The Bowman by Greene King Inns

What a gem this hotel is. Just back from a short break visiting friends and I have to say this hotel is lovely and clean. The staff are lovely and the room was cleaned while I was there. Check in and check out was quick and easy. The bar was also lovely and the food was nasty

This place has the nicest atmosphere like a big family ..the staff are lovely and friendly.. rooms are pristine ..the food is gorgeous and a great price ..the whole place is maintained really well, I will definitely stay here again very soon

I've been a few times now for food with family and never been disappointed. great food and drink menu loads of variety for all ages. staff welcoming also on hand to help would highly recommend special thanks to Nicola and the rest of the staff see you again soon

Hi, on arrival we were given room 1, when we opened the door we were met with damp and mould smell, the bathroom tiles in the shower were coming away from the wall. The gentleman at reception was really accommodating, extremely helpful and moved us. Really helpful the staff here. Accommodation carpets had marks on by side of the bed so no bare feet on carpets, the place needs some money spent on it but for 42 a night if your not fussy then great. For me felt like it a place to party or a night for jiggy jiggy. It reminded me of butlins. We spent 2 nights here and that was enough. The staff are super friendly and seem to bent over for your needs. If I was 20 I be back

Staff are so friendly and welcoming the food is so worth the price definitely be coming back again the hotel was very worth the money as well a home from home the location was great not to far out of the way bus stop right out side for easy access to the city centre

Stopped off here on a road trip. Amazingly quiet and clean. Staff were welcoming. Great to be able to charge devices without adapters. Good pub next door. Although Greenkings, vegan menu seems to be disappearing, also need training in what they do have left on the menu

Stayed 1 night as a treat post Queens Medical Hospital appointment. Room good size and clean. Fan in room along with non steam iron and ironing board. Tea and coffee facilities in room and wall mounted tv with Digital channels. Shower instead of bath with wall mounted shower gel and soap. Room on ground floor and very quiet. Breakfast is served in Sizzling Pub across the carpark, cooked and or Contiental available. Pub good choice for evening meal especially as 20% off for staying.

The hotel on approach is very nice. There was a notice on the door to check in via the bar. It's pretty straightforward so far. The room we had was on the ground floor, right by the reception area. The room inside was OK, not fabulous but alright. The toilet seat moved when you sat on it, I don't have mobility issues, but if someone did, that could cause someone to get injured. The walls inside were quite damaged, knocks and lumps out of them. There were marks on the bedding, too. The tea and coffee selection, not a lot of choice. Only a couple of hot chocolate sachets, umpteen coffee and tea. The weather was really warm, 22 degrees at 4 pm, and there were no water bottles in the room. Took us over 4 hours to get to Nottingham. No biscuits in there either, just for a quick drink and a sit down. Tv selection was OK, so I found something to watch. The bed was comfortable, and the pillows were nice to sleep on. When we went over to the pub, it was very nice. We ordered drinks and had a browse on their menus. Good selection of food. Being a Sunday, I opted for a roast dinner, and my husband had the steak and ale pie. My plate was full. The pie, however, looked a little lost without a plateful of something to surround it. Maybe more veg, next time. My roast dinner was not hot, and the potatoes were overcooked. Just as well, we ordered extra for the table. I'm a little disappointed with dinner, off to bed now. Morning! The shower was nice, but it was a bit slippy under foot. There is a sign to say you can ring for a non-slip mat. I thought that would have been a requirement in every room. The quarter of the toilet roll, though, was folded into a neat point. I think one of those paper bands over the toilet would give customers the idea it had been cleaned and would flag up the toilet seat issue as well. Went over to the bar for breakfast. There is a choice of a cooked or continental choice. We had to pay for breakfast. This was not in the price of the room. Continental was described as cereal, yoghurt, and pastries, but when all that is on offer is little packets of cereal and milk, I think the cooked breakfast is a fuller option. Was told by the staff that the app isn't working, so we ordered at the bar with our table number. What I find quite strange is that you order your breakfast and it doesn't come with tea or coffee. That you have to pay extra for. Our breakfast came without sausages, so we had to ask for them when they were part of the meal. When asked if we wanted jam or marmalade on our toast because fried bread was not an option. We were given 1 tiny sachet of jam for 2 slices of toast. Milk comes in sachets and not a little jug. It seems that there are a few little issues, but more care and attention could iron out those kinks. Back to the room for a re-dress as we are going to a funeral today. Iron is basic. It needs to be a heavier option to get them creases out. Check out was at 11 am, which is decent and back to the Bowman for the w

We arrived early and had pre-booked an early check-in, the receptionist was extremely friendly and swift. On getting to our room on the second floor of the outside court yard apartments we were greeted by the staff again as they got rooms prepped for later arrivals, again they were very friendly and brought us extra towels and some extra hot chocolate sachets. We were pleasantly surprised with the size of our family room. Yes it may need modernising (but we actually don't care about that) it was clean and perfect for us. USB chargers in the bedside lap units so we could charge our phones whilst in bed. Extra pillows too. The beds were comfy and we all had a great night's sleep. 1 double bed and a single bed, a desk and chair and wardrobe, kettle, iron and a hairdryer and plenty of plugs, lighted mirror and a desk fan too which was a nice touch. The bathroom was clean and well stocked, we loved the bath and shower option making it perfect for families!. We didn't have breakfast in the pub but did head to the local Toby for that, but we did have lunch which was an absolute bargain and arrived quickly and was delicious. All the staff we encountered were very friendly, although busy they did their best to make us feel welcome. Having family close by we would stay again when visiting.
