Very good location to walk into Stamford. Nice old hotel with history attached. Well appointed rooms, easy parking and nice breakfast. The room was a bit on the small side for the price and the shower cubicle was smaller than we are used to but overall very nice.

This is a nice hotel. The room was nice and clean but there were no drawers or wardrobes only some hooks to hang your clothes and it was quite small. The cooked breakfast was good but the portion size was small and you are charged extra for any coffee other than filter coffee. Considering the high price l feel it should be included and l feel the service charge on alcoholic drinks is excessive.

Just a one night stay…the hotel is an old property, full of quirks and charm but having said that…a little tired in some areas of decor. We had room number 10, although double glazed, traffic noise was very evident! and as I said could do with a re-vamp . The breakfast was excellent, lovely choices, could not fault it and service was great! We would stay again when visiting the area but only if guaranteed a room at other side of the building .

Great choice for Stamford

Modern facilities within characterful old buildings just on the edge of the town centre - easy walk to all amenities, including the station. Quiet if your room faces away from the road.

Three day break

Had a lovely stay, staff friendly & helpful, waitress Helena is always friendly & helpful, this is our third visit here. The only issue is there appears to be quite a lot of people who park up to take their dogs for a walk, which when we got back middle of the day we had trouble parking.

One night in Stamford.

I had a lovely night in the hotel; the staff were excellent, and the drinks prices were very reasonable. It is just a short walk to get to the town centre. I didn't try any food, but what I did see coming out of the kitchen looked amazing. I was in an attic room which was very cosy, the heating worked well. I would definitely stay here again.

Lovely place to stay. Just a couple of pointers.

Over all, a very pleasant stay. The public areas were very nice. Excellent parking. Great service and friendly staff. The food was very good The hot water in the shower wasn't hot. The bathroom towel rail however was hot and was on all of the time. Not the end of the world, but enough to take it down to a 4/5 review . Pity.

A beautiful building and an amazingly comfy bed.

An absolutely amazing nights stay, the bed was incredibly comfy and we slept like a log. The staff were very attentive, one slight criticism was they need more staff as when we went to the bar we were waiting for quite a while to be attended to. Their sister bar restaurant down the road we left after 20 minutes, the waiter took my drink order while my wife was choosing, 20 minutes later and nothing. So sadly they lost out on our food and drinks order.

Unfortunately, we were situated in an area of the hotel that was being renovated. The room was very small with uneven floors. The fan provided was broken and there wasn't enough plugs to run the fridge, fan and coffee. The service provided was good. the food served was delicious. For the price we paid I felt it was very over priced for the quality of the room. I have stayed in mecures and Premier Inns for a lot less and the quality of rooms were better.

Slightly disappointed

Was slightly disappointed with the comfort this stay. Issues with bedstead corners in small space (caught legs several times). Had to ask staff to turn off overheated towel rail in bathroom (it wasn't apparent). Ropey taps and large shower head didn't make showering easy. Needed the fan (it was very warm) which was efficient, but very noisy. Road noise more bothersome this visit.
