There were sheets so I could do without the duvet and the pillows were not over stuffed. Good location and pleasant host.

Rhoda United Kingdom

The Tanamara is a charming guest house, and the hand of the original owners is still very much in evidence. Chris is a cheerful and very obliging host, who clearly enjoys what he does. There's no view of St Peter's Basilica or the Golden Gate Bridge, but it's a quiet residential street, the curtains are good and thick, and you can have a really good sleep. I enjoyed my cooked breakfast on both days, particularly the mushrooms.

Vyvyan United Kingdom

This property is clean and quite the owner is very nice and pleasant to talk to.

Ronnie United Kingdom

Great welcome and friendly host. Comfortable and clean room. The location was perfect for us as the event we were attending was across the road at the church. We had an awesome breakfast in the morning to top it off.

Troy United Kingdom

The location if one is visiting Retford is excellent for it is in walking distance of the Town Centre and yet is quiet and easy to park and get in and out of the location.

Host Info

Host Review Score 9.7

Tanamara Guest House started out as four flats, back in 1988. The late Delia and Walter Craig bought the flats initially with the intention of building a care home, but after restrictions by the local authorities they decided to turn them into a guest house instead. Several extensions and improvements later saw those flats turned into the beautifully quaint guest house you see today. Tanamara first opened her doors in 1990 and has gone from strength to strength. Now in her 26th year and run by Delia and Wally's son, Chris, Tanamara Guest House continues with the traditional and warming values that regular customers know and love, coupled with just a hint of the modernisation needed in today's world.

Opposite Tanamara Guest House is the Church of England church, St. Saviour's, which hosts several fêtes and events through the year. Five minutes walk out the gate to the left lies the Hop Pole pub and restaurant, which serves delicious home cooked food throughout the day. Take advantage of sunny days by eating or drinking outside next to the serene Chesterfield canal. Five minutes walk the other way leads you into Retford town centre, where you can enjoy Thursday and Saturday markets, browse the shops or eat and drink in several establishments that cater for all tastes.
