Warm comfortable and I was as always well looked after. Parking is a pain Retford being the only town I have ever got a parking ticket at 07:00 but that will teach me to carry a high powered torch to read the signs in the dark. I digress. Rooms have a fridge, nice TV, bed, en suit kettle and hair dryer. Everything you could need continental breakfast but usually there are lots of choices.
