Breakfast was fine, and food generally good.
Appreciate the age of the building, but the room was very poor for a four star hotel.The fittings were abysmal, and some not fit for purpose and others somewhat rough and possibly a danger.
This is was our experience of room no. 2 Troy ,
Disappointing for a special occasion.
Breakfast was very good, cooked offerings very tasty.
Could not open the bedroom window so it felt stuffy. Would not like to be there in summer!! The bathroom was very dark and a bit dingy, could do with an upgrade.
Alt, renovierungsbedürftig
Mooi tuintje met voorjaarsbloemen (sneeuwklokjes). Comfortabele kamer. Rustig. Zeer verzorgd aanbod koffie/ thee. Kleine extra’s (verzorgingsproducten badkamer, melk in frigo, koekjes…)waren heel fijn. Lekker avondmaal en lekker ontbijt. Zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel.
Bed was vrij klein voor 2 personen.
The location was absolutely perfect. Everything we needed was so accessible. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the rooms were immaculate and comfortable and the food was outstanding. The hotel was beautiful and had a warm and welcoming atmosphere. I just wish we could have stayed longer.
Having to leave!
Great room
Easy access to Stamford and garden kissing gate access into Burghley House parkland. Good restaurant set meal. Helpful staff.
Very comfortable and welll equipped room
Staff are very friendly
Lunch was out of this world , the food was the best we have had in a long time
Breakfast needs better organising , the full English we had was excellent.. however the ‘breakfast room ‘ needs to be better organised, the water / drinks bar area and table where you help yourself to toast and pastries was not what we expected for this calibre of hotel , looked like it had all be thrown on the table in a hurry
main entrance was not obvious on first arriving, looked more like the entrance into a restrauant.
Lovely staff very friendly great location
The mens toilers were a bit tired compared to rest of hotel TV in room not hanging straight and a bit small lots of stairs to bedroom but it is an old hotel so to be accepted and these are very minor issues the hotel is lovely
Loved the room, the place, the food and location
It was a surprise at checkout to have service charges applied to everything automatically, even for a drink and cup of tea which I would happily have got and taken to our table but was told it would be brought to us.
The breakfast was amazing
Didn't know in advance that the room was in an 'annex'
Excellent position on the edge of Burleigh House grounds and a 10 minute walk from town . Food was good in Millys Bistro staff all very polite and pleasant
Room 7 was a little cramped for a twin bedded room for senior citizens 🤔Hubby is 6 ft tall and fireplace mantelpiece was quite dangerous for him getting out of bed during the night as our age group need to do frequently . Also the shower cubicle in room 7 was very small . Lots of elbows bashing against the shower screen during shower time . Maybe check height of people being allocated this room ?? Sorry to seem to be whinging but room 7 was also noisy with traffic passing
We tried to close the window properly several times but couldn’t fasten it closed and it was draughty . Maybe have a look at the lock on the window . Despite all this we would come back but definitely ask not to be allocated room 7
Very relaxing stay in a comfortable room
Good location for facilities in Stamford.
