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.
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.
I needed to stay somewhere that was low cost and central to Retford. I didn't have breakfast. I was greeted well, always nice to have a welcome. The room was adequate, I expected no more. I arrived and in short time went out in Retford, came back late and slept. No drama, all straight forward.
Fridge in the room, Nice no nonsense continental breakfast. Lady took the trouble to show us around the old cells and how they are now function rooms. Quite confusing as the King's Park Hotel and The Old Police Station are separate but breakfast is in the Old Police Station.
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.
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.
Ideally located in centre of Retford and 7minutes drive from Retford Golf Course. Clean and tidy and excellent value for money. Restaurant and Bar is a must! Food and service were excellent 👌🏼
Room was clean, with a comfy bed and pillows, the location of the property is central in Retford with plenty of shops and pubs near by; with a park within walking distance.
We thoroughly enjoyed our overnight stay. The hotel was beautiful & the food was exceptional! Pleased with the cleanliness & the staff were accommodating.
