Wouldn’t recommend

Disappointed with room, cold - one radiator didn’t appear to work and one needed reprogramming in order to get warmth. The duvet was thin meaning we were cold during the night, and the bed was uncomfortable, so much so we nearly got up and drove home. Shower had black mould on head & pipe. There was a dirty towel, wedged behind the door on the bathroom floor. I went to use a beaker and saw that it was stained so gave up using anything in the kitchen.

Very convenient, central location for our needs to get to Antiques Fairs . Large, clean room / ensuite. Codes to access building and room where semt in plenty of time. One slight issue was codes given to access room had to be reset but while that was happening we were made very welcome in the pub /resteraunt next door while we waited. Comfotable bed and comfortable stay - would book again .

Great communication from the management team for the property. Everything seemed clean and tidy. All the bear essentials were there for a self-catering break. Only main food shop nearby is a co-op within an 8 minute drive away. If i had any niggles/negatives, one would be the fact the property is above a pub on a fairly busy road, so can be a bit noisy. Another would be the bed can also give your shins a bashing while walking past it, if you are unaware of the wooden frame that is partially shrouded by the quilt cover. Burnt on food remains on the induction hob from previous occupancy. The chair backs in the dining area seemed to be working their way loose during my stay (need tightening). Overall, it was a great stay if you wanted aomewhere near to Newark Showground or the aviation museum.

Basic!

All the basics but not luxurious. Check-in details not sent in advance; pub next door shut; poor lighting in main room. Bed comfortable but sharp corners on bed base lethal! Some road noise.

Night away

Apartment was nice and bed was very comfortable. The only problem issue was the room was very cold. It would be nice if the heater had been turned on before arrival.

Perfect overnight stop

Very pleasant and comfortable overnight stay. We were attending a wedding nearby and it was an early start. Adjacent pub, The Plough served amazing food and very friendly service. Would definitely recommend.

I travel a lot for leisure and work and I'm afraid to say my stay at "The Retreat" on 17 July was the worst stay I've ever had. The apartment was advertised as accommodation for 3 people, the 3rd being on a sofa bed - quite standard - but the sofa bed was too uncomfortable to sit on let alone sleep on and flipped if you attempted to lay on it. Our friend slept on the floor. Also the only toilet and h facilities were in the bedroom so friend had to come through our room as we slept to use the facilities. The extractor fan and light for the loo came on if you went on the bottom half of the room of r the shower room so these came on whenever anyone went to their bags. The apartment was also equipped with 2 mugs, 2 bowls and 2 towels. How is this an apartment for 3 people? "The Retreat" is actually a grubby room above a pub, a pub that has its cellar fans directly under your room so you can hear them all night too. I am not one to complain but this stay was like nothing before, advertised incorrectly and not of hotel.com standards

Good size and the apartment is contemporary but for me not very comfortable. Sofa was hugely uncomfortable to sit on, bed not comfy -could feel the springs etc in bed, pillow and quilt poor quality, no shelves/unit to put anything in the shower room- so not very practical. No mugs in the kitchen and mis matched plates, glasses etc. i used a cereal bowl to drink coffee!! The apartment is spacious, bright and clean and looks really good but it just needs to upgrade the quality of the furniture, bedding and crockery
