We weren't expecting much of the Duke William (they hadn't properly confirmed the booking with laterooms so I had to ring in advance to make sure they had booked us in). All I would say is, be prepared for a very basic experience. We felt they were trying hard to be welcoming and professional. Let down by the detail. Room... More

Located in bailgate a beautiful location very close to the castle and cathedral and historic district a very warm welcome awaited us. The bar/lounge area downstairs has many historic features, explained in detail by a very knowledgeable and friendly host , nothing during our stay was to much trouble. car parking at the rear of the building is a great...

We booked this as a last resort as we needed somewhere to stay for a wedding & on the weekend of the Lincolnshire show, everywhere was booked up. I would in hindsight rather have paid for the long taxi ride home. After being ignored for 15 minutes we were asked to pay upfront, in cash, as the card machine was... More

First impression from the street was welcoming as roaring fire in front bar, it was freezing outside and snowing....... Pleasant young man told us where to park round the back....on entering the small car... More

It says every room has a tv, there isn't a tv in every room. got an unwarm welcome, room was freezing, booked thru late rooms.com, will definitely check reviews in future, the breakfast was quite good, and for £5.00 you can park there all day!!! Does need de cluttering around the breakfast area...

This Hotel is completely inadequate. It is more like a B&B. Bar downstairs, and rooms upstairs. The corridors and decor is failing, and peeling off terribly. In my first room (fist visit), the bathroom stank, and no hot water existed in the taps. Also, the cupboards had someone else dirty clothes in, so I question if the room had actually... More

When we arrived at reception to check in we were greeted by the owner who was speaking in an Easter European accent only for him to start speaking English 10 minutes later after moaning that there were too many foreigners in the area. We found this very odd! We were then taken to our room (room 6) in which the... More
