So many places are easily forgettable because they are just like all the others. I find that the memorable ones (not the bad ones) stand out because of small but different features. The Tennyson was one of these: the home-made biscuits, renewed every day, clean towels every day, teddy bear on the bed (!), breakfast menu in 13 different languages.... More

I recently stayed at this B+B and was made to feel welcome by both Jeff and his wife. The accomodation was clean and spacious and a good location for walking into Lincoln. Breakfast generous and cooked to order. Would recommend a stay especially if you are in Lincoln for 3 days and avail yourself of the 3 days for the... More

This hotel is situated right by a very busy main road so make sure your room is not facing the front or you may not get much sleep. As a lone female I was made to feel uncomfortable by the male owner. Apparently my arrival at 3pm (check in is 4pm, not stated on my booking information) was wholly inconvenient... More

All booking confirmations whether by letter, e-mail or internet clearly state check in is after 4 pm unless alternative arrangements are made. This is because like all owner operated B&Bs, rooms are serviced in the morning and grocery shopping, medical appointments, etc take place in the afternoon. This is why, when the reviewer telephoned us whilst we were shopping we... More

Our hosts were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was excellent. So on that I would be giving 4 to 5 stars. But the room was a let down. The ensuite shower room had very botched up DIY filler attempts which were quite unsightly and it took ages to get any hot water in the shower. The furniture felt like it... More

The hotel was well-sited for easy access to all the tourist locations in Lincoln, and off-street car parking was provided. The room was quiet, spacious and fitted with all the modern facilities. The choice for breakfast was large, and the food was well-cooked. Unusually, we even had that rarity in hotels: hot toast! The owners were friendly, welcoming and helpful,... More

Clearly negative reviews are about another Guest house in Lincoln. This was up with the very best B&B's that we have stayed at. Attention to detail such as a sewing kit in the room, trouser press, ironing board on the landing and towels changed every day is testament to this establishments attention to detail. The breakfast is first class, there... More
