Very comfortable and well appointed. We were made very welcome, especially our little dog. The location was excellent, with a lovely garden leading to a recent renovated park/arboretum. The town centre was walking distance, without needing to climb the hill!

A couple of small issues discussed directly with the proprietors!

Friendly welcome good facilities. The hotel was five minutes from the cathedral quarter making it a perfect location

I was staying at Hillcrest as I was running in the Lincoln 10k race on the Sunday. The location allowed me easy access to the Cathedral and Castle and it was simple to get to the start, and get back from the finish, of the race. The room was the perfect size with a lovely view and comfortable bed. the breakfast was served swiftly and was delicious and the manager checked me out very quickly on the Sunday morning. A very pleasant stay indeed.

The only issue was that the shower plug wasn't draining quickly enough and I had to stop the shower in case the water level overflowed. However this could have been caused by a blockage due to the previous occupant of the room for all I know and the problem would be swiftly fixed if need be. I did forget to tell the manager about this small problem.

Nice size rooms, non-intrusive but friendly staff, good food, beautiful grounds and value for mon.ey

The staff did everything they could to make our stay enjoyable and were very helpful when i left an item behind

Fresh contemporary feel while retaining the lovely Victorian character of the splendid building; great position, near the old centre of Lincoln but quiet. Great views from the dining room.

My room was on the top floor and got a little chilly overnight. One of the bedside lights didn't work, and the shower base needs repair. Finally - the complimentary soap was horrible - felt gritty.

Extremely friendly welcome, very comfortable rooms. Excellent home cooked breakfast. This was our second stay at the Hillcrest and once again we were over the moon with the service we recieved.

Welcoming. Good personal service. Comfortable. Good facilities.

Overpriced for a 2-star hotel, taking everything into account.

I loved the character of the hotel, old and grand, with a fantastic outlook over the arboretum.

It was further than a 7 minute walk into the shopping centre of Lincoln and involved a steep walk coming back.

The best part was the location. We could walk all over the city. The friendliness of the proprietors was most welcome. We had our two dogs with us and the welcome, helpful information offered and overall feel of the place was wonderful. The room and bath area were very spacious. There was even a vanity for my wife to use in the morning to get ready. She was very pleased with that! Breakfast in the conservatory, overlooking the terraced gardens was beautiful. We will definitely recommend this B&B to our friends and we plan a return stay in the future. This was an amazing value.
