Weekend visit to see family

The Lawns has always been good value .Since our last visit in early March it has been taken over by a lovely lady who made sure our stay was as good as it could be.Could not fault our room with a separate spacious and modern bathroom.

Visiting family and friends

Fabulous value for the size of room.We have stayed here many times when visiting family in Retford. Our room this time was a little disappointing compared to all the other rooms we stayed in.The bed was a double but we only had a single wardrobe and 5 hangers.Usually there is ample wardrobe space and a seating area.I will definitely return but will ask for the rooms we've had on previous visits. It is a very comfortable place to stsy and handy for walking into town.

Short holiday to see family

We always enjoy our stay at the Lawns when we come to Retford to visit family and friends. The rooms are much bigger than average and there is plenty of wardrobe space. Lovely big towels and a good supply of hot drinks and bottled water.Extremely good value.

Only stayed one night, but this property was exactly as advertised on the Expedia site. It was clean, easy to find. Staff was friendly and helpful. The common kitchen was well equipped, clean and convenient. Close to grocery store, easy parking.

Really happy with our visit, we had 2 rooms and be very happy to visit again. One room we had the pillows were very firm and no complaint at all on the other. That’s not the end of the world, and don’t let this put you off.

Lovely stay here, the family room as nice and spacious and clean. We didn't have much interaction with staff as we arrived outside of hours, but their instructions were clear. There is a kitchen where you can cook your own food.

We stayed for 1 night at The Lawns Guest House & it is a really lovely place to stay. The parking right outside meant it was very convenient & it was easy to find. The room was lovely & very comfortable & clean but just a little dirty inside the bedside drawers. Would definitely stay there again.

Clean, comfortable and quiet. However beware of the high step from the landing into the room; the sign was a little higher than my eye level and I fell coming in with my bag.

Short stay between travels

Check-in/check-out effortless. Apartment just what we needed although sofa was a little bit too low for us (probably an age thing!). The extractor fan in the bathroom wasn’t working but I have yet to report that to them.
