Best Western Plus West Retford Hotel

An excellent find for a single night stop - very well appointed room, very comfortable bed, and overall a highly enjoyable experience. Even little things like the coffee making facilities being at a useable height made such a difference! Highly recommended! less

Stayed here for a long weekend while visiting friends in the local area ... The hotel is very nice & clean and the grounds are well kept/ spotless The hotel is very close to the town centre and not far from the local train station. The breakfast was very good and the staff were very friendly and efficient , Need to look for a deal in advance as it’s pretty expensive ...!! less

Stayed for one night in October as a family of four (2 adults and 2 kids). The price compares well with the likes of Premier Inn but the setting (a rather grand looking building and attractive grounds) is obviously much nicer. Parking is plently and the location, close to the town centre as well as a Morrisons supermarket is also handy. Our room was located in the separate building just across from reception. My main issue was this - when searching for family rooms I try to avoid the 'double bed and sofa bed' places as I prefer to have a couple of single or roll out beds. The Best Western Doncaster Mount Pleasant is a really good place as the executive family rooms are huge and have a double and two singles. However, those rooms are a good 40-50 pnds more than this place. Anyway, I was quite happy to see the standard family rooms here are a 'Family room with 1 double, 1 single and rollaway for 2nd child' Of course after going to the trouble of locating a room to meet our requirements my disappointment was considerable when I entered the room and found a double bed with a sofa bed. Really not what I wanted... Anyway, it was only for a night so I really could not be bothered to complain. The room itself was okay, not really big enough with the sofa bed in situ, liveable in once we folded the sofa bed away until we needed it. The place was clean enough, wifi worked okay. The signs in the bathroom warning of the hot towel rail were not joking - it was positively scalding and I never did work out how to turn it off. The heating in the room itself was not the best but the heat from the bathroom kind of helped. Overall, I certainly would not want to return, a really nice looking place but the finer details left me feeling a bit underwhelmed. less

While very pretty, as a single female traveller the cottages are not ideal. Felt very vulnerable due to ground floor location. room was so cold, any heat you got in was lost as soon as you opened the door, even with additional radiator left in the room. Multiple problems with room all put right quickly by staff but shouldn’t have happened. Can’t recommend due to the cold but might be nicer in warmer weather. less

We know Retford well & the best western is well located . It's very close to the town centre, local kings park that is stunning, bars/ cafes and restaurants. The hotel itself is very clean, peaceful and set in lovely grounds. less
