Blacktoft Vacation Rentals

"The positives: the staff are friendly, efficient, and helpful, but not obtrusive. The room was nice, with no problems with the facilities. There are USB A and C sockets at the plug points. Everything just worked, so we had no need to ask for explanation. It has a pleasant village setting (NOTE - Hotels.com suggested this was IN Gainsborough - it isn't.) You can walk around the village, which has shops/cashpoint in the Co-Op shop/takeaways and pubs, and a really nice old parish church just a few steps away (it happened to be open for the weekend whilst we were there). Within easy drive of other places, but I don't think you could practically stay here if you are reliant on public transport. The room we stayed in is in the main building - this has obviously recently been refurbished (the room was good, but in the corridor: carpet and some fittings still need to be replaced/it smelled slightly of paint), but they'll probably be finished very shortly by the looks of it. Some of the guest rooms are in adjacent buildings, but only a few steps away across the car park. One minor niggle: the internet service seemed to be a bit underpowered for current hotel size and expectations - struggled on a zoom call with wifi (fortunately, this was personal, not business), and the TV buffered a bit with internet services. Whether this is so in all rooms, I cannot say. Personally, I prefer an ethernet access where I can get one, but I understand this may entail extra wiring. Would return"

"We got what we paid for clean quiet very central"

"Friendly staff day and night. We have stayed there a couple of times now and would definitely return."

"The hotel provided what I wanted which was a room to stay in. Try room was spacious and comfortable. It was clean and tidy. Very happy to have stayed there. Would definitely return. The hotel is isolated in the countryside so be prepared to use its restaurant and bar or make other arrangements."

"Just what I wanted for two nights "

"Very pleased with the hotel. Good location. Breakfast was good and varied."

"It was quiet, relaxing and close to family"

"Lovely rooms, pleasant surroundings, good food, busy but still relaxed atmosphere "

"Lovely place to stay out of town and surrounded by beautiful gardens. There is a bus about 50m away that goes to York. Great place to stay and explore the area, then come home to an excellent spa and gym. Only grizzle is that the pillows weren’t great and I think if you’re staying there you should get a spa towel without paying for it! Make sure to book any spa treatment or restaurant early as they book out. "
