    The property could benefit from some refurbishment. They unfortunately experienced an unexpected issue with the boiler whilst we were there which affected the heating and hot water.

    The property is clean and the cleaning lady was so helpful and welcoming. The location is ideal and situated in a quiet village with nice walks and pubs.

    Nice friendly staff, clean room, but needs some attention to details.

    On arrival there was no signage to state what new arrivals should do. I collected my door key from the bar but in the morning of my check-out I could not understand where to drop off my key. I wandered round the pub and couldn't see any key box or letterbox so I left my key in my room with the door unlocked as I Ieft. The room signage was also very poor, the number had been written in biro and wasn't easy to see. There was no milk cartons but there was some biscuits, teabags and coffee sachets along with sugar. The bathroom was in a state of disrepair, the toilet roll holder was hanging off the wall and there was a large open gap where some boarding was missing from the end of the bath. The shower itself wasn't very good and needs replacing if it was up to me. On entry the room was stiflingly hot but I was able to open windows and shut off the heating at the radiators. Sadly on a Sunday the Bar stops doing food at 5pm and doesn't do breakfasts at all (even though I'm sure I read somewhere that it did). I visited the local Co-op and got some food from there. In summary of negatives I would suggest improved information signage all round.

    Car parking was plentiful. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The Olive Bar & Grill is very nice inside and serves a nice pint of Coors lager. The room is clean and the bed very comfy if you like a soft bed. Towels are provided and are very clean and soft. I had a super nights sleep, the place is very quiet indeed. In summary it was good value for money and I would stay there again if necessary. It's perfect if you are visiting the new crematorium just down the road.

    My only complaint is that the acoustic insulation between the rooms isn't the best.

    I and family have used The Lodge a few times when visiting relatives in the area. We like the fact that although cheap, the rooms are quite a good size and they are kept very clean. They have everything you need for a short stay, even the tea caddy is well stocked. The Olive is only a few yards away for a meal. It is excellent value for money.

    Some things are a bit tired looking, so just a few minor negatives; wooden pipe concealer box had a detached panel, some grubby marks on the blinds, bedroom was toasty warm but bathroom was a little cold, bath taps were loose

    The bedroom was in a lovely separate lodge building which was quiet so slept well, family room was fairly large, bed was comfortable, excellent location close to Doncaster, friendly staff, a very welcome later check out than advertised on booking.com (11am, not 10am), lovely restaurant and bar in nearby building, lots of car parking available but could get busy as it's the car park for the restaurant as well.

    The bar prices in the pub below changed in an instant. Example: £3.25, to £4.45 for a John Smiths. Why?

    The prices behind the bar are quite expensive. And I struggled to find out where to leave the key, albeit it was 10:30 in the morning. Eventually left it in the lodge, hope it was OK.

    The place was very welcoming, Clean, and the room was just right for an overnight stay.

    Sadly only had complimentary shampoo and hand cream (that was probably past its use by date) I was missing soap and sadly had left my own at home. I was missing a bath towel too but I asked the staff and they could not apologise enough and sorted me out quick aharp.

    The room seemed a little tired but it was perfectly clean and the bed was very comfortable. Considering it is next to the pub/grill I was not in the least disturbed by noise. The meals were a bonus very tasty and on special promo's being mid week.

    There were no toiletries in the room. Some hand soap would have been good. The headboard was broken on one of the beds and so banged on the wall every time my daughter moved in bed. Only one pillow on each bed needs two, really. There was no breakfast available. The radiator in the bedroom didn't work but was only staying there one night, so it didn't ruin our stay.

    The location was good and it was in a quiet area. The room was a good size. There was lots of lighting in the room, which was good, and it was handy having a hair dryer. The bathroom radiator was very warm. Tea and coffee provided.

    Not much to dislike the facilities aren't great but it's all factored into the price.
