Service
9.6
Staff are frequently described as helpful, cheerful and accommodating (easy check-in, attentive in restaurant); a small number of negative service interactions reported (guest made to feel unwelcome; refund request handled poorly) but overall service sentiment is strongly positive.
Location
9.7
Location repeatedly praised — convenient for Cadwell Park, pleasant setting near Louth, good for walking dogs and weddings; consistently seen as a strong asset.
Room Quality
8.7
Rooms often called spacious and comfortable with good beds and views; some rooms feel a bit tired or dated and there were isolated issues (TV not working, shower screen faults, windows that wouldn't open, wet floors from over-bath showers).
Amenities
8.2
Good on facilities generally (restaurant, dog-friendly, downstairs bedrooms), but some missing/poor amenities noted (no fans, no grab rails, heating overly high, suggestion for net curtains) indicating uneven provision.
Value for Money
8
Mixed perceptions: some guests felt pricing was sensible for the room standard, while others felt the property was dated for the price and criticised breakfast portions/value.
Food and Beverage
9.2
Restaurant and breakfasts are frequently praised (lovely food, generous portions, excellent breakfast); isolated poor breakfast experiences reported but overall F&B is a clear strength.
Overall Experience
9.5
Many guests report very positive stays (weddings, repeat visits, hidden gem), with good food, location and service driving satisfaction; occasional disturbances or maintenance issues temper some experiences.

A lovely hotel and great staff!
Pros:

Good location and lovely grounds for a wedding venue. The staff were absolutely brilliant. All were happy, welcoming and helpful, especially as the temperatures were extreme. They alone would make me visit again.

Cons:

It did t have air conditioning and we stayed during a heatwave. I’ll forgive them for this though, not many UK hotels outside of cities have air con. A fan in the room would have helped, though.

Pros:

Setting

Cons:

Decor is dated, bed not too comfortable
Prom night, so carpark and entrance road busy, waited quite a while for check in. But otherwise, Prom group didn’t affect our stay.

Would be nice in cooler weather
Pros:

Great

Cons:

The room was very very hot.. We had to request a fan which was provided immediately but this was a dog friendly room as well and after paying £25 extra would of thought the room would of been more suitable..

I like the hotel but a hoover over the floor would have resolved the dog hair and TV didn't work.
Pros:

Hotel is well situated for me for my work.

Cons:

There seemed to be clumps of dog hair all over the floor in my room. The TV did not work

A nice hotel for the price.
Pros:

A nice hotel for the price in a lovely location. The breakfast was very good with nice quality produce. Staff were friendly and helpful. The room was well equipped and comfortable with a nice view from the window.

Cons:

There was a poster in the reception area stating you could purchase a bottle of wine for £14. This offer turned out to be a takeaway price only for people staying in lodges and not for hotel guests, it's misleading.

Rubbish, never again and would not recomend to anyone.
Pros:

The only staff members that were friendly and could raise a smile were the 2 ladies on breakfast duties.
And they could speak.

Cons:

The whole of the bar and dinning room team looked like they didn't want to be there, service without the smile.
