Ours was a late booking, and we stayed in the only available room, which was the ground floor of the mews building. The location is great, and I agree with most reviewers that the staff are most helpful and welcoming. However, the standard of the room did not really live up to expectations. The huge bed and 42" flat screen... More

We spend one night here during the Easter holidays. We had two four poster bedrooms. First impression was good. Receptionist very pleasant.. However,the rooms were very disappointing for the room rate we paid. The curtains were very thin and falling off the rail! The bed was comfy although the bedding wasn't very suitable.

We stayed for one night at this lovely hotel. The staff couldn't have been more friendly, welcoming and helpful. The hotel was ideally placed. We enjoyed an excellent breakfast in the adjoining tearoom with a good choice of cold and cooked food. The lounge looked comfortable but we did not use this area. We would definitely stay again.

I have to admit that I hesitated between good/very good on this one. The Bail House is in a great location, close to the cathedral and in the pretty upper part of Lincoln. The reception and cosy lounge area, which is available for the use of residents with books, newspapers, honesty bar, comfortable arm chairs, are beautifully refurbished. There is... More
