The Plough Retreat

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.

The rooms were relatively clean, but overall the rooms were a little tired. Oh, and tv remote doesn't work properly.

Very convenient suite of rooms behind the pub. Good value overnight option

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.

Super comfy bed let down by the pillows should have been thrown out long ago

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.

self check -in ok. Very bland apartment. Heater didnt work in bedroom. No furnishings in bedroom apart from bed. tiny bathroom with nowhere to put toiletries.Fine if you want soulless accommodation. Pub next door ok.

Nice friendly pub with excellent food. Clean and comfortable accommodation that is good value.

Basic accommodation, 2nd time at this location, different apartment, sits right on the road, so if traffic noise is a problem then this is for you, apartment have a kitchen, but no oven trays, floors require to be mopped as very dirty, despite looking clean, as you'll find out, on the whole it was acceptable

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

It was a lovely stay. Comfy bed. Lots of hot water. There was plenty of tea but no coffee. Shop local so bought some.

Lovely Lovely location with two great pubs nearby

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

Lovely apartment very comfortable stay

Convenient and safe with passcode entry. Everything worked. Clean and comfortable. I’ll be back!

Room was OK, pub next door amazing Heating in room one was not working and in November that was an issue Location was great

Pleasantly surprised. Was really impressed with the comfort of the bed and sofa, and the overall presentation of the place. When I did take my socks off however, the floorboards in the bedroom and living room were sticky and felt as though they hadn’t been cleaned for a while. That is however my only negative. Would recommend to stay.
