The owners Robert and Michelle make you feel welcome as soon as you step over the threshold. The rooms are warm, very comfy with beautiful decor. The food in the restaurant is excellent with plenty of choice. We spent a very relaxing few days here and would highly recommend this hidden gem. (For those interested the PING Golf Centre is... more

What a hoot we’ve had in the last six months at the Hickman! It’s already been said but it was like a second home with the lounge becoming our sitting room: playing cards, an open fire and Rob becoming DJ and playing our requests from his laptop. Never once did I feel the need to complain and any suggestions were... more

i have been staying at the Hickman on and off for the last six months. Its rare in these days of multinational sterile hotels to actually find a place that really cares about its guest. Rob and Michelle go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Michelle is always on hand with a smile to lift your spirits... more

I spent one month at the Hickman Hill Hotel for business reason (I was working at a power station as member of the french team there). This hotel is delightful. The rooms have a good standart of comfort but the strength of this hotel rely on its owner. Robert and Michelle are always ready to answer your request smillingly. And... more

The first time I stayed here I wrote a positive but maybe a bit too tough review. I have stayed two or three times since on business and I have to say my previous comments were unwarranted. The hotel is a gem. The owner-managers have excellent service embedded in every thing that they do. The rooms are lovely, food is... more

A little gem! Michelle and Robert couldn't have been more hospitalble. They made my long stay away from home suprisingly pleasurable. I felt at home immediately and had a thoroughly relaxing time. I enjoyed real decadence in the music room and felt as though the John Hook room was my very own flat. I'd highly recommend the cabernet red and... more

I have spent countless weeks at the Hickman Hill over the last 3 years for business. The owners are very friendly and welcoming and the rooms are very spaious and comfortable. The main attraction of the hotel has to be the restaurant which consistantly serves amazing meals night after night. If you are planning a stay in the area you... more

Visited the hotel and restaurant with my girlfriend as I wanted to give her a nice treat. Took a gamble on selecting the hotel, as i wasnt familiar with gainsborough, but soon discovered that this hotel is a little gem. The staff are extremely friendly and are very inviting, never felt unwelcome and they went out there way to help... more

We hosted a dinner for 35 family members (from age 1 - 82) and I doubt we could have found anywhere better. From the moment we contacted Rob and Michelle, we knew (without even visiting the hotel) that we were in for a treat. Rob quickly determined what we were looking for and added lots of useful suggestions. He organised... more
