Convenient location for town or if you're going to the races. Comfortable bed and hot shower, what more could you ask for?
Booked here for the Market Rason races and it was amazing! the room is very cute and clean! The tapas is authentic and so tasty. The owners and other staff are just incredible, so accommodating and overall good people. Stayed up late just talking and drinking,we had such a laugh! We will definitely be coming back to The Olive Rooms!!! :)
Perfect place for us to spend a few days whilst attending Cadwell Park Bank Holiday weekend races. Clean, compact with all the facilities needed. The room was checked every day of our visit, which was nice + resupplying the teas and coffees etc. Pretty much in the centre of Market Rasen to shop for supplies or eat out and to explore further afield. Not too far away from the racecourse, if that's your passion.
Perfect for a one night stay but disappointed that there was no breakfast when it's attached to a pub. Room had everything we needed but me and my husband are a bit deaf so couldn't hear the TV as it was set very low. Buttons on remote kept getting stuck and couldn't use one flush on toilet had to use both. But all in all for what we paid it was ok would stay there again. Ideal for the races
I phoned up at 9pm on a Sunday evening asking if they had a room for the night. I had booked into another hotel locally, but it was so bad that I had to abandon the other hotel. The owners were pleasant on the phone, and I was clearly not the first person to have called up wanting out of the other hotel! The room was well priced, tidy, and properly equipped, the shower was nice too. If I stay in the area again, I'll definitely return.
