Top Idle Valley Nature Reserve Hotel Reviews

The Welcome Inn Hotel

8/10 Good

"Reminded me of Travel Lodge before the upgrade of all their properties. Absolutely fine."

Damon's Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was good for the price, and staff cheerful and helpful. Breakfast was in a separate building across the car park, but I found this less than adequate. How can anyone ruin scrambled eggs on toast to that extent!"

WILDES INNS

10/10 Excellent

"Attended for a wedding and was impressed. Rooms felt more like a bedroom at home than a hotel. Lovely breakfast too. Room was on the roadside but no traffic noise."

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."

Best Western Plus Bentley Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Worth a stay"

The Earl of Doncaster Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff very welcoming and informative. Helped with my VIP Expedia extra benefit drink, which was lovely and unexpected. Interior of the hotel is a beautiful thing to see. The rooms were clean, spacious and the biscuit selections in the rooms were on point. Parking was free and electric charging points were also free. Very happy to recommend and stay again if I’m in the area"
