The hotel is located in the old Victorian police station opposite the award-winning Kings Park in a quiet street. The rooms are a mixed bag - some with claw foot bath and dirty crockery from the breakfasts, while others feature an excellent shower. The service is good with a welcome drink upon arrival. The location is convenient, being Retford's former police station near to the park and close to the town center. The dining experience includes hot sandwiches, and the facilities offer decent services.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The location is fantastic, right across the award-winning Kings Park in a quiet street, and the hotel is housed in an old Victorian police station. The rooms were comfortable, but I found some dirty crockery from breakfast. The service was good, plus a welcome drink added a nice touch to the experience.

I loved staying at this hotel! The rooms were cozy and clean, and the staff was so welcoming. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of the town center. The dining experience was delightful with included Indonesian dishes. The facilities were top-notch, making my stay really enjoyable. The only downside was finding some dirty crockery from breakfast in the room, which was a bit off-putting.
