Great hotel, staff very welcoming and helpful. We ate dinner in the restaurant, which was excellent too. We will definitely stay again, when next in Stamford and highly recommend.
Our only issue was with the road noise throughout the night, which became noticeable when we had our window open and had to be closed around 4 am.

Loved the atmosphere and position of the property. Bed really comfy, breakfast delicious. Although the rooms are mainly street facing we were amazed that we did not hear any traffic noise from the road outside.
Only slight negative - wish a shower cap had been provided as the shower was a large fixed head and you couldn’t avoid getting your hair wet!

Beautiful room with large comfortable bed. Food was delicious and staff were friendly and helpful. Very clean, and great to have a coffee machine and fridge in the room.
no complaints really, it would have been nice to have had a flannel provided as I didn't bring one as these are usually provided in hotels.

Great location an easy 10 minute walk to the centre of Stamford. Very friendly and helpful staff especially Zac who recommended places to visit in town. The room was spacious, well appointed, very clean and comfortable. Welcome letter in the room with useful information, biscuits, fresh milk in the fridge and an espresso coffee machine. Free parking available at the sister hotel a 2 minute walk from the hotel.
Rain shower was spacious but was a little difficult to adjust but not a great problem overall.

Everything - everyone was welcoming. We had the Lyon room, just lovely and we slept so well.
The room had everything we needed for our stay. I requested a soya milk or similar and it was in our room fridge ready.
Breakfast was excellent value and great choice.
We would definitely stay again and so would our friends.
Thank you, have a great Christmas.

It was a lovely place in an excellent location. The staff were friendly. Breakfast was very nice. The atmosphere whilst having a drink and a bite to eat in the bar area felt relaxing and people were very friendly and chatty.
The toilet was not fitted to the floor and moved about. Between the bath and the wall it did not look like it had not been cleaned for sometime, to be fair only noticed this when my sponge fell off the side bath. Both lights above the two sinks in the bathroom were flashing on and off. Did pass this information onto a lovely lady when we checked out. It did not affect our stay with you.
The notice about removing the toiletries is a bit harsh.

Lovely looking rooms and great facilities- attached to a great pub with fabulous cooks. Breakfast was amazing.
Noisy road and the bed was very soft - my preference is a harder bed.

Nice welcome. Showed to our room. Lovely basket of pastries, yogurt and fruit drinks on the table to start. Good choice of cooked breakfast. Dinner was fine and staff very good. Very happy overall.
Nothing major really.
Not a big issue but unable to park close by and on arrival it was raining. However parking is about a five minute walk to sister hotel car park. We did know this in advance.
Not entirely sure I like a bath in the bedroom but made an interesting change! Also quite steep stairs up to room. As more senior in age, stairs and baths become a bit of a challenge. However we managed!

Breakfast was lovely, great quality and lots of choice. The room was also very nice with a comfy bed. We felt that dinner was quite disappointing and very expensive for what we ordered.
Additional fans or air con, the room was very hot at this time of year and it made it quite hard to sleep, especially as we had a full duvet on the bed and no option of just a sheet or anything like that.

Lighting in the large room(Newton) was uneven. No lighting at all in the half of the room near the window.

The room (decor, facilities and little touches), the breakfast and the staff were all fantastic!
This is nothing that can be changed, but worth consideration by people thinking of booking, it is on a main road and even with great glazing there is fairly constant traffic noise. Also, being an old building, there is noise from other rooms, areas of the building and plumbing.

The Staff was exceptional. The location was fabulous. The hotel was quaint and charming. Parking was convenient. And the food was delicious.
Our room did not have a standing shower, which wasn't horrible, but not ideal. It was a challenge to not get water on the floor after a few pints. And the pints were delicious.

Our bed was too small for 2x6ft+ people. The room was on the road. Very noisy. Not good value for money at all.
