The 20 Best Pet hotel in Retford

“My dog Obie is a frequent visitor at Barkingham Barns, and I am comforted by the fact that it’s a home away from home for him. He is a nervous, quiet dog but all of the cuddles and all of the fuss puts him at ease. Beth and Sam are fabulous and I would recommend without hesitation.”

“I booked the spa and overnight stay for our 20th wedding anniversary. The spa was wonderful so relaxing and the staff were amazing even preparing us a surprise dessert after our wonderful lunch. The hotel is a beautiful place, our room was perfect. A lot of work has gone into this place to achieve its grandeur. We spent a lovely evening in the bar/restaurant and the food didn’t disappoint and the service was excellent. Thank you all at ye olde bell and spa for helping make our 20 anniversary one to remember.”

“My daughter got married here recently and it was an absolutely amazing day. She married outside in the beautiful gardens which was so lovely. The food was absolutely delicious and the venue room looked fantastic. The evening food of pie and peas was delicious. The staff were lovely and very attentive to all our needs. We stayed the night the rooms very nice they were clean and the beds very comfortable and to round our stay off a great breakfast too.”

“I stay hear for work.the room is always spotless with plenty of team coffe and Chris is spot on I'll be back there on Monday see you then buddy.”

“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!!!!”

“Just for the carvery Amazing price (£11.99 at time of writing), with very well cooked meats (pork, lamb, beef) and excellent extras. Cauliflower cheese and mash got best reception with our family. Super service, friendly staff and lovely setting. Other customers were really friendly too, so s great atmosphere. Unbelievable price for a jug of Pimm's too!! (See pics)”

“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.”

“There concern and duty to the dogs they have their, come first before anything. A nice big paddock for the dogs to run around in. Staff really nice and obvious how they love the dogs their.”

“My boy Jojo has been staying at Firs Cattery for the last 17 years and settles so well there. It’s a home away from home. I’m shaw he feels like one of the family. I would like to thank Nicola and her team for the wonderful work they do to offer such a quality service so I can leave my boy in their capable hands go off and enjoy my holidays. Thank you all ❤️❤️”

“Friendly family run business. Prompt service. Please with my dogs bath and trim. Would highly recommend.”

“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.”

“We have visited a few times for drinks but today was the first time we dined. The Sunday lunch was wonderful - better than anything else we've had in the area. Great staff lead by a fabulous host and the pub itself is lovely and in a good location. No hesitation in recommending this place”

“4* for convenience, cleanliness, service and for location. We've used The Lawns before and used a family room on 1st floor. Simple but elegant furnishings, so well organised with 2 kitchens to either use for a simple meal or something more. We took our ingredients for a chicken curry and our son and grandson (local) joined us. We will always use The Lawns for value and ease of use. Thank you.”

“We always take our dog there and she loves it . It's a nice small kennels and she has a indoor and out door section with each kennel plus they are heated .”

“Thanks so much for the fab meal for my sister's hen do! We were a big group of 22 so not easy but we all got our food, which was very tasty. Charlotte was brilliant from organising the booking beforehand, sorting out the billing and handling 22 tipsy women! All the serving staff were also friendly and helpful!”

“Exceptional Wedding Venue! Worth every penny. Our guests were blown away by the venue - it’s like having your own private magical forest for the weekend. The staff were great and really open to allowing us to use the space how we wanted. We couldn’t have asked for anything more.”

“Very warm and welcome place. Cats enjoyed their holiday! Fantastic price to pay knowing your little loved ones are looked after.”

“**5* Highly recommended** THANK you to Emma for bonding our bunnies into a trio, as you can see from the pictures they are inseparable, the bond is so strong. On arrival we had a good chat, she had excellent knowledge and I knew then I was confident our bunnies were in safe hands. It was a long process, but was worth the wait, She gave regular updates and always had the bunnies interest first in terms of bringing them home. She gave us a lot of information of what to do when the bunnies returned home which would help continue the strong bond. Did everything she said and 2 weeks later after collecting them we have 3 happy bunnies. Thank you again.”

“Beautifully clean and decorated room. Perfect for after a night out. Easy to book and access rooms at any hour.”

“Lovely people. Dogs are always well looked after”
