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

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

Stayed here on business after much deliberation - I definitely made the right choice. Lovely hotel in a fantastic location with great service. Loved the quirkiness of the hotel and I was upgraded to a larger room which was a nice surprise.
