We stayed for 5 nights and enjoyed a safe and friendly atmosphere with helpful and courteous service. The breakfasts were freshly cooked with generous portions. We tried nearly all the non-meat dishes on the evening menu and would recommend the sea-bass and salmon nicoise.

Was Avery pleasant and up to date old hotel. Staff were most helpful. Parking was great. Breakfast was just right. Dinner was good. Pub was crowded when we arrived but when we returned from our evening walk around the cathedral it had cleared out and we had a very pleasant evening

This place is awesome. We were only there for one night but I wish we’d stayed for more. Our room was cozy, shower was amazing, pub and restaurant are the kind of place I never want to leave. Staff were friendly and courteous. Entire property is full of history and character. Location couldn’t be better just steps from restaurants and major Lincoln attractions.

Full of character, comfortable, polite & friendly staff. Only drawback was shower could have been more powerful, carpets along communal hallways was water stained in places, but none of these were a deal breaker for staying there again.

Lovely hotel
The hotel was lovely and cannot complain about our room or breakfast We did have a drink in the bar, however the young barman ran last orders at 22.15 on a Saturday night. He turned away 2 couples who walked in wanting a drink We were told by receptionist when checking in last orders are around 23.00 and probably close at 23.30. It was clear the young bar man wanted to close up early so he could go out with his friends at the bar. We did speak to the manager who did listen and we were served again as well as another 2 people who had walked in at 22.40. This was the only disappointment. Otherwise would recommend this lovely bar and hotel for drinks and food.
