Top Idle Valley Nature Reserve Hotel Reviews

Garner Hotel Lincoln by IHG

8/10 Good

"Staff friendly Parking good Firm beds Aircon poor, only goes down to 18 degrees and frequently stops; as someone with a disability affected by heat this was unfortunate. TV says Netflix and YouTube but you can’t connect to sign in Vomit sprayed up wall by front door was gross Ideal for swift stay, pub next door is awful so plan ahead or use the restaurant, we didn’t use the restaurant, bar or breakfast so I can’t comment there"

Hellaby Hall Hotel, BW Signature Collection

The Earl of Doncaster Hotel

"It was ok. Room was on the small side and underwhelming view of 'the park' if you wake early, you can see the penguins. However, the park was EXCEPTIONAL and we had a great day. Hotel was ok, There was a staffing problem with the Kitchen but when the food came out it was lovely. Hotel reception staff could have been a little more helpful when income to recommending where to eat. Would stay again, but only if there was an offer on the room price. Air conditioning didnt work"
