“Ruined a once in a lifetime celebration”

Golf Hotel

9 Apr 2008

I visited this hotel on April 5th 2008, as it was my grandparents 60th wedding anniversary, and they wanted all friends and family to have a meal here. I was booked into a room for the night aswell. There were about 30 of us for the celebrations, and the first sign of anything being wrong was when the starters came out - they were rolled out over a 10 minute period, so I had finished mine before my wife even received hers. Also, the soup was cold, and the prawn cocktail was not fresh prawns, and to be honest looked like a plate of vomit. When the main courses arrived it was chaos. Despite the fact that everyone had pre-ordered their food a month earlier, they had no idea of how many dishes of each was required. The food came out slowly, and when it did, it was cold. Veg was served on chilled dishes, and meat was served on cold plates. The potatoes were actually cold inside, and we suspect that the whole lot had been pre-cooked and then attempted to have been re-heated when we arrived. The meat was small, and fatty, and looked like the cheapest cuts of meat possible. In short it was awfull. they started to take away the food, and were asking guests if we would like another meal, but by that time everyone had had enough. Desserts again were poor quality, with powdered lukewarm custard over a re-heated apple pie, or frozen chocolate mousse. In the end we refused to pay for the main course, which I think was generous of us, as it ruined my grandparents' evening. I stayed over, and to be fair the bedroom was nice - although very cold, and with only a thin quilt on the bed. It looks like they are trying to refurb it, as the bedrooms are nice (but cold), whereas the public areas, corridors, dining room etc are dated, and worn out, with duct tape on carpets and wires haning out of the walls. Breakfast again was awfull, cheap, gritty sausages - and in the middle of Lincoln!! Why not serve a good Lincolnshire Sausage? It has recently been taken over by an Indian family, and I think they are trying to penny pinch by serving rubbish food, by incompetent chefs. I would not stay here untill the refurb is complete, and they have sacked the chef.

My partner & i travelled to the Hotel for a business meeting, it took us over 5 hours to drive there, the last thing we needed was to be booked into a room directly over a wedding Reception/Disco!!!
We dined to an average meal in the restaurant, after being apologized to by the waitress ..." sorry we're a bit behind tonight because there is a Wedding". i take it that that means all other hotel guests should suffer because of this?
We retired weary and travel tired to our room at 11pm, the decor reminisant of a blackpool b&b in the 1970's, the bathroom window covered in mould and dare i otter the words "net curtains". the Mfi furniture literally jumped around the room, including us in bed, to the volume of the disco music being played below. we rang reception, they told us all other rooms were full but would make a note of our call, we told them we were not going to pay, the Birdie song Karma chameleon/baggy trousers went on untill 1:10am, we had to travel back later that day. Breakfast was a sorry affair, no welcome hardly any food left on the self service, no staff ....very poor.
We made our feelings known at reception but were insulted and bullied into paying over £100 for all of the above.
Thanks very much Golf Hotel for nothing ...we will be contacting the AA to find out when and why they awarded this hotel 3 stars.
Take our advice.....book elsewhere it will be more pleasant and a lot less hassle.

This is for tripadvisor HQW! I paid £180 to stay here and that was for a bog standard room on valentines last year!! when we got there the door was wide open and the bed wasnt made!? my guess is the cleaner jacked in her job realising its impossilbe to get the dump nearly clean! i complained and got upgraded to the room you described "delux" or whatever they call it! Your description was spot on...run down, old badly run, dump, only butlins at bognor regis is worse. Believe me DO NOT GO HERE!

“Good value, but Cold”

2/3 found this review helpful

This is good value, £60 ish B&B
My room was well decorated and had a smart bathroom, but the room was cold. No heated towel rail either. Fortunately there was an extra blanket in the wardrobe, but when a colleague questioned the temp. she was told that the heating wasn't on yet! 17th Oct....
Bar food was good and inexpensive, big Tv in the lounge if you like football. Breakfast fine- but dining room could have been arranged better - cereals miles away from the fruitjuice table, odd.
Fine for a night or two or on business, but no longer.
Convenient to visit places in the area such as the BBMF.

  • This TripAdvisor Member:
    • Liked — not like a travelodge. Attractive old building. Woodhall is quiet small town/village ok to visit Lincoln too.
    • Disliked — Cold room ,and we finished our main course and couldn't have a pud as chef had gone home.
    • Any tips/secrets for future travellers? — Visit the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. 2007 is their 50th Ann.

Gosh... where do I start? I could rant on and on and on... but I'll try not to. Arrived 5 minutes prior to check in time so the receptionist was not happy and had to phone to see if our room would be ready! Booked a deluxe room, number 103. Blimey! We just sat on the bed and laughed! Dirty, dreary, fusty smelling with an awful bathroom, TV on the blink, so were the dirty taps and mildewy shower head, cigarette burns all over the carpet the list is endless. Reminded my husband of a 1960's boarding house bedroom. And a bad one at that.
The whole hotel is the same. They just cannot charge the prices they do. £110 per night for our room. Absolutely scandalous. Please, please before you book, think twice. If anyone has stayed in this room, I would love to know what they think.
