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.

We organised a late checkin and we were kept fully informed as to where the key wiuld be and which room we had been allocated. The room was very clean and well presented. Will definitely book again when we're in the area

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.

Nice stay
The room was a nice size and the facilities good. The check in was easy and welcoming. We had room to park and a short walk into town which had lots to offer. There was no breakfast option but plenty of cafes in town. The only downside was the bed was a little uncomfortable as it was a double but we are used to our king size at home.
