Good points.... Very comfortable bed. Nice clean room. Reasonably priced. Great location for Cathedral and Castle. Room for improvement points... Supply shower gel, Shampoo, or make it clear on booking that it is not supplied. Make it easier to access the property. Shame that the restaurant had restricted open times, so was closed for our stay.

Very well positioned accommodation and walkable to Lincoln castle and cathedral. Comfortable stay would suggest more pillows required in our room as we only had 1 each. Really reasonably priced as we got a good deal. Although we parked further away by choice there is parking a few mins walk away behind the castle.

Bad sleep

The room was extremely hot, needed the windows open to be able to sleep at all so it was also noisy from outside and the smell of cigarettes came in from staff taking breaks. There was a cleaning cupboard right outside the room constantly being opened and slammed. The shower was either scalding hot or freezing. The bed was very comfortable and the staff were nice. There was a fridge in the room which was good but it would tick on and off all night and make so much noise it would wake you up every time. Had a couple nights of bad sleep. Location was great.

No guest WiFi, NOT a hotel!!!

The room was clean and comfortable. Shower and bathroom space is really tiny. The biggest issue for me was the fact that there was NO guest wifi. Also there is an awful smell when you walk up the stairs to the rooms. The check in experience was not very positive either. I had to look for someone to pay my bill. He did not know any details about my booking or my rate. He did not offer my a receipt when I paid.

Couples Valentines weekend break

Booked a one night stay as it was central to local bars, restaurants and the cathedral, also town centre shops Room was nice, tv, fridge The only issue was a leak in the bathroom which came through the light which was dangerous Was offered a move to another hotel but as it was late we decided to stay and use towels to soak up the water, Emily from the restaurant was extremely helpful . The out of hours contact didn’t reply or contact us until Sunday afternoon which was a little disappointing but it was rectified in the end

Clear directions and access instructions. Very clean room and bathroom, loads of complimentary tea & coffee, very generous supply of milk too. Extra pillows in the wardrobe along with a couple of fluffy bathrobes (the private bathroom was across the corridor). The bed was a bit soft & springy for my liking and the room was very warm when I arrived (the radiator was on fairly high) and I couldn't open the window - there was a sign on the window apologising and saying not to open it due to it being broken. Overall though, a very clean and pleasant well appointed room.

The property was very quirky and modern and only 5 mins walk from the Cathedral quarter. Our stay was very comfortable and everything we needed in the property was there. A Fabulous place to stay and very reasonably priced too. Would highly recommend, and will be back when we visit Lincoln again.

The BnB was very easy to find and the instructions were simple to enter my room. The room was clean and loved the country details, i would recommend to stay again. The only thing i had a problem with was paying for the room on arrival as no staff was around to collect on the day.
