Bestwood Lodge

Worst place I have ever booked into. Mattress probably 20 years old, lampshades were stained!! And bulbs not working. While place was very tired. Toilet cistern kept refilling. Staff more interested in dealing with a wedding than other guests. Lovely venue if it had a few million spent on it upgrading it. It was very tired in real life although pictures make it look nice. PLEASE DO NIT BOOK TO STAY HERE YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED.

It was a good size room for a family but it needs alot of work fine in each room they are old fashioned not in a good way the staff are extremely friendly room was really hot and stuffy even with 2 fans the blankets are heavy and the single beds are like rocks but the double bed is good pillows are quite hard but not bad the tv is small and in a awkward position bath room is beautiful the water pressure could be better. The WiFi is great and the grounds are beautiful

I stayed here a few years ago and wanted to come back which I now regret doing. The hotel has really gone downhill in the last few years and in massive need of a refurbish and clean. The only thing good about the hotel is the look of the outside. Inside the rooms are dirty and run down. The sheet on my bed had what looked like dried sick all down it and was ripped in multiple places, the window was painted shut, the walls and bedside lampshades were dirty. The Tv remote was missing and the shower had absolutely no pressure at all the water just dribbled out with the shower also being mouldy. We paid for breakfast to arrive and be told there’s no menu they will just make what you say you want which made you feel like an inconvenience. To say how much the room cost I feel robbed. There was hardly any guests staying in the whole hotel and now I know why I won’t be coming back sadly and can’t wait to get back to my own clean bed

It's great place, the staff are extremely professional and welcoming. The food menu is varied and beautifully cooked to order. Please play some background music in the bar area to give this wonderful bar some atmosphere.

This is a lovely hotel in a beautiful setting. Over the years I have had many enjoyable meals here and in 1989 had my wedding reception here.

The hotel stands in what was part of Sherwood Forest but sadly no sighting of men in tights...yet!

The Staff are wonderful, I know we might of been a little loud. Once I explained why all of our party were there they were completely understanding and just wanted to make our stay as good as it could be. Food was lovely

We had a mix-up with our booking when we arrived but the hotel manager and staff were more than accommodating and sorted effectively. The hotel is on the older side but is still so beautiful inside and out. Our room was a little run-down but the bed was super comfortable and we had a nice sleep. The food, drinks and breakfast was delightful and reasonably priced! Overall the experience was made by the historic setting and how well looked after we were by the staff I couldn't give the hospitality enough stars.

Old hunting lodge used by previous members of the Royal family while horseback hunting in Sherwood Forest.
Lovey historic main entrance, you can see the history beautiful little church attached to the building, all set in the grounds of the remaining forest.

Only had a few beers/coffee never stayed so cannot commit on the rooms etc. Partied in the events hall (wedding) which has its own bar.

Carpark introduced pay and display last year at a guess it's probably free staying as a guest.
