“A warm welcome”

20 Jun 2008

I and two friends booked a night's stay at The Gables on the basis of the reviews on Tripadvisor, and we were certainly not disappointed! From the initial telephone call to Jo to make the booking, the welcome was warm and friendly.

We were a bit late in arriving but we phoned ahead and they were very nice about it. When we arrived we were taken to very comfortable and spotless rooms with lovely modern showers and everything you could possibly need provided - very nice toiletries, including excellent shower gel/shampoo in a dispenser in the shower, and a folder with lots of useful local information. David drew a map for us so that we could find the most convenient parking in the city centre.

Breakfast was delicious and plentiful and David was kind enough to help my friend with her online flight confirmation. When we left, they waved us off as if we were departing friends - which by this time we felt we were!

The location is a bit out of the city, but on a bus route or a short drive to the city centre, and The Gables has plenty of parking.

All this, and excellent value for money! Highly recommended.

The Gables is a great B&B. We stayed in a lovely room, which was clean, very comfy (especially the bed) and well decorated with a great ensuite and fantastic shower! The breakfast the following morning was delicious. The owners are very welcoming and helpful and it is definitely good value for money.

“Great find”

The Gables Guest House

19 Dec 2007

We recently were lucky to stay a night at the Gables, as we did not know the area and had no personal recomendations we were a little unsure about quite what to expect.
However we need not have been worried,as the Gables was a great find, good location, beautifully clean, lovely en suite with toiletries, excellent wardrobe space, lots of parking and a tasty breakfast. The owners were very helpful and efficient.
Overall a very positive experience!

I stayed her for two nights in November while working in Lincoln.

Jo and David were friendly and helpful and the place is spotless.

The beds are large clean and comfortable - The shower in my room was huge - There was lots of hanging space (with hangers!!!).

If you want somewhere safe, clean, comfortable and friendly to stay look no further

“A home away from home”

1/1 found this review helpful

We stayed at the Gables a second time, having stayed here a year earlier, and being highly impressed at that time.

Apart from being a lovely home, with beautiful modern rooms, it is the little touches that help to make this an exceptional place to stay. Things like tea towels to dry your cups, face washers in the shower, and an iron and ironing board.

There are blankets on the bed instead of winter weight doonas, which is a really nice touch to all those B & B's who persist on putting winter weight duvets on beds, and wondering why guests complain about getting too hot in bed! It is nice ot be able to throw off a blanket if you are getting too warm.

It is close to several restaurants, and not too far to Lincoln. Dave and Jo are the perfect hosts, and they provide a great breakfast.

Having travelled extensively through the UK, I have no hesitation in recommending the Gables as one of only two B&B's I have stayed in that are of exceptional quality. The owners are tuned into the needs of the traveller, and this is reflected in the quality of their product. Stay there, you will not be disappointed. We will be back.
