The Elms Hotel is an impressive Grade II listed building set in beautiful grounds in the historical market town of Retford. The town of Retford can boast more than 750 years as a market town, having been granted its charter by King Henry III in 1246. The spacious Market Square was laid out in the 18th century and is surrounded by elegant Georgian buildings.
