I have stayed here a number of times in the past month, little things like fabulous reception staff smiling and making an effort makes all the difference. The rooms are great and probably a higher standard than advertised and breakfasts are as good as I have had anywhere. A beautiful building with great staff in a lovely location. I feel... More

I highly recommend a stay at The Cecil to anyone planning a trip to Stamford and or Burghley house. Everything about our stay was a real treat which was exactly what I had been hoping for. I took advantage of the Burghley deal offered by the hotel. This included a two for one offer to visit Burghley house, room, dinner... More

This is a very comfortable hotel. It is located close to Burghley, not far from the centre of the lovely town of Stamford. Although the landings in the older parts of the building are a little cramped, the rooms are large and very well furnished. Beds are comfortable and the bathrooms large. I really enjoyed a short stay here with... More

This was actually my third choice of hotel to stay in in Stamford as my first two preferences were fully booked. However, following a wonderful stay here I couldn't recommend it higher and I'm thankful that the other two hotels were fully booked. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The bed was incredibly comfortable (we stayed in the Lady... More

I have just returned from a 3 day painting holiday at the William Cecil. The attentiveness of the hotel staff was first class and my room was delightful. I cannot praise the food enough, it was perfectly seasoned and inventive. As for the painting course, what can I say other than our tutor Gill was lovely and very talented. She... More
