Another enjoyable stay at Bestwood Lodge
Really interesting building, comfortable beds bedding etc.
water coffee and tea supplied, replaced daily
Manager and staff obliging, friendly and helpful
Set in restful woodland setting but easy access to city
The building is old and quirky and in parts need of updates but this is compensated for by its character and it is refreshingly different from many modern hotels with corporate decor and little soul. WiFi intermittent at times . I have stayed many times and hope to stay again.

Bestwood Lodge is a very old building in need of investment but for me that’s part of its charm. On the run up to my function I felt there was a bit of casualness around arraignments however on the night everything was spot on the staff were brilliant from the manager down the buffet food was spot on the venue DJ (Kes) was absolutely brilliant my accomadation was spot on. All in all my experience was very good and I would definitely use Bestwood Lodge again.

Staff were very helpful and friendly, if a bit haphazard! Food in the restaurant and the bar was really nice and well-priced. The bed was one of the most comfortable we have ever slept in and the room was very pleasant. There was a party in the function room below us, but there were no.problems with noise. Interesting place and good value for the price

Needs improvement
Bestwood lodge is a big old character building with nice picturesque surround but all the rooms need updating/decorating refurbishing to make them comfortable and everything working properly- all rooms need an overhaul. Also bedding - only one choice of duvet/bed linen which was very hot and so not a good night sleep.

The hotel is stunning but needs millions spending on all the faults. It is very run down both internally and externally which is a great shame.

Historic stay
We arrived late in the evening in a £15 Uber after a day at Trent Bridge. Quick, cheery check in. Quiet room, high ceilings, comfy bed, clean room, functional bathroom. Hot and cold choice at breakfast, lovely poached eggs. Shame you couldn't sit outside, but nice breakfast room. We had a short walk in the grounds to shake off a hangover, read a bit of the history of the place and then a quick check out!

The property itself is stunning in character being Richard III hunting lodge. But our King Charles room had only 1 heater working and its a big set of rooms. Despite asking for the other radiator to be switched on by WiFi it remained off all night and the remaining other was too low to have any effect. It was a cold night and thus did not get proper sleep. Avoided the breakfast as we have had two previously poor experiences with tepid coffee served from a flask.

We stayed in the beautiful King Charles suite. The hotel and grounds are beautiful as was the room. It had a separate sitting area with a second tv and tea making facilities. The bed was huge and very comfortable. The bathroom was enormous with a twin shower.

The hotel was empty and had no character whatsoever. It is a lovely old building that has been left to go to rack and ruin. Room was dingy and I could barely move in the shower it was so small. We had breakfast this morning and were the only people in the dining room and breakfast was very poor.

DON’T!!
The staff were great but that’s it! The whole place was very very old, outdated, dirty and uncomfortable! Booked a twin room but was given a double room with a sofa bed without any bedding! The room was very dirty and dusty. Bathroom was awful. The outside of the building was quite impressive though!

Amazing staff very helpful. Stayed with elderly mother and uncle who walked into reception with walking sticks. Receptionist immediately changed both rooms to lower level as no lift in hotel. Beds were very comfortable and had great nights sleep. Loved it so much I have booked for another stay in October.
