Free parking - I arrived early in the day for an event in Stamford (not at the hotel). It was busy as a wedding was going on. Friendly staff. Clean room and very comfortable bed. Lovely hot shower when I got back late and whilst I initially thought the fan type air con would keep me awake it didn’t. Fresh milk in the fridge for a hot drink rather than plastic pots. Breakfast excellent. Would stay again.
Beautiful hotel
Evening Meal was good.
Good location
Had a problem with the shower but they moved us to a different (better) room without any fuss
Nothing really wrong - just perhaps not the best overall as other places we have stayed
A very attractive hotel near the town
Good parking available
Lovely bedroom
First impressions very good with attractive grounds and gardens
Dining room was a modern bistro and lacked the ambience of the rest of the hotel although the food was very good.
The conservatory breakfast room was very crowded and oppressively hot - we had to move through a very crowded space to the buffet table next door to make toast etc.
Hotel was in a good location with path to burghley house. Hotel is nice and breakfast was lovely.
We was put in a room right next to wedding disco and base was making the room vibrate. Hotel didnt have courtesy of telling us and phone didn't work to call reception. Music went on till 12am
Stayed in a fantastic room (no 11 Chinois). Superb decor and comfort.
room was ecxcellent
it is what is- a fine , small hotel
Breakfast
Staff need hospitality training.
No Lighting to find entrance. Needs signage
The building's interior, each passage, each common room was kept as a reflection of the estate. The food was good. Although an oversalted avocado toast was inedible.
The gardens were nice.
The staff were friendly and accommodating!
The sparseness of shelving in or near the bathing area in the guest room. A stool was provided.
Breakfast was good and had a good selection
