Top Idle Valley Nature Reserve Hotel Reviews

Garner Hotel Lincoln by IHG

8/10 Good

"Our short stay was very good. The staff were pleasant and helpful. The room was spacious and clean. The bed was very comfortable. Parking was ideal. We enjoyed our breakfasts, the staff there were particularly helpful and friendly. The TV did not always work. The lift made very scary noises but always worked. Our time at the hotel was very comfortable."

Ye Olde Bell Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Great venue, super friendly staff, especially Billy at breakfast! Great breakfast menu. Easy parking."

Woodcocks, Lincoln by Marston's Inns

8/10 Good

"Good food and drink at the pub that is separate from the accommodation. Slight problem on check in as they had given us a double room instead of a twin, despite sending an email prior to arrival requesting a twin. Staff shortages meant it was a while before the bed situation was sorted but we were in the bar by then so not really an issue. The receptionist was apologetic and keen to resolve the issue so bonus points to her."

The Welcome Inn Hotel

8/10 Good

"Free parking on site. Room was clean and roomy. Tea and coffee making facilities. Clean bathroom. Great value for money. Would definitely stay again."
