Found on the edge of Sherwood Forest and in the Clumber Park estate owned by the National Trust,…read morethis really is a superb hotel which is a bit of an unknown gem. Its recently been modernised and refurbished, and the results are there for all to see. The hotel is stylish and comfortable. The rooms are likewise modern and comfortable, and wouldnt look out of place in more expensive country hotels. The restaurant is known as The Brasserie, and is excellent. From the plentiful breakfasts to the evening meals - a variety of choice from the everyday (steak and chips) to the slightly more special. A choice of drinks and a very good wine list compliments the food perfectly. The big selling point here is the New Leaf Spa - a new, modern health spa which would put any other to shame. It looks superb, and offers a pool, sauna, state of the art gym and a wide ange of beauty treatments for both men and women. The estate caters for all kinds of breaks - hiking, cycling etc, as well as offering conference and wedding packages. Its certainly one of the best hotels/spas in the area, and it compliments its surroundings perfectly.

Slow on service in the bar (now called Normanton Inn) but quality of food makes up for it, wierd items on the menu, Ostrich burger for instance.. I'll give that a miss ;-) Worth a visit - expensive to stay here but worth a coffee when passing or visiting Clumber Park itself.

This Travelodge is located on the outskirts of Worksop, just off the junction of the A60 and the…read moreA57. It is co-sited with a Little Chef and a Total garage. It provides a room only facility and if food is required then the Little Chef is convenient and provides good service. The rooms are basic with a double bed and a sofa-bed with a pull extra bed for a child. The rooms are en-suite and clean towels are provided. The room also has a desk/dressing table and a terrestial tv. The rooms are double glazed to keep noise out, but beware that if you like to have to window open for fresh air, the A57 outside is fairly busy all night with lorries. We used this Travelodge as a base when we visited Clumber Park (which is about 10-15 minutes away) and Sherwood Forest (less than 30 mins). It is also convenient for South Yorkshire and the East Midlands

lovely stay if your visting the area…read more the rooms are a good sized, lovely comfy double bed so pleanty of space heehee. as the other review says they rooms also have a sofa bed so ideal for the kids so you dont have to pay for 2 separate rooms! a lovely stack of fresh towels and 2 dressing gowns too! soap and shampoo in the bathroom just incase you forgot yours. althought you are really close to town anyway so could have a good look round and get some nice shopping done too whilst in the area. on site there is little chef, burger king and the total garage, if you go down to the next round about there is mc donalds,another petrol station and sainsburys too which is fab. along with several bar,pubs,club around too so plenty of entertainment. a good place to stay and great prices too.

I love the old cosy pub atmosphere and the collection of prints and old photos on the walls. I ordered the thin crust pizza, the one with pesto, goat cheese and caramelized onions. I asked for an addition of wild mushrooms, and it was wonderful. My hubby got the Brie & Bacon sandwich with cranberry sauce on the side, wow, that was really good as well! I had a glass Sauvignon Blanc which was lovely, have no idea where it was from, but, I really liked it. My hubby ordered the classic gin&tonic. It was a perfect place to restore ourselves after a hike in Sherwood Forest.

The Forest Lodge is a terrific, traditional pub AA 4*, with the surprise element of a full…read morerestaurant to the rear. On the pub side, we see open fires and Cask Marque quality real ales, with 5 to choose from at any time. These turnaround very quickly and you could expect to see a new "4" on from one week to the next, seeing Bombadier as the house favourite, which remains constant The Forest Lodge is exceptionally well run. The staff are excellent and never fail to deliver. Once in the restaurant, you will find that service and quality go hand in hand, and the price won't shake you to the ground either. Excellent, fine food and realistic prices, cooked and served consistantly well. Above the bar and restaurant sees quality accomodation. Even though I live in the village, I have actually stayed there quite a few times. If you're in the area, maybe looking at Rufford, Thoresby or Clumber parks, or perhaps visiting Sherwood Forest, then the Forest lodge will not disappoint. http://www.forestlodgehotel.co.uk/

A former country house on the Thoresby Estate which is now a Warner Hotel and Spa.Sitting in…read morebeautiful landscaped gardens the hotel has an indoor pool,gymnasium,a spa offering a wide variety of treatments and three restaurants which between them cater for most tastes.In keeping with all Warners hotels there are activities from early morning until late at night and the entertainment is of good quality.The rooms are clean,the beds comfortable and the staff are friendly and helpful.There is an internal credit card system in place that eliminates the need to carry cash around,and your account can be cleared in one transaction on leaving.My only criticism is that if your room is in the new wing it is quite a hike to the restaurants.However,this apart,if you are looking for the chance to chill out for a few days in the company of like minded adults,this hotel is ideal.

There is an aromatherapy cave, steam room, dry sauna, pool, foot spa, jacuzzi, hydrotherapy jets, ice cave, tropical showers, and a nice little reading area with heated waterbeds in the conservatory with a good selection of magazines. Free fruit and water. The buffet style meal laid out for the day was lovely and a great price. The treatments were great, a lovely facial and head massage, and we helped ourselves to the samples for the rest of the day! Located in a stunning stately home with a secure car park. Highly recommended.

I'll get the reason for the 4 vs. 5 star review out of the way: our room smelled as if something…read morehad died in there. Truly, the smell was unholy. However, it was late when we arrived and we didn't want to do much more than fall into bed, so to be fair, we didn't give the desk staff an opportunity to move us, etc. Other than the rank smell, the room was clean, the bathroom was large, the hot water was quick to arrive in the shower, plentiful, and the water pressure was superb. My husband and I had breakfast before leaving, and I can honestly say that it was a beautifully cooked full breakfast, and very reasonably priced at £6.95 per person. Also, the coffee was absolutely superb! Fresh, hot, and served with real cream. The staff were all very friendly, and more than happy to help. I will definitely stay here again when in the area, which is often-ish as its where my in-laws live.
