8/10 Very good

Friendly and Comfortable

You check in at the tavern and the rooms are in the lodge at the rear of the property. Everyone was really friendly, the room was very clean and the bed really comfortable. Would recommend staying here if you need somewhere to stay in the area.
Stuart, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay at the Don

Warm welcome, spacious room with fresh milk and water in bedroom fridge, so much nicer than little uht pots. Good value, well cooked meal in the bar with excellent real ale. Breakfast served within flexible timeframe and was again, very nicely cooked and plentiful. Would stay here again.
Stephen, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Comfortable little bolt-hole, just what I was looking for and needed. Will be using again.

6/10 Good

Quiet

Quiet friendly place with food that wasn't bad. Off the beaten track but that suited me. A very cold night and even with extra heater was still nippy. Couldn't recommend in winter.

River Don Review

Easy check in at the bar and a friendly welcome. Car park was big enough to find a space at the rear. Room was clean and cosy, and I slept soundly. DIY breakfast in the room, though hot meals available for those planning a longer stay. Good, honest establishment and great value for money.
Dennis, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Comfortable, great food, good value!

I've stayed here before, so i expected it to be good, and it was. A comfortable single room, with a well-lit desk for doing some work. The evening meal was excellent! (Unfortunately I was unable to have breakfast, but i know it would have been good.)
Martin, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great room, fabulous food, warm welcome.

Warm friendly staff, comfortable stair-free quiet lodge room with TV and mini fridge+freezer, chilled milk + litre water carafe, tea/coffee/biscuits, hairdryer and clean bedding/shower en-suite. Comfortable king size bed. Excellent parking and fabulous freshly cooked full English with options breakfast (also with fruit, cereal, yogurt, juice, tea/coffee, white/brown toast and choice of jams/honey) included. Will definitely stay here again when in area.
John, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Received a warm welcome from the owners and staff at The River Don Tavern. Had a lovely meal, well cook with generous portions. Good size room with large bed, plenty of tea, coffee, chocolate and biscuits. Good breakfast supplied. Shower a bit dated, but clean with plenty of hot water. Spacious car park. Quiet farming village with safe walks for our dog. Enjoyed our stay.
Dean, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

When we arrived, the restaurant was closed for reasons beyond their control, but they helped us order takeaway, which we ate in their pub.
Mark, 1-night trip

River Don Tavern - Not up to scratch

Needs to make it clearer in the details that the restaurant does not operate on a Monday (and no local takeaways) & that the breakfast is sort of continental in the room. Single room in main building is small but adequate, small fridge (but noisy). Bed not very comfy. Will not be staying here again
Kevin, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Not as good as the rating

The staff in the pub were very welcoming. The accommodation is not in the pub but in a separate building at the back of the car park. The building has four, ground storey bedrooms. The bed linen was a yellowish colour and the bed not very comfortable. The room was rather dated ad tired looking, really not sure how this location got a 'superb' rating.
N, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

I tried to cancel this booking but was unable to and Hotels.com isnt very helpful when trying to do this. I spoke with the property owner and he was unable to cancel the booking either.
