I had planned to stay in Lincoln city centre (visiting daughter at uni) but found Woodcocks on the hotels.com website and liked the look of it, and the price. It didn't disappoint - lovely room, great setting in rural surroundings but 10 minutes into town, easy access and parking, warm welcome and service and a bar with darts/pool etc to round off the evening. We will definitely be back.

Absolutely loved my stay at The Duke William, the staff were super friendly and welcoming and very helpful. The room was very clean & quiet, however I don’t think it would be quiet in summer as the room (#2) overlooks the garden which is actually the beer garden. However there were other rooms that didn’t face the garden. Be warned though it’s at the top of a very steep hill, I walked from the train station, pretty hard going pulling a suitcase.

Fantastic host looked after us incredibly well, the place is right opposite the Lincolnshire county show ground, peaceful and quiet, we had a lovely walk up and down the bridal path.
The host is an artist and showed us her works which is very impressive.
The site has a new sauna and hot tubs for guests to enjoy.
The breakfast was brought to us at the time we chose.
Loved it and would book again if we are in the area.

What a gem Creston Villa is! Thanks to Anna and Iain who made our stay a real home from home. From the breakfast with lots of choice, including so many jams, marmalades and relishes to homemade cookies to take with us for a later treat. We loved everything and we didn’t need to know anything about Lincoln before our trip, we could’ve learned it all at breakfast! Great location, easy walk into town or use the local bus service from just outside the property. Highly recommend. Thank you x

Stayed for three nights while visiting relatives in Lincoln. Surprised! Excited! Thrilled with the size of bed, the space to move, the bathroom facilities, the wholeness it created for a traveller on the move.

We had a brilliant stay at Brampton Dales Farm B&B, a working farm on the outskirts of the village of Upton. After a warm welcome from the owners and their many animal friends, we settled into a cosy, detached outbuilding of our own. We were given good advice on restaurants and local points of interest. Breakfast was plentiful and Hugh's homemade bread was magnificent! Thank you for a memorable break!

Stayed one night for business trip. The room was perfect, exactly what I needed after a long day. Staff very friendly. Even though I had to leave early I could still have breakfast (previous places I stayed had a set time for breakfast). Will definitely stay at the poplars again. Highly recommend it.
