This hotel is situated right by a very busy main road so make sure your room is not facing the front or you may not get much sleep. As a lone female I was made to feel uncomfortable by the male owner. Apparently my arrival at 3pm (check in is 4pm, not stated on my booking information) was wholly inconvenient... More

All booking confirmations whether by letter, e-mail or internet clearly state check in is after 4 pm unless alternative arrangements are made. This is because like all owner operated B&Bs, rooms are serviced in the morning and grocery shopping, medical appointments, etc take place in the afternoon. This is why, when the reviewer telephoned us whilst we were shopping we... More

Breakfast was a good affair - hearty English breakfast and nice choice if cereals etc. However the location is a solid walk into the actual city center and it just seems like other b and b s in Lincoln just...

Our hosts were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was excellent. So on that I would be giving 4 to 5 stars. But the room was a let down. The ensuite shower room had very botched up DIY filler attempts which were quite unsightly and it took ages to get any hot water in the shower. The furniture felt like it... More

The hotel was well-sited for easy access to all the tourist locations in Lincoln, and off-street car parking was provided. The room was quiet, spacious and fitted with all the modern facilities. The choice for breakfast was large, and the food was well-cooked. Unusually, we even had that rarity in hotels: hot toast! The owners were friendly, welcoming and helpful,... More

Clearly negative reviews are about another Guest house in Lincoln. This was up with the very best B&B's that we have stayed at. Attention to detail such as a sewing kit in the room, trouser press, ironing board on the landing and towels changed every day is testament to this establishments attention to detail. The breakfast is first class, there... More

When I travel in the UK (outside of London), I usually stick to the well known names for accommodation. They are reasonably priced against the local market & you know what you're going to get for your money. Usually a clean, comfortable room with a bed you can sleep in, a desk upon which you can work and efficient soundproofing... More

I was sorry to read this review because the authour has stayed, with us, several times in the past with his family (twice in 2010 & twice in 2011) where he has availed himself of the 2 nights for the price of 3 offer and a member of his family had stayed in that single room. Therefore, I considered it... More

The purpose of our visit to see family and a weekend at their famous Christmas Market, unfortunately due to the very cold and snowy weather the Market was cancelled but we still decided to go ahead with the weekend. On arrival at the B & B we were given a warm welcome, shown to our room which was a comfortable... More
