Top Idle Valley Nature Reserve Hotel Reviews

Ringwood Hall Hotel & Spa, BW Signature Collection

8/10 Good

"The staff were the best part of the hotel. Clearly someone is good at hiring. Physically, almost everything was a bit crooked and broken (including the door safety lock in our room, Ashover Suite). The Hamburger was disappointing at £18.50, given that it was clearly a frozen burger and cheap supermarket quality. The room was cold, and we could not figure out how to turn on the radiator, so i slept with my clothes on. The room was nice and grand, and i had a lovely hot bath in the morning. All in all we had a great trip and would use the hotel again if attending something nearby."

Damon's Hotel

8/10 Good

"A we"

Hilton Garden Inn Doncaster Racecourse

10/10 Excellent

"We only stayed one night but everything worked out well. The staff were all friendly and helpful; the room was clean and spacious with comfortable beds and pillows; the food was great particularly the mussels and the breakfast; and a great walk for our dog around the racecourse."

The Earl of Doncaster Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing hotel, interior decor is fantastic and everything is in great condition, room huge and temperature great. Breakfast good and all staff good"

Hex Wildlife Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Anither great stay with very friendly and helpful staff. Room was very clean and tidy with a great tea tray, jammie dodgers all the way! Bed was comfy with plenty of pillows and cushions, great view of the park. Breakfast buffet was really good quality and lots of choice. Iverall a fantastic stay was had :)"

WILDES INNS

8/10 Good

"Friendly staff and the afternoon tea was delicious Some of the things in our room could do with being repaired and maybe a new mattress but overall it was a pleasant stay"

The Forest Lodge

8/10 Good

"The room was nice and very handy fir the family wedding we were attending. We booked a twin room which worked out well as the beds were in semi separate areas. I was disappointed with breakfast as poached eggs weren't available and I don't like scrambled. There were cereals, yogurts, apples and pears which for £15 didn't seem to be the variety I was hoping for as I'm a big breakfast fan. If you're a meat eater my adult children said the full breakfast was nice."

Mosborough Hall Hotel, BW Signature Collection

10/10 Excellent

"All staff encountered were extremely helpful, polite and very professional. Fantastic grounds. Good choice for a evening meal as well as a wide selection for breakfast. Will definitely stay again."

Lock Keeper, Worksop by Marston's Inns

8/10 Good

"Room was clean and comfortable, although there was nowhere to hang coats/clothes (there was no hanging rail). The pedestrian route to the restaurant was a bit dark in places. Generally a good overall stay."
