   Excellent value for money! Nearest travelodge was £69 and this place was £49. Both very similar in terms of quality This hotel had a large free car park, but situated next to a railway line. It wasn't too busy a night time. Room was clean and tidy. Tea/coffee making facilities, TV etc. Large bathroom. Sadly no food on Monday nights and breakfast not until 10am

   Think the staff were a bit amused by us wanting dinner at 12, but really enjoyed it. When it first arrived (roast dinners) there were mumbles from one of the table that it didn't look much and there was no veg, The veg was hidden under the meat and it's pot luck what you get as its mixed, my Mother in Law didn't get any carrots but I did and it was all delicious (one slice of beef was chewy, but I put that down to the meat, not the way it was cooked) and more than enough for me. The two roasties tasted more like mini jacket potatoes, they might be as they have the skin on, and the mash tastes like jacket potato mash, which I like. Teenagers had pizza and chicken burger, I've been told the chips were really nice, and the pizza eater wanted to go back the next day. The chicken dinner was a cajun? chicken breast, but again was told it was really nice. Will definitely go back at some point.

   When we booked this place last minute on a Friday night we expected a very basic room because of the price. And goodness were we wrong! Hotel is lovely and clean, rooms are large with everything you'll need for your stay and more, we even had a bath, which we miss out on at home! Lovely little touches like biscuits and shower gel etc left for us. We arrived late and the owners made every accommodation for us,including calling us to inform us of the process to get in the building. The restaurant downstairs is a must, the pizzas are to die for and the prices are great too! We've well and truly found a gem here and we will be back!

   The bar staff are wonderful and friendly. Always there ready to serve. At this time of year the open fire is very welcoming. The food is reasonably priced and very tasty. If in Tuxford stop by and have a drink and some lunch. The room we stayed in is very clean and very comfortable beds. Just one minor downer. The room was freezing all the time.

   We went here on Boxing Day, expecting a Christmas dinner, as they stated it was cooked all through December. When we went to order, we were told they weren't doing the xmas menu. The food we did order was nice, but we were disappointed no xmas menu was on, as stated. It would have been nice if they'd said on their page that it was not happening. We didn't have a proper dinner on Xmas day, instead we looked forward to going out for one, for the first time ever. We won't be returning. We were the only ones in there too. It's not as if it was packed and the food had ran out, surely. Not impressed at all.

   The food here is excellent, we go with friends and tend to share a few starters and then share a couple of pizzas, all of which were very good, with just the right ratio of bread base to generous toppings.

   It was an ideal location near our venue, as well as a reasonable price. However, the way to the rooms was either right through the bustling bar or through the KP station. The KP station as I'm sure you can imagine had sticky floors and empty rubbish lying around. The room itself was very small but that works for us. We had to use the bedside lamp for light as the ceiling light contained an energy saving lightbulb that even after an hour of being on the room was still pitch black, with the faintest of glows way up on the high ceiling. We visited in September so the weather was warm enough to not need heating, however if we did I'm not sure the tiny broken heater would have done much. All of the people that worked there were so lovely and professional. We ate in the bar on our first night and the atmosphere and food was great! We seemed to have visited this tiny village pub on a night they had a live singer! The whole local population crammed into the tiny pub to listen to her. She sang all the classics, and everyone joined in uproariously...Well into the night. Unfortunately our room was right above the pub and we could hear the enjoyment till about midnight, the vibrations of the music and dancing making it feel like the bed was downstairs in the pub. We were able to laugh through this and the next night was drastically different, the pub was practically empty, so we had a great sleep that night. Overall, they are working with what they have, the people were really lovely! But I'm not sure I'd ever consider staying again.
