Kerrissimo, United Kingdom

Absolutely fantastic service. We had a small issue which meant we had to bring oir children with us and the staff were brilliant. We were given a room to fit all 4 of us.

Emma, United Kingdom

Great location within 5 minute walking distance to the Castle and Cathedral. The room was very pleasant with a very attractive 4 poster bed and the usual tea making facilities, There was plenty of storage space with a wardrobe and several chest of drawers, the building was very old but the level of decoration was very high. There was a separate shower room and toilet that was shared with another room, although we never clashed with anyone so this worked ok. There was a spacious communal lounge area with sofa's, large screen TV plus free tea and coffee. Soft drinks, wine and beer were also available from a fridge and paid for on checkout (done on trust}.

It wasnt worth the money £205.00 per night with no breakfast and the fact you couldnt get into your room till 3pm. Far too late after you have been travelling. Also the doors are very old and people kept trying the door until the early hours.
We liked the rustic beams, and the location

“Lincoln was good but the so called hotel let it down”

We were not told due to Christmas fair we could not get to or park at the hotel. having driven into Lincoln and then round and round only to get told we had to park in a field about 4 miles away and come back in on the park and ride bus. The cost of the room was VERY Expensive for what we got over £175.00p and we still had to find somewhere to eat?. A room with breakfast in York OR London would have been cheaper? It was just a room in a row of houses on a street. Would not go again or recommend it to friends. The only plus was the lady did refund the £17.00p that it cost me to get back to the so call hotel from the park and ride. Dave Murray

The curtains and carpet was threadbare in places. Cleaning could be improved as there was a lot of dust and cobwebs especially on the side of the curtain poles, which was very noticeable when drawing the curtains.
The reception area was inviting and the instructions given for late check were good.
