I had one complaint & that was there was dog mess in the car park far corner which was obviously old & some had been trodden in. Otherwise the room was clean, quite spacious & plenty of tea & coffee. The bathroom was clean & tidy with plenty of fresh towels. The breakfast was delicious & the staff were extremely friendly.

Nice stay, bed comfy, very helpful staff and owner. Great location Only slight negative is they take a £50 pre authorisation on bank card for room and 2 weeks on it’s still pending on bank balance.

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.

This is really awful. It had musty smelling carpeting which they tried to cover up with terrible strong cleaners. (Think swimming pool chlorine plus moldy rag.) The combination was sickening so I couldn't stay but they wouldn't give even a partial refund. Lesson learned. Patrons beware this is the ultimate tourist trap. I would've rather slept in Sherwood Forest! Sherwood Forest is definitely worth the trip but avoid staying here.

Staff were exceptional in making you feel at home. I would have given it 5 stars but there was no heating on and the room was quite cold at night. Otherwise everything was brilliant and would stay here again.

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 )

The location the room, staff and breakfast were all superb and would definitely return. Beautiful big bath. Only downsides were, accessing the room, if you have a pushchair then don’t bother! Awkward steps The fire alarm went off 4 times up until about 8.30pm ish (which isn’t ideal when trying to get a baby to sleep. However lovely stay x

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.

We found the accomadation excellent and the staff could not do enough to ensure we had a good stay. The bar was very friendly and a good selection of beverages were available. We will definatley stay at Forest Lodge again
