Wouldn't stay again based on this trip. Hotel located in a good spot but very dated room was freezing after 4am as heating was off and outside was minus temperatures. The bathroom was delapidated and the water not very hot, the bath was rusty and dirty and as it was steel the water went colder in minutes. Food was above average but costly like all hotels. Gym was shameful ancient limited equipment falling to bits.

My husband and I spent one night here on a stopover and it was a very nice, clean hotel. We didn’t go into the restaurant or bar at all because the area was so beautiful and easily walkable we went to see as much as we could while there. We were there in January so the hotel was very quiet, but even so there is ample parking. There is no front desk staff at night and we did have to wait outside for a little while to be let into the building after our evening out I’m not sure if it was because of the season or if it’s the norm. My only real complaint was the room was cool and it only had mediocre hot water. All in all very nice, and would recommend.

Decided to upgrade to a cathedral view. For the small amount extra to pay this is an absolute must. The view is amazing. Staff were all really friendly, Good choice for breakfast including items cooked to order, best Eggs benedict I have ever had. The room was refurbished and really welcoming, wonderful shower. the only down side is the lift, straight out of the 50's clunked and banged and occasionally we had to press the "Open Door" button. The hotel is absolutely ideally placed for visiting uphill Lincoln which is just beautiful. Overall had a fantastic short break. The photo's are the view from our room 316.

Could have been better
On arriving staff very friendly. On arriving in our room (308) we were disappointed… dehumidifiers in room and it smelt very damp. Stained carpet and furniture looking very tired and chunk out of top of bath with panel hanging off. On returning to reception to say we werent happy with our room which have never done before the lovely young lady on reception could not have been more helpful and moved us to another room 316 which was as different again and we enjoyed a good nights sleep followed by a lovely breakfast . Hotel a little tired in general but what was sold as a deluxe room was definitely not but staff great

Coach tour special in a great location
It’s a terrific location here and the staff do their best - by far the hotels greatest asset. But the place needs more money investing in it than I think I could even imagine. Some spaces in hotels are just too small and awkward to use as a room, no matter how tempting it might be to squeeze one more coach passenger in. There’s a point at which carpets just smell too much to clean, and bathtubs simply don’t make sense in tiny rooms (with accompanying shower curtain horror) The bar could be a real asset it done better at night and maybe there’s a way to raise much needed revenue there… Ultimately there is a good reason so many of the pictures are looking good the hotel not inside!
