Karen, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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 .

10/10 Exceptional

The staff were polite, helpful and friendly. The hotel was immaculately presente clean and comfortable. The room was well furnished and also comfortable if not a little small as we were there for only one night it wasn’t an issue.

Nice staff, but 1 star rooms

The bar and breakfast were nice. The room was dirty, small and the bed was one of the most uncomfortable beds we had slept in.
Carl, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Ann, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
M, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Richard, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

4/10 Fair

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.
Shaun, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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.

Poor experience

I did not rate this hotel, my room was super dusty causing me breathing problems during the night due to my allergies. I paid close to £140 for 1 night here and the price did not reflect the service, cleanliness and facilities. I had a full english breakfast which was nice however it didn't come with beans which I thought was strange, I checked out and handed the key to a lady at reception only to receive a call a few hours later telling me I hadn't handed the key back and they wanted to charge me £50. I wont be staying here again unfortunately.
Ryan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Ample parking, lovely looking hotel. Our room was a bit on the small side,the area to access the sink was incredibly tight. My husband had to be at an angle making shaving impossible. Thankfully it was fine for one night but anymore could have been problematic.
Paula, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Dinner was excellent. The hotel from the outside was lovely and a very nice walk to Burghley house. Also easy to walk into Stamford. Unfortunately we had booked a classic double room. I was told that our room was classed as cosy. It was indeed and not in a nice way. There was no wardrobe. The bed faced the window and being on the ground floor afforded no privacy from bypassers on the street. You could not leave the curtains open because of lack of privacy. Also the closed room curtain got in the way of the tea and coffee facilities. All in all the worst hotel room we have stayed in for a very long time.
