FAQs about hotels in Lincoln







The Glory of Medieval England

Lincoln was a powerhouse of medieval England and retains amazing monuments from that period. In the Uphill district is the castle built for William the Conqueror. Inside its an original copy of the Magna Carta and its ramparts offer fabulous city views. Across the cobbled square which houses the large Christmas market is huge Lincoln Cathedral whose unusual façade features 2 tall towers, while another at its centre overlooks the Bishop’s Palace.

Connecting the cathedral quarter with the Downhill district is aptly named Steep Hill, a narrow street lined with unique shops and historic buildings including the Jew’s House. Even older are the Roman Newport Arch, Mint Wall and the well on Bailgate.

This road slopes down to meet the River Witham at High Bridge, a stone-arched structure with a half-timbered building atop that is the oldest of its kind in England. Lincoln boat trips depart from the Brayford Pool just west.

Another monument is the 18th-century Ellis Mill, opposite the Museum of Lincolnshire Life. The Collection combines an archaeology museum and art gallery, while The Lawn has a conference centre and the Joseph Banks Conservatory, displaying artefacts he brought back from adventures with Captain Cook.

Booking.com’s Lincoln accommodation covers luxury waterfront hotels, guest houses by the university and cheap apartments near the train station.

    Lovely castle and some lovely shops, although a few empty ones as is usual these days. The hill will put some off, but plenty of restaurants and bars. If you like your real ale, The Strugglers Inn is the place to go. Friendly town, will return.

    We enjoyed rhe mixture of ancient and modern & it was great for a short break. We found the free tour of the guildhall very interesting, the castle is well worth a visit & what we could see of the cathedral without paying the £11 entrance charge is wonderful. Parking was provided at property from midday on day of arrival until midday on departure day. Parking in city is very expensive but there is a park & ride which we used & found convenient .

    A great city to explore on foot. The Cathedral is amazing, dog friendly and very welcoming. Unfortunately the Castle isn't but there is plenty more to see and do. Wonderful selection of shops, pubs and restaurants. Perfect for a short break.

    The marina, cathedral and university campus is all worth a visit. The surrounding countryside is known for its endless skies and you may find the red arrows overhead as they are often in this area between displays

    The hotel is situated well within the city, we used the local walk and ride buses to get to the Cathedral as it can be a long climb up the steep hill but walking back down brings you past some great pubs and into the main shopping area.

    Right next to the wall of Lincoln Castle, this hotel is also a mere five minutes walk away from Lincoln Cathedral. The area between the cathedral and the castle was a new part of Lincoln for me, and I found it just as fine as the better known hillside part of the town. The room we stayed in, right under the roof, had the kind of nooks, crannies, and beams that my wife and I both love, and was a delight architecturally speaking. Staff was helpful and friendly, room was clean and very comfortable.

    Room was nicely decorated,the pool and spa facilities were good, the bar was a really lovely area, we didnt eat in restaurant so cant say but looked nice. We used hotel as base to see lincoln which was short drive away, or was bus stop we noticed directly outside hotel on main road into city centre. We did wander over to the brewers fayre pub to sit outside in garden there as weather was lovely and next door so convenient. Hotel looks better inside than the rather dated, tatty, outside of it.

    For those who enjoy walking, excellent location, walkways to city centre well maintained. Hotel accommodation is separate from main building ensuring privacy. Rooms are spacious , well presented & all mod cons. The Hotel is picture perfect and staff more than helpful. Breakfast varied & plentiful, Full Breakfast was very tasty. Evening meals offered a good choice. We had Stilton Burger and Haddock, both were delicious. Definitely a place to stay if visiting Lincoln & surrounding area.

    This lovely property is in an ideal location to explore Lincoln and enjoy the sites of the city. If you have car it’s easy to access and parking is convenient. We enjoyed the privacy and it felt quite relaxing having an outdoor space with a whole place to ourselves. It is well appointed, quiet and comfortable. We will absolutely stay here when we return to Lincoln.

    All of the staff at the hotel and restaurant were wonderful, very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was good and so was our dinner, which we had included in the room rate. There was a lovely outdoor terrace for afternoon tea and pre-dinner drinks. The hotel was located in a pretty village and was only a short drive from Lincoln city centre.
