Retford is situated between the River Idle & Chesterfield Canal and makes a good base for exploring these and the nearby Idle Valley Nature Reserve. We were actually staying overnight as we were at an event at Retford Little Theatre which I can also recommend. The market place is quite impressive with it's war memorial and selection of old buildings. There are the usual eateries, charity shops and discounts stores as well of a selection of pubs. I can highly recommend the Idle Valley Tap if you are into your craft beers/real ales.

Just an overnight stay in the old Police Station where I worked years ago, in the town I lived in for 23yrs. Visiting friends. The town still has character, with an attractive market square. There are an array of varied eating options, from budget to quality restaurants. The hotel itself is conveniently placed in the centre of town next to the large and pleasant Kings Park.

Retford is a charming market town with an antique market on a Friday and general market on a Saturday with plenty of local shops to browse.
There are plenty of excellent restaurants , particularly the lounge at Rhondo where fantastic breakfast is served , in fact fantastic food all round. It is exceptional for anyone with allergies with dedicated staff and kitchen especially gluten free. With Cumber national trust park not far away and of course the local craft company Indigoblu it’s a great place to visit. It’s small enough to get around easily and more than it’s fair share of great restaurants ie Gurka on a sun night for a buffet, Italian called the herbalist which does outstanding garlic bread and freshly cooked food. The sun inn is brilliant and quality food. The only confusing thing is all the places and restaurants seem to have two names! Enjoy 😊

The central area of Retford around the Market Square is quite historic and attractive. There are a limited number of good places to eat. The best (imo) is Spencers on the Square which is in a lovely old building that was an Auction House. I also went to the Brew Shed, which has good local beers but the food is only average. It was very busy.

Small clean Market town with a good monthly Farmers Market.
Small clean Market town with a good monthly Farmers Market. Wife enjoyed the stroll down the main shopping street but my wallet didn;t The bars for real ale we visited were all served a variety of well kept ales. Ate in the italian ( Dantes ) which was excellent. Would recommend booking in advance if possible.
Hillcrest was perfect for us - especially being just up the road from our friends in Retford. There are gorgeous views from the cottage, and the garden was perfect for our dog to run around and let off steam in. Mindful of the locals (aka sheep), we loved the long walks following the bridleways starting just over the road. The cottage itself is comfortable and warm. Nicola, just next door, was the perfect host and made us feel very welcome.
Joe was an excellent easy going and interesting host. Made to feel so welcome without being intrusive. Went above and beyond to entertain over weekend, even playing table tennis.
Excellent facilities to cook own meals and plenty of fridge space.
Safe parking directly outside. Quiet location.
Bedroom very comfortable. Bathroom and Shower excellent in double ensuite.
Very close to market town of Retford.
The location was in the town centre but you wouldn’t know it. Everything was 1 min walk away.. Apartment was huge and very comfortable..Probably the best mattress in the world! The courtyard parking was secure behind solid wooden gates.. Jon and Lisa were fantastic hosts and nothing was too much trouble.. Will definitely try to book next time I am in Retford.
Spacious room. Clean crisp bedding and soft towels. Tea coffee biscuits in room. Fantastically helpful staff. Good fair prices menu. Minutes walk from town yet quiet from traffic - see negative comments below. Plenty of free parking. Easy to find via satnav. just off the A1M so great for the North as a halfway stop. Lovely gardens. Breakfast fine.
Beautiful hotel and building and the room was stunning - it really exceeded my expectations. Breakfast was lovely and the building grounds were also beautiful- the room was lovely and clean and the condiments in the room were top quality. Lovely quiets rooms and the bathroom and bath is just stunning. Would stay here again and recommend!
A lovely guest house with all the amenities we needed. Good sized family room - we were 2 adults and 1 child and had plenty of space - and useful to have the communal kitchen to use too. Comfortable night and the fans in the room came in very useful in the heat! Really great location for what we needed too.
The cabin is set in beautiful surroundings and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The welcome pack was really thorough and useful. My kids absolutely loved the zip line and small play area and the location was fab for the ice cream farm, local park, going into Retford and Sherwood Forest.
Hillcrest is very welcoming as are its hosts. It is warm, comfortable and surprisingly spacious. It is sunny and light filled and is tastefully furnished and equipped. Peacefully located in a charming small village, Hillcrest has wonderful views over surrounding countryside and its own large garden.
Hotel was very accommodating I mentioned I could be late and may not make the check in time so they left the key in a key locker for me. Staff at the pub was very helpful too. All in all if you ever in the area I would recommend getting a room here.
Excellent choice for breakfast, Food was cooked well and with generous portions. Great location and easy car parking. Retford is a pleasant town with a vibrant high street and with in easy reach of a variety of interesting places to visit.
Charming accommodative staff, good food, excellent value for money. Very relaxed atmosphere for family group. Rooms are in old stable block, so away from main pub area . Beautiful view over the canal, especially at sunset.
Excellent breakfast and location. Brilliant staff all courteous, friendly and professional. Billy, the restaurant manager was exceptional as were the hotel receptionists in providing us with an extra night's stay.
