18th-century manor house on 4 acres of landscaped gardens in Retford
Dining & Lounges
The Orangery Restaurant serves traditional and contemporary dishes, all cooked fresh to order by a dedicated on-site team. Guests with specific dietary needs - including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options - are accommodated with advance notice. The Chatsworth Bar offers a selection of wines, beers, and spirits in a setting overlooking the gardens, alongside a bar menu for lighter meals.
Accommodation
Room categories include four-poster suites, executive rooms, and family rooms, all with a 32-inch Freeview TV, private bathroom, and tea and coffee making facilities. The Georgian House block houses many of the rooms; note that there is no lift, so ground-floor rooms are available on request for guests with mobility needs. Each room is spacious and quiet, with some offering direct views over the professionally-landscaped gardens.
Events & Business
A stunning ballroom dating back to 1851 opens onto a large patio seating area and can accommodate weddings, galas, and conferences for up to 180 guests. Six additional meeting rooms provide flexible spaces for business meetings, each equipped with modern presentation facilities and complimentary Wi-Fi. The hotel actively works with couples planning weddings, offering a dedicated coordinator, outdoor ceremony options in the gardens, and tailored catering menus.
Grounds & Parking
The hotel sits on over 4 acres of landscaped gardens with sun terrace, outdoor furniture, and a large seating area off the ballroom patio. Free on-site parking is available behind a security barrier, and accessible parking spaces are clearly marked. The grounds are maintained year-round and are used for outdoor wedding ceremonies and summer drinks receptions.
Accessibility & Services
Fully accessible facilities include a raised toilet, toilet with grab rails, and wheelchair-accessible routes throughout the main building. The hotel offers 24-hour front desk, express check-in/check-out, luggage storage, and room service with packed lunches available. Family rooms with a combination of double and single beds are provided, and the hotel's location is a 10-minute walk from Retford town centre and a short drive from the A1 and M1.
