Best Western Plus Sheffield Mosborough Hall

I booked this hotel last minute and made the cardinal sin of booking it from the pictures provided, however I was not dissappointed in the slightest. The room was comfy and clean and the setting for the hotel was very nice. I will definitely be going again. less

After having poor experiences in Darcy's over the last few years, we learned that it was now under new management and that a new chef had been appointed. A new menu was launched in January and my husband went in to speak with a very helpful member of staff - Jody, what, if anything, had changed, as we live locally and it is ideally placed for family get togethers. He was assured that things had improved greatly and we therefore booked a table for 10 on 8th February. We were made very welcome and they had decorated our table and surrounding area with balloons and banners, taken in by one of our guests earlier in the day. I'm relieved to say that 8 of our 10 meals were well received and we did give feedback on the two that were well below par. The restaurant wasn't full so I'm not sure why everything isn't well cooked and delicious. The staff were very helpful and friendly, no complaints about them. The restaurant is still desperately in need of a refurb. It needs ambience, atmosphere, character, colour! Hopefully the new manager will have all this on his 'to do list'. Two of our guests stayed overnight and were very pleased with their room - especially the extra large bed! They came to us for breakfast, so can't comment on the hotel breakfast. I understand that the banqueting facilities are very good. This area is not overloaded with good social facilities and I can't help thinking there is an opportunity here to get this restaurant and bar buzzing, whatever day of the week it is. The bar prices would need to come down somewhat, and as I said, the decor needs to be much more welcoming, but I really hope the new manager makes the very best of the potential of this historic hotel. less

Stayed for two nights having selected this hotel as it was near where I wanted to be. It was mid week and therefore the hotel was not busy. Plenty of parking. Standing in the car park there are lovely distant views. On arrival the receptionist was friendly and efficient. This is a bit of a rabbit warren hotel and therefore got lost at one point. My room was a decent size, clean and the bed comfortable. There wasn’t a mountain of cushions to discard and trip over which for me is a plus. So many hotels cover the bed in cushions without asking the question as to what you are supposed to do with them when you climb into your pit? The shower gives a good head but takes a bit of time to get hot and to the required temperature. The towels are lovely. Getting rid of the subtitles on the TV was a challenge and took me a good half an hour of its you or me to finally banish them from the screens! Why isn’t there a simple button on the remote that says ‘Subtitles ON/OFF’. Not hotels fault however. The WiFi was good in my room. The bar has comfortable sofa’s and is the trendy grey (dull) that seems to be all the rage at the moment. Reasonable selection of beers etc. The bar staff were friendly. The hotel WiFi in the bar was intermittent to say the least, in fact non existent. Breakfast was good and not so good. There was a good selection of fruits to start. I had the English breakfast without the black pudding. It was okay but the bacon and sausage had the texture of meat that has been in a warming oven for a bit too long. Having said that it was very good value compared to other breakfasts I have dined on. At the price I have no real complaints but don’t expect Michelin star. I would return to this hotel should I be visiting this neck of the woods again. less

I had the misfortune to visit the restaurant at Mosborough Hall last Saturday and to say the meal was a disappointment would be an understatement. Because I can only eat certain types of food because of recent treatment with radium & chemo, I ordered the ravioli in mushroom cream sauce. When it arrived I noticed that it lacked any of the moisture that I had anticipated and indeed ordered it for. The mushroom cream sauce consisted of a mere scraping of the stuff, a spoonful at best. The edges of the pasta were dry and almost crispy and the entire meal, including the sweet potatoes were dry. I managed to eat some of it as I didn't want to cause a scene with another nine of us in the party, but had I been there with just my wife, I would have sent it back and complained. The cost of this culinary disaster ? £13.75, it wasn't worth 13 pence. The other meals were OK, but I didn't hear any of our party going overboard about it, in fact nobody wanted dessert and we left faster than we initially intended. The restaurant itself is in a state of poor decor and doesn't inspire the appetite in any way. The windows are scruffy and badly decorated with paint smudges all over the glass, you could be forgiven for thinking this particular room is derelict. We've been to several meals there over the years, largely by invite and I've yet to come away satisfied with the food, even before I was ill. That's the last time I'll go there for sure, because the competition locally is far better, with better menus and better prices. less
