3 friends and I have just had a most enjoyable 5 days at the Sherwood Hotel. The staff went out of their way to be most helpful. One of the rooms was rather claustrophobic but there was no problem changing. This was thanks to Ian who worked very hard behind the bar most evenings. Restaurant manager Paul was great. He... More

We did visit this hotel around 14 years ago but we found on our return this year we were pleasantly surprised. The food was very good, service very good, staff exceptionally nice. All in all for what we paid - no complaints. Would visit again next year - value for money.

We were a bit apprehensive after reading all the negative reviews but were very pleasantly surprised . In our case we found this this to be a pleasant hotel serving good food with pleasant staff and good entertainment. The food was buffet style and eat as much as you like. The decor in some bedrooms was a bit tired and... More

Room 47 had wallpaper peeling off the wall, the washbasin in the room next to the window that looked out directly onto the fire escape that was covered in local bird muck. There was a bird’s nest close by with seagulls and gannets making an awful noise all the time. If you breathed on the window it would fall out.... More
