location very good secluded drive amid beautiful landscape gardens
value very good
food did not have dinner but the menu looked very pricey
breakfast good and efficiant plus very friendly service
rooms my single was a little too small everything was in the room just very cramped would struggle if staying for longer than a couple of night due to lack of cupboard space (doubles i assume are much larger
overall very nice and differant within only 3 miles of lincoln city centre
only complaint we arrived back at the ungodly time of 10 pm
to find the public rooms in darkness no bar nowhere to have any sort of nightcap without having to go to the room

We booked the Washingborough Hall Country House on the 30th December for a very last minute get away for New Years Eve. We weren't sure what to expect having read some of the reviews on here as some are quite negative.

When we arrived at the hotel i did wonder if i should reach for my National Trust tickets to gain entry. It has a beautiful regency facade with big bay windows over looking the lawns and gardens which must be lovely in summer. It also has ample car parking which is always a bonus.

On arrival at reception the staff were cheery and helpful and we were swiftly shown to our room. We booked an Executive room which was £100 B&B rate which we thought was a steal considering it was New Years Eve and everyone else seemed to have double their prices.

We had room 22. This was a very pleasant room with its original features and big chunky period furniture, damask style curtains and bed throw it all fitted into the feel of the house - no chintz in this room ! The bed was very comfortable too. The bathroom was very large with a spa bath only down side didn't get chance to try it.

We booked a meal in The Wedgwood Restaurant which cost £27.50 each. The wine and bottles of water we had were extra, which, again we thought a good deal for New Year. The staff were very attentive but the food is to die for it was truely superb. Including the Hor'dourves and after dinner coffee we had 6 courses from the Table d’Hôte menu. If you appreciate fine food its worth going just for that.

The following morning we had breakfast in the Wedgwood Restaurant and as we were first down we got chance to sit at a table in the bay window and watch the squirrels run about on the lawn. We had a full English Breakfast and again this wasn't a disappointment.

To sum up can't think of anywhere better to return to for good food and a relaxing stay. Would certainly give a four poster room a try next time for a romantic break.

Damp cold room with 70's decor. Restaurant serves over fancy food not terribly well. There must be better places in this area.

My partner and i have just come back for a one night's stay at Washingborough hall. The building and grounds are very grand but the decor quite disappointing, we stayed in a standard double and it was very 80's- chinzy decor and liminate flooring in the bathroom, and tired furnishings. The redeming factor about this hotels is it's food- probably the best meal i have ever eaten, it was truely delicious, worthy of a michelin star. Check your bill throughly also; they tried to charge us for £50 worth of drinks that werent ours. I would probably recommend Branston Hall more than this, better value for money in my opinion.
