I recently stayed here for a two night stay whilst visiting family locally. I found the Blue Bell via the local council tourism website and, after 20 years of business travel and hotels/B&B's, my standards are pretty high. To say the Blue Bell now ranks in the top 10 of the thousands of places I've stayed, is no exaggeration.. Joanne... More

We stayed for four nights at the Bluebell and found it to be a very friendly pub with a congenial landlord and landlady. The beer was excellent.and the accommodation roomy and comfortable. Continental breakfast OK. We will be making a return visit.

We arrived around 3pm and were immediately welcomed to our room which was spotlessly clean and well equippped. Provided in the room was an abundant supply of teas, coffees, hot chocolate as well as a continential breakfast for the next morning consisting of danish pastries, fruit juice, yoghurts and fruit which lasted us well until mid afternoon.

The hosts were very friendly indeed, The rooms were spotlessly clean and very well furnished. We loved the fact that the continental breakfast was already in your room for the next morning. A small fridge was supplied to keep milk and drinks cool. We had an enjoyable stay overall and would definitely recommend it to others.

I chanced upon the Bluebell while looking for somewhere to stay, and it was the best "chanced upon" that I've had yet. A regular traveller to the Retford area, the Bluebell is now firmly my favourite of all the places I've stayed. The rooms are incredibly clean, and are well fitted out with very comfortable beds. Everything looks brand new.... More

I went to stay there lately and i was given a lift by the owner Iwan from Retford. Very clean room and great place to stay. Would recommend this place to anyone.

We came across this gem of a bed and breakfast via the Bassetlaw Tourist Information Centre. Excellent location with friendly country pub, great rooms and a 5* star service throughout. Would definately recommend and will stay again if in the local area.
