Stayed here for a birthday celebration. Loved every minute of it. The hotel was full of character and charm. All of the staff that I came into contact with were friendly and really helpful, doing everything they could to make sure our stay was enjoyable. The food was exquisite, I had a vegetarian option made with Goats cheese and it was beautiful. Full and varied breakfast, will set you up for the day. We stayed in a family room, which was spotlessly clean and very appealling. The dressing gowns and slippers gave it that extra touch. Nice complimentary refreshments also available in room as well as toiletries. Would stay in this hotel again and recommend it to anyone.

Just returned from a Friday and Saturday night stay at this hotel.

The hotel does have plenty of charm and character and we enjoyed it accepting that the hotel could never be a contempory 4 or 5 Star hotel. The room decor is dated but then the style does fit with the history of place. I would say that the carpet in our room is ready for a new one but the whole room was kept clean. We had an executive room which was very big, having a Super Kingsize bed and a large TV. White towelling dressing gowns were provided and all of the toiletries and beverages were of good quality including 2 bottles of still and sparkiling waters.

The breakfasts are excellent, catering for all needs and they will certainly keep you going until the evening.

We ate out on the Friday, venturing into Lincoln as the local pubs were too smokey (roll on the ban next Summer). There are quite a few lovely restaurants on Brayford Wharf with a convenient 24 hour multi-storey car park next to it off Lucy Tower Street next to the Odeon Cinema. Just £1 in the evening. We can highly recommend the Mexican restaurant, I think it was called Chimichanga.

We spent Saturday walking around Lincoln. What a lovely city. The castle and cathedral are a must. Parking was costly at £4.50 for more than 4 hours.

On the Saturday evening we had also booked for Dinner as well as B&B at an extra cost of £22.50 each. This was excellent value because if we had just booked a table and paid for everything we had it would have cost us about £34 each. The meal was excellent, they obviously have a first rate chef.
The evening was made even better for us as we had reported a fault with our shower earlier. The staff had tried to fix it immediately but a plumber was required so we were given another room just to get showered. We could have used the bath in our room, which was a spa bath but didn't have the time. For our troubles the staff gave us a bottle of Chapagne on the house to celebrate our anniversay and prior to knowing about this I had also asked for the manager to consider offering us a bottle of wine on the house. I was quite surprsied this morning when I paid the bill that the £15 bottle of red wine that we had last night was also free.

All of the staff were very friendly and helpful.
All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely return though only on a special occasion as we don't normally pay this much for hotel rooms.

We have just spent two nights over the bank holiday, and while we enjoyed the break,I think the hotel is lacking in something. We have stayed at many country house hotels and I have to say this was not one of the better ones.
The food is excellent and the young staff are very polite and pleasant, but if you want a drink in the bar you have to go looking for a member of staff and don't expect anything too fancy, he didn't know what a Bloody Mary was.
We had a four poster room which was nice and clean with all that you would expect, but I think the pillows may have been on loan from Fred Flintstone, they were that hard.The bathroom was a great disappointment, this was very dated and really could do with a makeover, not at all in keeping with the room.
All the electrical equipment was well out of PAT Test, in some cases 2 years. Would we make a return visit? No definitely not.

Just back from a lovely overnight stay at this small hotel on the outskirts of Lincoln. Very impressed by both the hotel accomodation and the quality of staff. We were booked in on a dinner, bed and breakfast basis for one night. Smallish double room but well equipped and very clean. Lots of hot water for long soaks in the bath! Ate in the restaurant which was good and also enjoyed a delicious cooked breakfast the following morning. The staff were very friendly and genuinely interested in looking after their guests - what a change! Would certainly recommend and stay again.
