This has got to be the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. The room we were placed in was freezing, my partner and I had to place the two extra blankets from the wardobe on top of the duvet which only helped slightly. The radiator was stuck on zero - after using a pair of scissors to release the... More

We stayed in the 'cottage' next door to the Duke William in November 2010. The stairs were uneven and it could've done with some love, however this is costly as a previous reviewer stated. It was a perfect location as our friends lived around the corner. The hill requires energy but Lincoln is so beautiful that we didn't mind this... More

I booked by telephone for a double room for 26th November 2011. This was confirmed by a member of staff. No deposit was taken as they preferred cash on the day. I arrived on Saturday afternoon to be told the booking had not been made. A young gentleman behind the bar was very apologetic, but the man I assumed was... More

i booked this accomodation prior to reading reviews.. i was struggling to find somewhere with a family room so i booked it quickly and without much thought.. i then, went on to read the reviews.. i was concerned, but not unduly, as often people are happy to review when things have gone wrong but not when things have been ok......

The rooms were clean, beds furnished well and very comfortable. Breakfast good. It is a 300 year building by all accounts, traditional, so some of the 5 star hotels will definitely have an edge. But if you want clean, friendly and a central location this is the place. We attended a Roundtable ball at the Lawns, only a 5 min... More

Fantastic rooms for a bargain price, lovely people and a really relaxed atmosphere. Shower wasn't fantastic and breakfast service was slow but if you want 5 star then you have to pay for it. I'd recommend this to people who aren't fussy, want to have a good time and enjoy a short weekend away. More

I have never written a review on here....in fact I have never written a review for anything. However, after the owner of this place trying to bribe me not to...I felt I had to!
