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 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/

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.

Once we finally trekked what seemed like 5miles backwards and forwards around the hotel to find our room, we were more than a little disappointed. ROOM: On arriving at our room we found the key card we had recieved from reception all of 5minutes ago did not work. I got the short straw and made the trek back to reception. This time i collected 2 key cards, thinking at least one would work. No such luck. Eventually i phoned reception and asked someone to come up. Finally we're in. Unfortunately it didn't get much better. The room was tiny, and the bathroom not great. BATHROOM: The water pressure in the shower was APPAULING. If you were holding the shower head at any angle other than directly about you it was hard to get the water to reach you. I literally finished my shower still covered in soap, because it was doing my head in. FOOD: Were due to meet a the groom in nottingham town centre for a few pre-wedding drinks. Thought we'd grab a quick bite to eat50minutes later our 2 burgers arrived, i wouldn't mind so much, but we were the only people in the bar eating. WEDDING: The chapel was very nice, and the whole day very pleasant. Apart from the staffs distinct lack of urgancy when serving both food and drink, even at the bar, the food was nice and well cooked. OVERALL: Looks nice from the outside, dig a little deeper and you are sure to be disappointed

The breakfast room had a lovely view of the turn in the canal. You can easily walk into Nottingham centre along the canal too, where you can get to the cool bars that are on the canal. If you go along canal the opposite way you will meet the Trent river and have a smashing view of Notts Forests City grounds. It's a nice walk too, during which we saw a family of Canada Geese. I guess it'd be a pretty handy hotel for the of Notts Forests games, as well as any of the cricket games at Trent Bridge.
