Hotels in West Stockwith

Formal hotel accommodation in West Stockwith itself is very limited, with a small amount of accommodation available above the village's pubs for those wanting to stay right by the lock and marina. Most visitors looking for a proper hotel choose to base themselves a short drive away in Gainsborough, which has a range of hotels and guest houses on the Lincolnshire side of the Trent, or in Retford or Bawtry, both of which offer a wider choice of places to stay along with easy road links back to West Stockwith.

Wherever you choose to stay, West Stockwith works well as a short stop or a half-day trip rather than a base for a longer holiday, given how small it is. Combine a night in Gainsborough or Retford with an afternoon spent watching boats work through West Stockwith Lock, walking the Chesterfield Canal towpath, or exploring the wider Trent Valley, and you get the best of both: a proper choice of comfortable places to stay, and easy access to one of this stretch of river's quietest and most characterful spots.
