About The Boat Inn Hayton
The Boat Inn Hayton has the feel of a traditional village pub with rooms attached, offering just six guest rooms above and around its bar and restaurant on Main St. It's a compact, homely set-up rather than a large hotel, with en-suite bathrooms and family rooms among the options for those staying over.
Guests can eat and drink on site, with a restaurant and bar at the property plus a garden and outdoor seating for warmer days. Free WiFi, drinks in the room and 24 hour reception add to the practical comforts, and free on-site parking makes arriving by car straightforward. Pets are welcome, so the inn suits those travelling with a dog as much as those passing through Nottinghamshire.
The surrounding area gives plenty of reason to venture out, with golf and fishing nearby alongside other pubs, bars and restaurants for those who fancy a change of scene. Retford itself lies a short distance away, and the Cusworth Hall Museum & Park is within reach for a day out. It's a straightforward base for exploring this part of Nottinghamshire, with the inn itself keeping things simple and unpretentious.
