Best Western Rockingham Forest Hotel

My wife and I selected this hotel as a base to explore English Heritage sites in the area. This was by a two nights accommodation only gift voucher from our family. We upgraded to a better room which was large having a king-sized bed, coffee machine with pods, the usual kettle with tea/coffee satchets, safe in the wardrobe, etc. The room also had a large curved screen SMART television - which wasn't so smart as many channels we like to watch had no signals. Also, the remote control failed during our visit. The bathroom had a large shower head over the bath which was non-adjustable but the gel dispenser was empty. Shower caps could be collected from reception as could a shower mat for the bath. Not good customer service to have to do this The buffet breakfast was very good with a nice selection of food to choose from, costing £9. Dinner was less attractive with no real options for those who could not have dairy products (lactose free only) or had other dietary requirements as did my wife. On the second evening the chef did come to see my wife to sort out what she could eat from the menu with suitable alterations being made. The meal was very limited in it's appeal, however. Overall a reasonable stay experienced at this hotel which we would probably not revisit. less

Booked a family room for a wedding. Absolutely disgusting, room was dirty, cramped and the fourth bed was a camp bed. Room was freezing so had to use a filthy smelly blanket that was stored in the wardrobe. Glad I only paid £85 and not the asking price on the hotels website. The worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in and will not be returning. less

Really comfortable well equipped rooms. Excellent breakfast. Staff very attentive, helpful and friendly. Public areas modern and attractive. Location very good for Corby, Rockingham motor speedway and pleasant surrounding areas. less

Stayed here en route on a tour to see the flying Scotsman, nice clean modern hotel, staff very friendly and helpful.Evening meal was ok..although the broccoli looked a bit sorry for itself!! Lovely breakfast though.Would recommend. less

We chose this hotel because we wanted to explore Rutland Water which is a short drive away. Impressed from the start. Clean and modern decor, friendly and helpful staff. Our room was spotless with a huge bed and a huge telly! They provide a mobile phone which is full of info for visitors to the area. A packed lunch can also be ordered which is excellent if you're going exploring. The on-site bar and restaurant is very spacious. The breakfast was amazing. Lots of choice and cooked beautifully. We ate in the bar area and the portions were large and very tasty. Our only small criticism is that the menu for the restaurant was a bit high end - things like wood pigeon and calves liver. Not our cup of tea, otherwise we would have chosen to eat in the restaurant. All in all a fabulous stay and we will most definitely return. less
