The hotel, the staff, the food where all brilliant. They made us really comfortable and welcome. We will be staying here every time we come to Stamford. If you have the opportunity I highly recommend staying here.

Very noisy at night, they had a wedding party and didn’t inform us. Staff did little to keep guest quiet when heading back to rooms, we had kids screaming at 1am! Would avoid if they host large parties.

8.0 / 10.0

Beautiful rooms, but No 19 was directly over the kitchen, so could hear loud radio at night and in the morning before breakfast.

3.0 / 10.0

The rooms are in need of TLC. Our room was so hot no way of turning the heating down and couldn’t open the window due to a lot of road/traffic noise. The staff were all very friendly and helpful

5.0 / 10.0

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.

3.0 / 10.0

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.

Beautiful historic hotel in a great location.

Extremely friendly receptionist and it’s so nice to be accompanied to your room rather than be left alone . The hotel rooms are quite quirky with antique furnishings and our room had an oriental/ Asian flavour…perhaps some artwork over the bed would have made the room more appealing.The bed and shower were great and extremely hot water so that is a bonus. We walked to visit Burghley house which is located behind the inn and is a must see. The town of Stamford is a hidden gem …I felt we were on a movie set…exquisite Georgian buildings and fantastic indie shops. Would definitely stay again…Breakfast is fab and Gluten free options

10.0 / 10.0

all the staff and management were very helpful at all times and took time to interact with all guests. Very convenient just a 10 minute walk into town.Breakfast had a large selection of choices and always willing to change things if you wanted to

8.0 / 10.0

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.

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.

5.0 / 10.0

I love this place. I was surprised that a tap in the bath was leaky, and therefore running all the time. Otherwise flawless, friendly and really lovely

5.0 / 10.0

Very friendly staff throughout our stay. Large room, very comfortable and nice to have a large fan keeping us cool at night. Only issue was the lack of power sockets in this day and age when tech is king, but we managed. Ate at Milly's on the first evening and breakfast on both days, all very nice. Would recommend, especially as Burghley House Estate is literally at the back of the hotel and Stamford itself is a lovely town.

Lovely hotel in a beautiful town, perfect for a romantic couples get away

4.0 / 10.0

This is a lovely hotel in a very old building which backs onto The Burghley House Estate. It has a big free car park and outside terrace. It has a lovely restaurant Milly's, where we had a fabulous evening meal which was competitively priced and a good breakfast with lots of choice.The staff were friendly and helpful. It was very hot when we stayed and our bedroom was an oven. There was a very large fan in our room but it was too noisy to sleep with. Our bedroom window was screwed shut, fortunately the bathroom window did open. We appreciate the difficuties posed by an old building but hope something can be done to enable some more ventilation in the bedroom. Stamford itself is well worth a visit. We shall be back

Wonderful old property with lots of character but no air conditioning and it was hotttt

4.0 / 10.0

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 .

8.0 / 10.0

We had a lovely stay , the public areas were beautiful, however our room was disappointing as the only window was up high on the wall , which made ventilation an issue so it was extremely warm , and the room was in need of decoration . Having said that , I would definitely make a return visit as staff , food and the public areas were really lovely!

We had an excellent overnight stay at the William Cecil as a group of 8. The staff were efficient and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Our meal in the restaurant in the evening was delicious as was breakfast. There was plenty to choose from. Our bed was very comfortable and despite the noise from the busy road, we had a good night's sleep. The hotel is beautiful and in an excellent location. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Lovely hotel with a cute courtyard where we had lunch. Stayed in the large suite with its own lovely garden. The room was big, two bathrooms and nice big bed. Coffee machine and kettle with fresh milk in the fridge and fluffy bathrobes plus easy ample parking. The downside was it was quite noisy from the road, bifold doors across the division from bedroom to sitting room would solve this problem. Also could do with body moisturiser….none was supplied. Overall great hotel.

4.0 / 10.0

Everything lovely. A low metal doorframe on way to bathroom did cause problems. We struck our heads several times on it quite severely, and painfully. We informed the hote staff that warnings should be much more visible.

Lovely for Dogs, But Not at All Baby-Friendly This hotel may be great for dog owners, but it's extremely unaccommodating for families with babies. Despite calling ahead and being assured a cot would be available, there was none. We were promised a Z-bed instead, which wasn’t in the room on arrival and took 30 minutes to organize. There’s no baby-friendly dining: no room service, no food before 6pm, and the kids’ menu is outdated and unsuitable for infants. High chairs are available, but no baby plates or cutlery. It took 20 minutes to heat up baby food — in plastic — and only after chasing reception in person, as rooms have no phones. Rooms aren’t family-friendly either: very light with no blackout curtains, no toothpaste or slippers, and taps that don’t mix hot and cold, making it hard to wash a baby safely. The food overall was disappointing. Greek yogurt comes pre-mixed with honey, fruit salad is soaked in orange juice, and even a simple mint tea was made with packaged leaves despite fresh mint growing in the garden. Most staff are young and kind, but poorly managed. Leadership feels disengaged, which is a shame given the hotel's potential and beautiful setting. We wouldn’t return — staying here with a baby was far more stressful than it should have been.

Only there for one night for our Anniversary this time. Fabulous lodge with decking area.. very comfortable and had everything we needed.

10.0 / 10.0

We loved our stay here! The staff were so welcoming and friendly. Our dog received an incredible welcome, including her own bed, bowls and hamper full of snacks! The room was spotlessly clean, a good size, comfortable and had everything we needed for a great stay. The vegan breakfast was great and we had a drink in the evening, enjoying an expertly made cocktail. The hotel is in walking distance of Burghley House and grounds (accessible via the hotel's garden) and has plenty of parking for guests. It'd be great if they could install additional electric vehicle chargers as both were occupied on our arrival, but we managed to charge in the morning during breakfast which was really helpful with our onward journey. We'd definitely come back here!

We really enjoyed our stay . The hotel has a lovely feel and has very attentive and friendly staff . On arrival Rachel really looked after us giving us a most delightful room which enhanced our stay further. We ate in the restaurant for both dinner and breakfast and the food and service were brilliant.

The room and bathroom was very large, however the bed was not comfortable and there was a lot of noise from the road and the room above resulting in a poor nights sleep.

8.0 / 10.0

Our large room was lovely but odd in no wardrobe, couple flat hooks on wall, insufficient for our needs of more than 2 items and costs. Our friends had a small wardrobe no sofa. Dinner was truly excellent, all dishes.

5.0 / 10.0

Great location, friendly and helpful staff. We had a “cosy” room but it was big and lovely bathroom. My only complaint would be lack of power points. To use the kettle or coffee maker you had to go under the dressing table to swap the plugs and same to use the hairdryer. It was clean and very comfortable and a bonus we didn’t know about was you can walk straight into Burghley house grounds from the hotel. The breakfast was included and excellent. We chose the full English but plenty of options. We didn’t eat there for dinner but the restaurant did seem busy. Would definitely stay there again

Great stay from the moment we arrived. Staff so friendly and helpful and the room was lovely, felt very special.

Haven't stayed here for a while, OK room but view not great and in need of updates. Socks found in room and a hole in towel. Coffee machine, with only a few pods, no instant alternative, tea bags. fresh milk and nice cookies a nice touch. Interesting breakfast menu.

We were just passing by on the way to Scotland so we didn’t know about this area or hotel but we were very impressed. Everything was nice.
