“Kings Park Hotel occupies a prime spot in Retford, right by both Kings Park and the market square; its historical decor, nodding to its past as a police station, is a nice touch. I think the customizable dining and sun-trap terrace add appeal, making it a good choice for families and business travelers alike.”
