Room was fine but basic for the price paid and the temperature of the room was very hot with no real way to turn the heating down. Staff were okay, but had little or no knowledge of the hotel and didn't really engage with guests. We tried to access the garden (as pictured), only to be told it was closed as it was winter?? in September - we have only just begun Autumn. Breakfast wasn't included in the price from Expedia? this was an extra £20.00 for a basic self service buffet breakfast, even making your own warm (from flasks) drinks. You can of course ask for a pot of tea, but at a price.

Decent but could have been better

Nice old building but room heating not good (was provided with electric heater which did improve things) and shower pressure was almost non-existent. Food was very good and staff were very approachable and responsive.

A fantastic hotel, in an area of national historical importance. The service from everyone there is fantastic. It's a beautiful hotel where you can take a walk. You may think some areas need further maintenence but the cost maintaining Victorian Gothic style building is frankly very difficult and should get Government grants. It really is an incredible place absolutely steeped in legend and history.

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.
