Pets 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.”

“Absolutely wonderful, took my Collie for a medium full groom and my girl came out looking and feeling great! Natasha made her feel so comfortable and kept her from getting stressed, wonderful groomer and wonderful place to go!”

“I absolutely love bradlands. The one to one personal service. This small business is amazing, all staff go above and beyond to help you. They are so friendly and helpful. I personally would never shop anywhere else for my doggies . Simple the best!!!”

“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.”

“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 would like to relay a message to Suzanne at Asda in Retford today . My elderly mother was doing a large shop and when she got to the tills they were soo busy . Suzanne took my mother to the self service trolley tills , scanned her shop, packed her bags, wheeled the trolley to her car , loaded the car , returned the trolley and gave her back the trolley token ! You were so kind Suzanne and you went far above the call of duty. You are a credit to Asda and my Mother wanted me to express and display your sheer kindness . A big thank you, and she’ll be back !”

“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 ❤️❤️”

“Really great service, so cute inside and the food was perfect i wish i found this place sooner! Arancini and cannolis were perfect ”

“Very personalised service by two caring and wonderful people. The fact there is not a waiting room makes it calming for the animals. Please don't ever retire!”

“Lovely family business, great service, the staff are always pleasant. Good quality goods.”

“Wonderful people. After stressful nail clipping attempts at the vets, we were amazed by how calm and relaxed our boxer dog was during the process. Really kind and experienced people. Thank you so much. Highly recommend.”

“Great vets. Polite, patient and caring staff in all roles. Clean reception, waiting and veterinary areas. Highly recommend.”

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

“To have found Jo, was a blessing. Her kindness and patience shine through when she handles my nervous 2 year old cockapoo. To top it off, she is a brilliant groomer. Her sissoring technique, and her attention to detail is one of the best I have seen. Scout never has a bad haircut. She always look super and receives compliments wherever she goes. But importantly, Scout is settled and relaxed when she is with Jo, and Jo's gorgeous doggies. Thank you Jo, you are a rare find.”

“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.”

“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.”

“amazing vets, saw my animal quickly and treated her amazing, clearly really care about the animals”

“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.”

“Got a bargain of a Christmas tree reduced from £75 to £45 well happy.”

“Despite being very busy, the staff provide an excellent, efficient and friendly service. Repeat prescriptions are processed very efficiently and always available slightly ahead of schedule. Advice is also always available and helpful. Can’t praise this service enough.”
