Welcome to The Lobster Pots, a growing collection of boutique hotels created by the team behind the renowned Bull & Lobster restaurant group. Combining stylish accommodation, exceptional comfort, and prime locations, The Lobster Pots offers guests a relaxing stay experience with outstanding food, welcoming hospitality, and easy access to some of Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire’s most vibrant destinations.

The Lobster Pots was established in 2025 following the successful acquisition and transformation of the rooms above the Bull & Lobster’s popular Bawtry venue. What began as a small boutique accommodation project quickly became one of the area’s most sought-after places to stay, with guests consistently praising the quality of sleep, beautifully designed rooms, and the convenience of enjoying exceptional dining just moments from their accommodation.

Today, The Lobster Pots continues to expand across carefully selected locations including Bawtry, Retford, and soon York, each chosen for its unique character, thriving local atmosphere, and excellent accessibility for both leisure and business travellers.

Our boutique hotels are designed for guests who value comfort, convenience, and quality without compromise. Whether you are visiting for a romantic weekend break, a business trip, an overnight stay, or a city escape, every Lobster Pots location offers modern, comfortable accommodation at highly competitive rates. From luxurious beds and peaceful surroundings to easy self-check-in and access to award-winning dining, every detail is focused on creating a seamless and memorable guest experience.

Location is at the heart of The Lobster Pots philosophy. In Bawtry, guests can explore a thriving high street filled with independent retailers, bars, cafés, and local businesses. Our Retford location places visitors directly within the historic Market Square, surrounded by shops, restaurants, and excellent transport connections. Meanwhile, our upcoming York destination will provide guests with immediate access to one of the UK’s most historic and visited cities, famous for its medieval streets, cultural landmarks, shopping, nightlife, and tourism attractions.

As the group continues to grow, our mission remains simple: to create boutique hotel accommodation in outstanding locations where guests can enjoy exceptional value, outstanding comfort, and unforgettable local experiences. By combining the trusted reputation of the Bull & Lobster hospitality brand with carefully selected destinations and customer-focused service, The Lobster Pots is rapidly becoming a preferred choice for short stays, business accommodation, and boutique hotel experiences across the region.

Whether you are travelling for work, exploring the local area, or simply looking for a relaxing overnight stay with fantastic food nearby, The Lobster Pots welcomes you to experience comfort, convenience, and hospitality done properly.
