The most awful place ever !!! I booked this place as it’s not far from where I live and my best friend and new husband were coming from up North to visit myself and my very sick husband who has cancer among other health issues . This place was the scruffiest most awful place I’ve ever in my 66 years of life . This place is not manned re the hotel side of it so you need to check in at the bar where there was one young girl manning even tho there was a 40th all travellers birthday party and a wedding on the grounds too!!! This poor girl I don’t know how she coped honestly. Food was disgusting served with no cutlery so had to wait and because I went to the bar for drinks with our meal’ by the time that poor girl got to me and served me my meal was cold !! I had 2 mouthfuls and left the whole meal ! I noticed my friend didn’t eat much either all the time trying to b polite so as not to hurt my feelings but to b honest I was so so embarrassed!!! Bed looked clean for them a point for this i suppose but bathroom and furniture in room so outdated !!! I’ve seen caravans and tents furnished better! No reception so no phone in room and at the bottom of the stairs a door which is left open all night after staff leave ! I’m guessing for smokers so the security is diabolical! I myself would never of slept there!! I myself would never of stayed there. I tried to get them another much much better hotel but it was too short notice. Do not book this place not even for one night !!!!

Breakfast service didn’t start till 9am which was a bit late for our plans. Room was basic but clean

Very helpful staff. Food in restaurant very good. The whole place is clean and there are bouncy castles in the garden for children. They take blue light cards for food. The major disappointment is that the bar and main building shuts at 10pm promptly. Thus no more drinks even for residents and you can’t even sit in the building which is locked. Thus you either sit in the garden or go to your room. Sadly there is nowhere nearby to get a drink etc. crazy beating in kind we were there for Friday and Saturday.

Would definitely stay again. Would have loved a bigger fan in the room. But we stayed while a heatwave was on so not hotels fault

Ok

Nice place with a bar and restaurant with a good selection of reasonably-priced food. Room itself very uncomfortable (room 8, described as economy double on their website). Boiling hot, above kitchen meaning noisy from 6.15am, only roof windows so if opened there are no curtains or blinds. Shower dribbled. TV has many channels missing. No WiFi in room except via home extenders. Annoying bland pop covers played from speakers inside and out. No included breakfast if booked through hotels.com

Clean room, great , professional and very friendly staff Wide variety of food on the menu, definitely recommend a visit

Great staff, very helpful and professional Food was great, room was clean and tidy Would definitely stay again

Lovely spacious family room, clean and with all necessary facilities. It’s convenient to be able to go downstairs to the restaurant and have a lovely meal at a reasonable cost. Staff always attentive and friendly.

easy parking, quiet relatively, easy access to main roads

Friendly staff and good food.

Always like going to Rettendon lodge events. It's friendly, the food is great and lots of choice. Easy to park and in quiet surroundings.

Have always enjoyed staying at Rettendon Lodge, however on this occasion my expectations were exceeded as I stayed in Family room number 1 and it was superb. The bed was the most comfortable I have ever slept in, the room was light and airy and tastefully decorated and everything was clean and tidy.

Check in was very easy, Sophie was very helpful and polite. I can highly recommend this venue, the staff are great and the food is excellent. The hotel room was clean and very comfortable, they even have bottled water in the room, rarity these days. Highly recommended, I’ll be returning when I’m next in the area.

It was nice. We went straight to sleep after a birthday party we attended. We needed a place to stay after event.

All ok, staff seem nice but room and bedding a bit musty. Fine for overnight, no big issues. Good value. Book direct for complimentary breakfast.

Nice place in a lovely spot.
