Anne United Kingdom

Property clean and beautifully appointed.Hosts were extremely helpful at all times! Great value and great location.

Gareth United Kingdom

a beautifully presented, spotless en-suite room situated in a separate news building at the rear of the Inn. Hosts were amazing and really helpful with our delayed arrival and providing local taxi info. The breakfast was simply delicious (full English) and I’ve never seen such perfectly poached eggs before !!

Stephen United Kingdom

The location question that these reviews insist on asking is meaningless. Why would I book somewhere in a place where I don't want to be? Does it mean immediate location, or general location (region? locality?). Anyway we booked somewhere where we wanted to be, and we were very happy with all aspects of our stay. Thanks to our hosts!

Phillip United Kingdom

Good room, welcome and breakfast. Sorry to travel on a night when the restaurant was closed.

David United Kingdom

The room was quite small and so was the shower, however it was very peaceful and well appointed. Everything was clean and tidy and well stocked with toiletries and teas, coffees etc. Breakfast was big and plentiful, with everything freshly cooked; it set me up very nicely for the day! Dinner in the evening was excellent, a very nice selection and for the price it was more than enough and frankly much better than some food I've tasted in a Michelin-starred restaurant! Overall, the Lincolnshire Poacher is EXCELLENT value and will be the first choice for myself and colleagues, when we next are working in the area.
