Thoresby Park — Attraction in Newark and Sherwood

I have visited Warners Holme lacy on two previous occassion, and both times, very good experiences. Sadly, unable to say the same for my visit to Thoresby. On a positive Note, House staff were courteous, polite and welcoming. My room accommodation was excellent and the hall and gardens were very impressive. Restaurant service and food choices not so good. My starter choice of the smoked salmon and prawn rillete were poor on two occassion due to the bread being too cold and hard to bite, İ understand tge need to pre prep, but perhaps they could be remove from the refrigerator earlier? Broccoli and stilton soup, no seasoning and unable to detect the stilton, our server kindly brought me an alternative choice. We were advised no lemon slice available in the restaurant for Gin and tonic on all nights? Tables left uncleared. Staff were doing there best, but didn't seem to be adequate allocation of the area 'covers'. We ordered a bottle of wine for our arrival in one of our rooms, which was like warm when we arrived. Rooms on 3rd floor are very hot so we asked for an ice bucket which didn't arrive at all, so we returned it for a refund. Entertainment not impressive on Sunday night, very amateurish in compsrision to other nights İ have attended, there was a mass exodus after the show. I can understand there are staffing issues and İ do think possibly down to 'training issues' too but having had a very good experience on two previous occassions at Holme Lacy Hall, İ would be unlikely to visit this venue again for...

Thorsby Hall was owned by the Pierrepoint family is steeped in history and amazing architecture, not to mention ghosts, now owned by Warner is an adult hotel. Set in a farming area of Thorsby, has beautiful walks around the estate, where you will find a beautiful church steeped in history, a school now used to teach about nature by rangers to school pupils and woods, if you go below the cricket ground you may use viewing platforms to see the deer, you can also see them from the ground, when they come to that part of the woods. The courtyard has some unique shops, a theatre, war museum & cafe. On site available cycle hire, segway and birds of prey. Thorsby hosts some exciting events, that can be emailed through or look online. If bringing 4 legged family they MUST be kept on leads at all time, because of livestock, but welcome. I walk my dogs here often. Payment for parking all day is a mere £3.50, lesser payments for shorter visits, able to pay by card, bring a picnic or stay in the area for a long weekend. Follow the walks made by Robin Hood & his merry men. A legend where named people existed and their graves can be seen today. Walks across the North of Nottinghamshire, linking Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire & even parts of Yorkshire! So buy your bows and arrows, dress in Lincoln Green and explore the trails of history! Stay late, the Hall looks amazing lit...

Visit spoilt by chaos in restaurant. We were ttold we were in Market Kitchenrestaurant which did not exist. Signage to Sherwood Restaurant was inadequate, resulting in guests wondering around trying to get to the restaurant before dying from hunger. Biggest problem was not being alloted a table for the duration of our stay, resulting in being put in various parts of the restaurant at each meal; given table already allocated to other guests and on one occasion, having been allocated a table, found other guests sitting at the table when we returned from getting food from the carvery. We were informed that reallocation was necessary due to three coach parties. But several coaches is not unusual at other Warner sites and we have never had to change tables each meal time before. Humans generally dislike change and guests get to know fellow guests and their waiter. Food and room service was very good. Entertainment was excellent. Visiting entertainers were...
