4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012 NEW

A very interesting place, full of contrasts. The decor could do with some updating! The bedroom certainly needed some help, especially the bathroom. But the bed was very comfortable and the linen new and good quality. These are the only negative comments. The lady owner couldn't do enough for her guests. The food was superb. We had the best rib-eye... More

Very disappointing. The lady owner was very pleasant and very courteous but this didn't make up for a below average and overpriced stay. The bed was very clean and comfortable which nearly compensated for the well below standard room decor and aged bathroom. The curtains and carpet looked like they had been there since the 70s!The breakfast was ok, service... More

Had a super stay at the Hickman Hill Hotel while visiting Lincoln Christmas market. The charming hosts could not have been more helpful and the food was as excellent as the hospitality. Will definately stay there again if I'm in the area. Many thanks - Julia More

This is a hotel which has grand illusions of being something it isn't. The hotel is shabby and rooms are overpriced. Dining room was small and drab and the carpet looked as old as the building itself! The icing on the cake was the avacado bathroom suite. Don't waste your cash find a B&B!! More

I stayed at the Hicman Hill Hotel as part of my venture travelling around the football grounds of England and I was visiting Gainsborough Trinity FC. From the moment I telephoned the Hotel I got the impression of a quality establishment, my reservation was taken politely and enthusiastically and I was offered a recently refurbished room. The room was beautifully... More
