Lovely hotel & pub/restaurant. Would recommend. Prices for stay & food are good. Friendly staff on arrival.
The staff were very welcoming and helpful. Our room was extremely comfortable. There was plenty of parking, and the location was easy to find.
The exceptionally loud Saturday night party in the room upstairs, but after speaking to the lady at the desk, it didn't happen again. Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay there - oh, and our dogs loved it too!
From start to finish. Had lunch before i checked in and the staff were great and so helpful and friendly. The breakfast was phenomenal as well and so relaxed. The check in was quick and easy. The room exceeded my expectations as it was large with wifi so strong in the room. Kettle, iron and ironing board was a massive advantage. The bed was so comfy. Had a few beers that evening and again the staff were so polite and friendly. It is far and few between going to Nottingham but rest assured whenever i do this will certainly be my go to place. Thank you for a comfortable warm entertaining stay.
Great location
Clean throughout
Nice room
Just need a bit of maintenance. A dented wall mounted electric heater are cheap and easy to replace. The finer points make the difference.
Staff were friendly
Accessible room having a shower over bath not a walk in shower Not being able to get a second card for room 2 people staying only allowed one card
Easy booki
Lovely friendly staff had a lovely meal there room was lovely and clean thankyou
Could have done with 2 chairs and maybe a mattress topper bed slightly hard
Location, service and room were great.
They were aware that we a family of four with two young children but we were allocated a room in the top floor
Breakfast is decent, has some good options on the menu. Quiet, comfortable room and location. The adjoining pub/restaurant is a good place for dinner, too.
Inconsistent cleaning during stay; almost every day something was forgotten, whether replacing only some towels, or not replacing some dishes or supplies for tea and coffee.
Convenient location, onsite pub which is convenient for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Friendly and helpful staff.
Some days prices are exceedingly high but usually it is good value for money
Rooms were clean large and very comftable
The restaurant on site was not great for breakfast
All good
Door squeaked badly to the bathroom loud enough to wake room mate.
Clean room .Comfortable bed.
Convenient, Close to my relative's house, whom we were visiting. Also a good breakfast.
A bit of noise from neighbouring rooms but this soon died down , we passed a quiet night.
Breakfast Staff were excellent but breakfast was mediocre, cold! The hot drinks were not hot ! The coffee was terrible!
Food and cleanliness in pub! Tables sticky, not cleaned properly!
Location was fine for the visit we made. Everything you need was in the room. There was someone on hand in reception so that was reassuring.
It is convenient for what we wanted to do
It was what we expected so nothing to dislike
Clean and comfortable slept well
Nothing
Bus service to Nottingham close to town
Clean
Bed was comfortable
Pub Staff didn't seem well trained. Food was not of good quality. Grounds were rather scruffy. Others in the group reported the rooms were rather dirty with blood on one pillow
Un po' distante da notthingham ma cercavo un posto con colonnina di ricarica, comodo il pub fuori porta.
Distante dal centro senza auto lo sconsiglio
The location within Hucknall is good and the lodge has plenty of parking spaces outside, the bowman pub serves good food and drinks and the staff at the lodge and pub are really friendly and helpful. The rooms have everything you need and the one I stayed in was spacious. Can’t complain for the price I paid, the value for money was good.
The property is very clean
None
Nice and comfortable
All was good
The pub next door to the hotel is a huge bonus as the food and drinks are good quality. The room is spacious and comfortable and the shower was very powerful. Lots of towels to use as well
A couple of finishes are starting to look a little tired but only in very small areas. This is a very good place to stay.
No disabled wet room. Bathroom very small.
Excellent WiFi, good facilities free parking pub not overpriced and food to a good standard
Breakfast no idea if they serve it, it wasn’t sold to me as they did but probably wouldn’t have taken it but worthy noting. Also didn’t like the multiple rat boxes in the court yard fortunately didn’t see any.
We stayed 1 night prior to attending a family wedding close by. The night we arrived we visited a local pub quiz nearby. The rooms had everything we needed, They were clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly. Thisis a Greene King Pub so thre is a bar and food available and breakfast was plentiful served in the bar/restuarant. Met everything we needed and made for a relaxing time getting ready to attend the event. Perfect for our needs
Can't think of anything that negatively impacted on our stay. This was a one night stay and evrything we expected and needed was catered for.
Clean, helpful staff, perfect for short stay
Room was very hot, although windows did open and a s.mall fan was available.
Rooms are in a separate secure building to the pub. The room was spotless and the king sized bed was extremely comfortable.
Waited ten minutes for reception staff in the morning…..I gave up in the end and requested an invoice via email which they did that morning.
The shower was nice
Small room not very nice, looked grubby
Location
The room smelt like raw sewage when we entered
location to where i needed to be plenty of parking electric power points
room was next to entrance to rooms when someone walks by could here their conversations
Good staff and clean facilities
Good size rooms.. Friendly staff.. Easy access.. Ev charging and plenty of parking, easy to find.
Breakfast in the pub... Not good value in teems of the full english was £4 more than the kids breakfast but it was exactly the same size except the full english had a mushroom. Was small portions for an adult.
The room was clean and spacious, we only stayed 1 night, but the bed was very comfortable, and the young man on the night shift front desk was very friendly and helpful. we paid to have the breakfast which was excellent, in choice and value.
everything was good
Breakfast was OK, nothing special.
Food quality could have been better.
Price, location
Needs a little TLC
Excellent hotel we have stayed here many times and it is always excellent with great staff and very comfortable accommodation and an added bonus is the restaurant adjacent the food went a bit downhill last year but it has now improved we will definitely book again when we are next in the area.
Love friendly staff Nice room
Good location, all needs catered for
Nothing to dislike, good value for money
Location
Dirty run down, restaurant poor couldn’t cook scrambled eggs without a microwave.
Where the location was
Finding the room of tobacco smells, and the smoke detector was missing??? but we were moved to another room.
Rooms were spacious, clean, and perfect for out needs! Really reasonably priced, too! Friendly and welcoming staff. Added bonus of a 20% discount for guests when buying food in the pub...and the food was really good!
No complaints at all!
The room however in this weather, aircon would be a bonus.
Staff are too busy. Had to ring to have someone come to the recption. As there was a queue of us waiting to check in and still it took agaes for someone to come.
As always an excellent stay 👍
Good location, large room, breakfast excellent, pub next door a bonus and staff excellent and friendly.
Only complaint, I think it’s overpriced.
Everything was good but it was really hot and we only had a fan in our room which didn't seem to cool the room down much at all
Air con
Does not cater for disabled people very well.

Friendly, helpful staff, convenient for getting into city, but nice and quiet location. Electric car charging was good - and was spaces avaialbele throughout stay

Well located. Quiet. Nice restaurant

Friendly Staff.
Toilets in restaurant area were in a poor condition. Cracked wc. The hotel has been allowed to deteriorate in the last few years. No aircon.
Nice location 20 mins from the city centre, liked the American motel feel to the rooms and the adjacent pub has a nice big garden
No air con
Location off the M1
Building and rooms all looked tired. Very slow service in the pub even though it was not busy.
Reasonable price, great location
Wi-Fi is poor
Full English lovely
Room was clean and bed was comfy
Took 15 mins for someone to turn up at reception when booking in. Bar closed 30mins early to what it said online open close times. Checked out at 9am, asked at reception if we had to book a breakfast or just walk over, she said we could walk in, packed car then went to bar for some food waited again 5 mins for someone to show up and they said they stopped serving breakfast at 9am!! That is crazy even mcdonalds is at least 11am!!! Also they have signal blocker in rooms so you cannot use your phones!!! Nice Cheep room, dont expect ANYTHING els.
The only thing is no Aircon which I am glad we are not there this week but the receptionist gave us a large fan which really helped
The staff were excellent very helpful and nothing was too much bother ….. the room was very clean
The bed was very uncomfortable very hard
Worked out as a good location for us staying near friends and we are looking at booking it again
Loved how quiet / peaceful it was as it wasn't near the pub it was around the back! Staff all super lovely, friendly and helpful! It was just such a good little stay and we both had a great time!
The only thing that bothered us was in our room where the single bed was under the window, there was a night light/security light right outside of the window which did let a lot of light in and was very bright!! Unfortunately we were not able to turn it off as it was a security light but we were offered a cover but don't think that would have helped
Easy check in. Friendly staff.
Very close to where my family live
Wasn’t overly clean and room was situated right next to reception so very noisy
Price, location
Breakfast and good price
The Saturday night party at the green king pub opposite our room. This went on untill 11:30 and was noisy with people dancing outside with the pub doors wide open.
Very comfortable bed Close to the pub
Nice easy location
Not much
Sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt. Das Hotel bietet eine gute Ausstattung, die Zimmer waren sauber und gepflegt. Das Personal war freundlich, hilfsbereit und stets zuvorkommend. Insgesamt haben wir uns sehr wohlgefühlt und können das Hotel gerne weiterempfehlen.
Good location
Dated in places,
Friendly staff, easy access, room was comfortable and clean
All was good with my stay
Clean comfortable room with good facilities for the price. A relaxed place to stay. It felt quite secure as there was a door chain on the door. Good value
Reception was absent when I arrived and the call button didn't work. Had to remind them to put shower gel in the room.
Central location for what I needed staff all welcoming and friendly room nice and clean
I had room service on the first night I stayed and they bought my dessert half way through as I was eating my dinner so the dessert was nearly cold when I got to eat it,they would not have done this had I been in the restaurant so don't know why they did it when I had it in my room.
The location was get for us. Was easy to get to and the restaurant was well priced with good food
Had to press the call button for the receptionist to come and after 20 mins I went looking for them. Four out the buzzer was broken. The reception was maned all the time
Good location, good facilities clean & friendly staff
