Disappointing

Unwelcoming front desk, depressing bedroom - my daughter had a single bed in a windowless room - quite unlike photos on the website, claustrophobic bathroom, unpleasant smell to the room's entrance. Hope to never go back.

We stayed here for a short break . We felt welcomed from the minute we arrived . Excellent service from all staff . Lovely location as 5 mins walk from Sherwood Forest visitor centre . Great choice of breakfasts and vast food menu to suit all - all reasonable priced . The owners know how to look after their guests and you know they are are well liked and respected as the locals also drink in there Will return Steve and Bridget ( room 2 )

Quirky pub with lots of different little areas of seating. Nice big car park and small outdoor seating area. Lots to do in the area. Just needs more staff, every time we wanted a drink or to order food we had to go looking for staff. Cooked breakfast was on the small side for portion and quite a long wait both to order and food to arrive. Evening staff were very friendly and bar meals good value. Room was a little noisy from bar below until closing time. Bed was comfy and room well equipped.

Nothing horrible to report. Good veggie options at the pub for dinner. The complimentary breakfast was as expected. The room was just a cramped room as advertised. The chairs were foot stools so working or eating at the fold out desk was awkward. Not bad overall just not a five star.

Good

A small, homely hotel near Sherwood Forest. Comfortable rooms, very clean. A great bar with delicious and high-quality dishes and dinner at reasonable prices. A baby cot is provided upon request of very good quality. I was a little upset when the staff discussed political issues with the guests at the breakfast. Several nationalities were called stupid and inadequate, which is generally unacceptable for the service sector. Breakfast could have been better. There is no one at the reception all the time.

Probably the best stay in the area

Plenty and easy parking. When I entered the bar, I was confronted with Theakstone's on draught, real ale, which is one of my all time favourites (only temporarily available) so I knew that my stay was going to be excellent. Nice food, very friendly staff and nice breakfast. It was my first stay, but hopefully not my last. My routing when travelling in the UK varies, but I hope I can include the Forest Lodge in my future travel plans. It would be worth driving a bit extra to arrive here.

Not great

Despite the positives I wouldn’t stay again. Positives - immaculately clean, friendly staff, lots of free on site parking. Hot shower. Negatives - the room was absolutely freezing. I checked in at 7pm and put the electric heater on but it didn’t get remotely comfortable until midnight. Also very noisy. It’s an old building and it sounded like the people in the bar were in my room, I could hear every word of their conversation. Not great at 11.30pm

To arrive for early check in and the receptionist didn’t know we’d booked early check in despite ringing days before. Paid and still our room wasn’t ready in time. In the reception there was a Labrador lovely, but spitting up food all on the floor and wasn’t cleared up at all. Food wasn’t great, greasy cold breakfast. Not a place I would return to for the price.

Nightmare

Constantly awoken in the middle of the night by the owner and staff members shouting and arguing outside room. Apparently staff member had thrown cutlery in the bin and there was a huge argument with shouting. Next night around midnight owner was at it again, this time calling his dog in. After this more raised voices between staff!
