My room was very comfortable and good value. My evening meal was excellent and the Chef kiondly agreed to cook, albeit 10 minutes after final orders. Breakfast was generic and not what I ordered.

I had a lovely stay at the Best Western Plus West Retford Hotel. The grounds are beautiful and the historic building adds a lot of charm. My room was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout. Dinner at the restaurant was excellent—fresh and well-prepared. Only downside was the breakfast, which felt a bit basic compared to the rest of the experience. Overall, a peaceful and enjoyable stay. Would definitely return!
