Park in Retford

“The staff were incredibly helpful, I'm a novice DIY'er, they went above and beyond their job description. I came out of the shop with the right product for the job and paid a lot less than I thought it would cost. Plenty of parking and disabled access to shop.”

“Very helpful staff, always go the extra mile to help! Excellent paint service along with great stock on site.”

“The team were very accomodating and friendly, although very busy they kept me informed as to the progress on my vehicle.”

“Stayed here on Sunday the 3rd of August and was pleasantly surprised, a very clean establishment. Newly owned by a lovely bunch of Indians who were overly welcoming as soon as we arrived. The service is impeccable and the prices are unbeatable. The beds are comfortable and the bathrooms are top quality which for us is key. I mentioned to a member of staff about how great it smelt in the restaurant area baring in mind this is at 9pm on a Sunday night and he goes on to tell me it's the kashmir style chicken I can smell and offered to make me 1, at first I refused because of the time but he then insisted it was fine so although I'd already snacked earlier I decided to try 1. Well again pleasantly surprised. Fresh and delicious packed with flavour. As far as value goes this is the place to stay! Don't believe me ? Come see for yourself. Please don't come expecting a full menu as of yet as they are newly established so it's very very limited but if you trust a recommendation you'll love it. You won't get a pie or fish and chips here so if that's what your after your surrounded by other establishments that will happily accommodate your needs whilst spending only 48 quid on a room here!!!!”

“Liz served me tonight. lovely and friendly. she wore a mask even behind a screen which is a bonus. packed our bag for us in an orderly way.”

“Retford music lessons has been incredibly beneficial to my music progression. Pete has vast experience in the music industry and this is evident by how unbelievable his ear is. His teaching methods in guitar are clear and concise and is quick to adapt to suit the way I absorb information. He has navigated areas where I have previously struggled with ease and care. His professional and friendly style ensures it is always fun and I leave every session having gained knowledge. I would highly recommend Pete for a guitarist of any level looking to move on to the next stage. I look forward to continuing my musical journey with Pete and Retford Music Lessons. Great work.”

“Excellent service, sourced and fitted my tyre the same day, competitive on price too.”

“Truly excellent stay, great value for money the hotel is perfectly situated at the end of the high street so plenty of shops and places to eat nearby. The property is well maintained and beautifully clean. Retford is a cracking little town. Room came with a fan, only real downside is that the room was warm due to no air conditioning however we visited peak of summer.”

“Perfect for a stop or a cheap room. Decent size, clean. A little dated but you don't expect much from a Travelodge. Only.tjing was I couldn't plug my phone next to the bed which was a little irritating but nothing I couldn't get over. Staff are friendly and easy to talk to.”

“I had a great deep tissue sports therapy massage from Christine. I've been suffering with my back, neck and shoulders, and sciatica for some time, after an hour or so with Christine I could move a lot better, I will definitely be returning! Would recommend Christine, she has a lovely manner, friendly yet professional, and her room is very calming.”

“Warm welcome and excellent service as soon as we entered the store. Hannah answered all our questions politely and with expertise. All the staff made us feel welcome. Will be going back for future travel needs.*****”

“From booking to completion all went smoothly. Chris was fantastic and kept me updated at every step and they did a great job. This was my second visit to RT Motors and I will trust them with my car for anything it requires.”

“Used The Hive to store my possessions in between house moves. Site is very clean and secure with container easily accessible at all times of day. I hired the van to move in and out of the Hive which was easy to arrange and made the whole process less stressful. I would highly recommend the Hive and would use again if needed.”

“Fantastic service. I booked in for mot, service and brakes as they were grinding. I only needed mot and service as brakes were ok. I’d not used the car for a while and it was just surface rust. They could’ve charged me for them and I would have paid but were honest and said I didn’t need the work yet. Definitely will be our go to garage now.”

“Brilliant service. Arrived at exactly the agreed time. 3 very polite and hardworking men moved everything and didn't want us to lift a finger. Handled all our belongings with care. Waited patiently whilst the solicitors did their thing. Unpacked everything with care and made sure everything was placed exactly where we wanted it. We have used Ballards twice now and wouldn't hesitate in using them again and recommending them to anyone who needs a removal firm.”

“What a place, we came here a few years ago and had a great time then….and the site has been improved further since to make it even more comfortable and luxurious. The new tents are large and homely, the kitchen areas attached to each area are well kitted out and the amenities and indoor areas around the site in case of bad weather have grown. Will be keen to come back again :)”

“A beautiful quiet campsite for tents only. Undefined grass paddock with trees and bushes, as well as large open grass areas. Pitch wherever you like, and make use of one of the four or five designated fire pits. Washing up facilities are basic, but adequate. The showers were lovely and hot, and toilet block although basic was kept clean and there was always toilet roll available. The owners / hosts were very accommodating and helpful, and were always available to assist when we had questions. Highly recommend this site for families, young children and anyone wanting a quiet getaway.”

“Great garage, daughters car needed new alternator fitting dropped it off on Wednesday as it was only day I could get it in due to work, they were busy and said they would be able to sort it Friday I told them that it was my daughters first car and she had her test on Friday they called me Wednesday afternoon to say they had looked at it and ordered parts and it was ready to collect Thursday afternoon. Absolutely amazing service daughter delighted passed her test and out driving that afternoon. Many thanks.”

“We’ve visited this place numerous times, both in the summer and for the Christmas Santa experience, and each time has been nothing short of amazing. The Christmas visit to Santa is a truly magical experience for our little boy—it’s something the whole family looks forward to and enjoys together. There’s always a sense of wonder and excitement that makes it feel special every year. Added touches like the meet and greets with the bears, the magicians, and the fun disco time make it even more memorable. It’s a place where Christmas magic really comes to life, and we always leave with smiles on our faces :)”

“Beautiful place which is really well maintained. Lots of little hideaway to look at nature. Lots of bench’s to sit and take in the views and a little picnic area to eat away from from the lake. To say we went on Good Friday it was really quite, I would highly recommend anyone to go.”

“Visited several times for meals always cooked to perfection. Sunday lunch did not disappoint the pork just melted in my mouth. All the vegetables are fresh and served piping hot. Would definitely recommend. Staff are welcoming, friendly and nothing too much trouble”

“Really enjoyed it, didn't eat but very clean and friendly pub.. Seating outside so good on a sunny day to just sit, relax and people watch.. Do mind the step down into the pub, I've fell out of a few but rarely fell in before.. Will call again.”
