Excellent choice Hotel, staff were welcoming, friendly and efficient. Room was very nice, comfortable. Would stay again.
Only criticism is the full English breakfast could do with a ramekin of baked beans, as very dry without them

Lovely hotel, staff all excellent, breakfast good choice. Beds very comfy & lovely toiletries & touches. Thankyou
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 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.
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
A very enjoyable stay in walking distance of Stamford town centre and immediate access to the grounds of Burleigh House.

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
