has massive potential less

We had the most fantastic time attending a 'Murder Mystery three-course dinner event' hosted in Bestwood Lodge's ballroom (performed by Stirling Academy) - the biggest thank you everyone involved with putting on this wonderfully engaging evening! Everyone felt included and were put as ease to get stuck into the plot :) The Best Western team organised and delivered the evening flawlessly, with guests meeting in the ornate main bar area for drinks before being escorted into the ballroom to our designated tables. The actors joined us as guests on each table and circulated the room to keep content fresh while we enjoyed a gorgeous three-course meal presented in a timely fashion by polite staff. Adored the warm rolls and it was the best sticky toffee pudding I've had in years! The Operations Manager Stephen particularly stood out as he made each guest feel personally welcome, checked on our wellbeing without being overbearing and graciously accommodated our last minute dietary requests without any fuss. His team are visibly passionate about their work at the hotel, which made everyone feel at home during the evening. Even after the event, Stephen and the acting company stuck around to chat with guests which added a personal extra touch. Love this place! Whatever the season, would strongly advise a wander around the pretty nearby woodland walks before stopping at the Lodge for a lovely pot of tea and biscuits :) As locals we've never stayed overnight, but it's one of our favourite weekend jaunts! Thanks again to the team for a really great evening! Rachel and Adam less

Historic grade 2 listed building in a peaceful wooded setting but easily accessible from Nottingham and Hucknall. Also not too far from the M1 motorway so a good overnight stay when travelling. Ours was a spacious and very well equipped room on the first floor overlooking the gardens and the spectacular bar area. The breakfast and evening meal were both excellent and good value.Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and Simon was especially helpful. As we have family and friends in the area, this will be our automatic choice of hotel when visiting the area,. We will be back. less
