8/10 Good
"The room was okay, but unfortunately there were stains on the walls and the toilet was hanging off the wall. There were only three pillows for two people, and the robes included with the Executive King Room were ripped and clearly well-used. The bed was comfortable enough, though. The staff were lovely, friendly and very helpful, which was definitely a positive."

They often provide a more relaxed setting with ample green space for dog walks, and many hotels in these areas are accustomed to accommodating pets, sometimes even offering specific pet amenities. This allows for a comfortable stay while still being a short drive from Retford's market square and other amenities.For those seeking a peaceful retreat with their furry companions, the hotels located in the countryside surrounding Retford are an excellent choice.
