We stayed at the Bailhouse in June 2006, and paid £79 for a standard room - breakfast was extra. Good points - the welcome was charming, and the service good. Breakfast was beautifully cooked, as it should be for £10 a head, and the bed was really comfortable. But we felt we were paying for a lot of extras we were not using. It's well-positioned if you are visiting Lincoln for the first time, the lounge has got a HUGE television screen and the garden has a above-surface plunge pool. Our room had a private bathroom not en suite, yes, we were warned, but the price of the next room was astronomical! The bed was standard size, not kingsize, the bathroom needed certain safety features like hand-grips in the in-bath shower. Our room was quiet, but the more expensive rooms on the front of the property suffered from the Saturday-night pub turnout noise. Last time I checked, the price of a standard room had gone up - and breakfast was still not included. Nice as it is, at the end of the day it's still a bed and breakfast for nearly £100. We'll probably look round for something a little less bijou.

Every aspect of our stay was impecable. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left. The room was something else! Very spacious and beautifuly furnished (what a four poster!) Staff were always willing to go the extra mile, we were very happy in our stay at Bail House and Mews and highly recommend it.

The best hotel in lincoln!!,superb location on Bailgate in between the castle and cathedral.We have stayed in most of lincolns hotels,none as old(1350),as clean or as well furnished as this one.Very impressive polished collection of plaques on the main door,Johansens,Best Loved,AA five diamond.
Our room was on the first floor,huge four poster,gleaming bathroom with bath and shower,very spacious,the staff were superb,very helpful.Only small dissapointment being they dont serve lunch or dinner,just breakfast(recomended!), however there are a dozen or so good restaurants within 1 mins walk.Plenty of choice,chinese,thai,french,italian and even a champagne and oyster bar.
Worth noting is the large free onsite carpark for guests with electic gate,parking in the cathedral area is not impossible but is expensive.
Overall impression 10/10

Bad points: We were there in Sept 05 the first disappointment was that the hotel check in is 4:00 and check out is 11:00 and the staff wasn't to friendly, we felt the "bed & breakfast you are staying in my house and will do as you are told" feeling really strong, rather be in a chain hotel with no atitud.

Good points: Well located & parking

We were so unconfortable that we won't be staying there again.
