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.

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.

No longer part of the Corus chain. Had has a massive upgrade since then. Now has a spa facility…read moreand extra bedrooms. 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.

It appears to have fallen over. And a notice on a lamppost informs it is about to be bungalowsread more
