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.

Clean, comfortable, and spacious. Very nice bathroom with claw foot bath and separate walk in shower. Nice pub/restaurant downstairs with a good breakfast included. Excellent location. A bit noisy in the evening, from the beer garden, but only until 10:30pm. And parking!

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

Central location, lovely room, staff excellent

Absolutely lovely stay at Duke William hotel. It was the perfect location for us to attend a concert at the castle, just a 1min walk away. The hotel check-in was simple, our room was lovely, albeit compact, the bed is huge and very comfortable, and it is very central and a historic building. Evening bar staff were a little salty, but the day time team were great. The breakfast is pre-ordered the night before, and was really lovely. Nice ingredients and poached cooked perfectly! The icing on the cake for me has to be the aftercare. We had left a jumper at the hotel, loving 2hrs away wasn’t an option, but they happily posted it for me and it was with me 2 days! Outstanding service.
