“In my opinion, this is a family-operated hotel with individually designed rooms and self-catering cottages, near Lincoln Castle and the Cathedral. The on-site restaurant uses local ingredients and has earned awards; still, some rooms have misleading Cathedral view descriptions and breakfast service can be slow. Overall, it's a well-located, historic-themed option.”

A decent stay

great locationfresh foodnoisy fanpigeon problem
The location WORKS well! I could EASILY walk to the castle. Breakfast had tasty, freshly cooked food. It REALLY got my day going.
The room got super hot during the day. A small, noisy fan just DIDN'T cut it. The windows SHOULD remain closed. I noticed a note about a pigeon problem and that's NOT ideal.

I found the staff cute. The room had a great view of the Castle walls and Cathedral. The area became quiet after 11 pm, so sleep was not disturbed. The hotel provided good value for the price I paid.
