Very comfortable stay
Very nice comfortable stay. Ideally placed if you want to visit the castle & the cathedral. Only things to be aware of is that there is music until pub closing.

Great pub atmosphere
Second time we have stayed. Lovely hotel, with great staff and a lovely restaurant.
Very busy pub but a lovely atmosphere.
Parking is tight, meant to be for hotel guests only but we noticed a lot of people parking there and then walking off into town.
We will be back when we stay in Lincoln again.

Lovely pub but rock hard beds
Lovely bar and restaurant. Staff very friendly.
Room 5 was very small and the bed was the most uncomfortable bed and pillows I have ever slept on. My partner likes a hard bed but he said this was like sleeping on blue circle cerement.
Shame as we stay in Lincoln quite often but would not stay again because of this.

We loved our Cottage
We stayed in The Cottage and loved it! Unbeatable access to the pub, I was a bit worried about noise but it didn’t go late (even on a Saturday). We’d love to stay again

Excellent stay in the heart of Lincoln!
We were warmly greeted, upgraded as they were not full, our room was modern, boutique, nice personal touches, we stayed on one of the hottest nights of the year and even with fans going the temperature didn’t go below 29’C in our room overnight! It was an oven! Nothing the management could’ve done more. The breakfast was absolutely spot on and we were allowed to leave our car until lunchtime in the car park which was so appreciated while we visited our daughter. Thank you so much, we wouldn’t hesitate to stay again, all the staff were so friendly and went out of their way to make sure we were happy.
