It has wooden beams, oak floors and even a trapdoor. It is family run and the food is as fresh as it gets. The bar has a great selection of drinks at very reasonable prices (no silly hotel prices here!) and the family who run it are helpful and really know how to host a great event. You will not be disappointed.

The dining room ouzes comfortable and classy again showing off the best in a dining experience allowing a party of friends and family to a romantic night out very special.

I once walked though the main room when it was set up for the masons..looked like it was set for a black magic ceremony. I booked the whole ground floor for a couple of years to put the craft fare on at the Lincoln Christmas Market (they do it themselves now) and the rates were reasonable. Hirable for weddings and banquets. The food is good. One of the Christmases we slept on the floor with the chefs who had to be up really early and had a great breakfast. (Accomodation is next to impossible when the market is on). In the back room they have the most amazing Grinling Gibbons fireplace I have ever seen. Must be worth a fortune. 2 bars. They have crafts and antique shows on throughout the year. Anyway this is for my ghost guide: A phantom Cavalier was spotted by a member of staff near the ballroom, before vanishing into the preverbal thin air. Other staff members are reportedly too afraid to venture down into the basement after hearing strange noises. One waitress spoke of seeing a Cavalier man in the doorway to the ballroom and then he just vanished. One of the upstairs rooms becomes icily cold at night. One of the Dining Rooms also used to be a card room where a lot of murders occurred. I guess Cromwells men came to the city so Cavaliers may not be too obscure.

A good twenty minutes drive from Nottingham City Centre, there is really nothing around for miles apart from Bestwood Village - which isn't exactly thriving. The views from the Conference centre are excellent - green belt, it provides a tranquil setting for wedding parties etc. The grounds don't quite seem finished, however, if they finish them the way they have started them, then it's gonna be a cracking venue. The interior is extremely nicely finished, with a variety of styles that complement each other nicely. Comprehensive bar, and good food
