Top Idle Valley Nature Reserve Hotel Reviews

WILDES INNS

10/10 Excellent

"Attended for a wedding and was impressed. Rooms felt more like a bedroom at home than a hotel. Lovely breakfast too. Room was on the roadside but no traffic noise."

Aston Hall Hotel, BW Signature Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Was a really beautiful building. And very well maintained- no easy feat with historic buildings! Amazing grounds for an early morning run."

Woodcocks, Lincoln by Marston's Inns

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here many times. Always clean and tidy with pleasant team"

Mosborough Hall Hotel, BW Signature Collection

10/10 Excellent

"All staff encountered were extremely helpful, polite and very professional. Fantastic grounds. Good choice for a evening meal as well as a wide selection for breakfast. Will definitely stay again."

Hellaby Hall Hotel, BW Signature Collection

8/10 Good

"Firstly we enjoyed our stay. The room was brilliant in terms of having two double beds and a sofa bed all made up with loads of space for us all. It’s not often you find that much space and bed in one room. The price was good too. The rooms are dated and tired but there were no major issues for us. Not spotless but not dirty. We didn’t have breakfast so cannot comment. We did enjoy a family swim in the pool. Again the area is dated and not prefect but the pool was great and we had fun. They had ran out of locks for the male lockers so we did have to have our clothes in carrier bags in pegs poolside. Overall it’s not a ‘destination’ hotel any more. I could see that it absolutely once was. But…they do offer a good rate with good facilities and we did enjoy our stay. As a family of 5 we would stay again due to the pool and the room."

Best Western Plus Bentley Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Worth a stay"

The Earl of Doncaster Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff very welcoming and informative. Helped with my VIP Expedia extra benefit drink, which was lovely and unexpected. Interior of the hotel is a beautiful thing to see. The rooms were clean, spacious and the biscuit selections in the rooms were on point. Parking was free and electric charging points were also free. Very happy to recommend and stay again if I’m in the area"
