The room was basic but clean and comfortable. No Wi-Fi password was provided and there was no staff to provide it. Tried calling the number for after-hours help but received no reply.

Clear directions and access instructions. Very clean room and bathroom, loads of complimentary tea & coffee, very generous supply of milk too. Extra pillows in the wardrobe along with a couple of fluffy bathrobes (the private bathroom was across the corridor). The bed was a bit soft & springy for my liking and the room was very warm when I arrived (the radiator was on fairly high) and I couldn't open the window - there was a sign on the window apologising and saying not to open it due to it being broken. Overall though, a very clean and pleasant well appointed room.

The property was very quirky and modern and only 5 mins walk from the Cathedral quarter. Our stay was very comfortable and everything we needed in the property was there. A Fabulous place to stay and very reasonably priced too. Would highly recommend, and will be back when we visit Lincoln again.

The BnB was very easy to find and the instructions were simple to enter my room. The room was clean and loved the country details, i would recommend to stay again. The only thing i had a problem with was paying for the room on arrival as no staff was around to collect on the day.

Good points.... Very comfortable bed. Nice clean room. Reasonably priced. Great location for Cathedral and Castle. Room for improvement points... Supply shower gel, Shampoo, or make it clear on booking that it is not supplied. Make it easier to access the property. Shame that the restaurant had restricted open times, so was closed for our stay.

Fantastic place, easy walking distance from the Train, and then to the Cathedral, Castle and Strep Street. Clean and spacious. The only slightest negative was the door handles to the room and bathroom were rather loose and hard to use. I 100% recommend and would stay again

No guest WiFi, NOT a hotel!!!

The room was clean and comfortable. Shower and bathroom space is really tiny. The biggest issue for me was the fact that there was NO guest wifi. Also there is an awful smell when you walk up the stairs to the rooms. The check in experience was not very positive either. I had to look for someone to pay my bill. He did not know any details about my booking or my rate. He did not offer my a receipt when I paid.
