We stayed for two nights at the William Cecil in January 2011. We had booked a late deal and got a room for a good price. All the rooms are named after rooms at Burghley House which is just up the road and all have different decor, We stayed in room 11 called Chinois and the decor was on a... More

First off, I wasn't paying for my stay as I had won two nights with dinner and breakfast in a competition. That said, my wife and I were given one of the best rooms in the hotel. The standard and style of decor was very tasteful and all the amenities that you would expect were available. The food in the... More

A delightful venue. The hotel is imaginatively appointed. Decor is top class and rooms are sumptious. Our bed was fabulously comfortable with lovely linen and excellent pillows and the bathroom was toasty warm for a January stay with very good shower and bath. The staff are charming and friendly and made us most welcome, especially in the bar. Dinner was... More

The very next day, we received an email to say that the hotel would not honour our booking.... More

Will be back again in Feb and at least another 5... More

A great New years eve party. Food was excellent, service good with a smile, dining tables exquisite with good quality crackers and party poppers etc.Live band and disco played some great music. Thoroughly enjoyable evening. Will book again for next year. More

We stayed one night between Christmas and New Year, having stayed at The Bath Arms a couple of years ago. Overall it's a lovely place, but I did expect a bit more for the price. We stayed in the 9th Earl room, having been assured that it was one of the best rooms in the house (indeed, the bridal suite).... More

2 nights - adjoining rooms with our three young children in early December. I found the two rooms to be extremely comfortable, fair value for money, with nice touches. Service was excellent everywhere, restaurant very friendly - although menu a little limited (they had run out of many items and I wouldn't expect the fish special of the day to... More
