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.

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 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.

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.

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 The whole place was very very old, outdated, dirty and uncomfortable!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!

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.

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.
