What to Do in Lincoln: A 3-Day Itinerary from Washingborough Hall

We booked to stay here for my mums 80th birthday and it was amazing. Fantastic staff and excellent food. The staff were so accommodating and friendly. Couldn't do enough for us. Lovely, relaxing place to stay and ideally situated for further sightseeing adventures.

We were fortunate enough to attend a party at Washingborough Hall recently, and yet again we were blown away by the beautiful setting and impeccable service. It was a lovely evening and we enjoyed delicious canapés outside before a wonderful meal in the dining room. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff who always had smiles on their faces.

Stunning small country house hotel, warm and cosy atmosphere, relaxed and friendly staff.
Stayed just one night this time for a big birthday, we were upgraded to a lovely suite which had views over the beautiful garden a huge bedroom and gorgeous bathroom with large victorian freestanding bath, felt rather luxurious . Bed was huge and extremely comfortable we had a great nights sleep.

The staff were all really polite, friendly and helpful - nothing seemed to be too much trouble.
We live in Lincolnshire and didn’t even know this place existed. We were gifted a voucher for our stay here by our children and they couldn’t have chosen better!
Now we just need to find an excuse to visit again!

This hotel is in a beautiful setting, with ample parking and very comfortable rooms. The breakfasts are excellent, and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. It is a very charming place.

All of the staff were professional, friendly and helpful, they really cared and looked as they enjoyed there work. Our room was spotlessly clean with its own outside entrance, large and very comfortable. The food was absolutely delicious and cooked and severed to perfection. It was lovely to see venison wellington on the menu which was exceptional.

As usual very friendly.. cosy .. fabulous food …
We had 4 friends join us for a meal and a table was set up for us in the room next to the bar .. it was perfect especially as 2 friends are not enjoying good health presently… we thank you for that…

Lovely place to stay for a family reunion. Very comfortable, very good food and great staff. Very reasonably priced for the quality of the stay. Lovely grounds, a quiet location with a nice walk down by the river. Close to Lincoln and all its tourist attractions.

My husband & I recently stayed for one night at Washingborough Hall for dinner, bed & breakfast.We stayed in the Ingleby Suite - which is absolutely gorgeous room with lovely views across the front lawns of this hotel. The en suite bathroom is large and has a great roll top bath & walk in shower. Our evening meal was really tasty and used some local produce. Breakfast, again, was really plentiful and served in the cosy bar area as there weren't many guests staying. The staff are cour... Read more

The Washingborough was a fantastic treat and completely different to the regular chain hotels. This boasts antique furnishings, interesting paintings and quirky sitting areas. We just loved our stay and every single member of staff went out of their way to make it enjoyable. Big thanks to all.

My husband and I are lucky to have time away in beautiful places and I can honestly say Washingborough Hall is the best hotel we have ever stayed in! The staff are a pure delight, nothing is too much trouble and everything is done with such friendliness and style. The food is superb, we ate both evenings in the restaurant and enjoyed great service and a relaxing ambience. Our room was perfect, very clean and well appointed ,with a view over the garden. We enjoyed quiet undisturbed sleep, which I... Read more

I visited this fabulous hotel for my partners birthday. The staff was so welcoming and could not do enough for you. The rooms are stunning and the food was out of this world. I could not recommend a better place to stay. It should be a 5 star hotel.

Just a really great place run by management with high standard who obviously create great morale amongst their staff to deliver a first class guest experience. Stylish, upmarket, traditional with a odern twist 'Washy' as it is affectionately called ticks all the boxes. Hats off to the brigade in the kitchen as we had a fantastic meal. Fine dining is often 'anything but', however, these guys really know their stuff and place emphasis on great local produce cooked to perfection. Super comfy rooms ... Read more

This lovely hotel was just what we needed after months of lockdown. Welcoming, comfortable and relaxing. Absolutely loved it. The staff are wonderfully friendly and helpful. The food was superb served in a stunning restaurant - just perfect. Bed was comfortable and room quiet - good nights sleep both nights. Would thoroughly recommend and want to return.

We did a bargain break here which included 2 nights bed, breakfast and diner, as well as transport to, and a free entry into Lincoln Cathedral

Our room was absolutely super, as was the bathroom and the four poster bed.

Breakfast was excellent, as was diner each evening. Drinks were not expensive and the ambience of the hotel was lovely. The staff were very helpful. We would willingly stay again.

The hotel is welcoming and relaxing with helpful staff both professional and friendly. My room had a very comfortable bed and a luxurious bathroom which was squeaky clean. Lunch and dinner were outstanding; a varied seasonal menu using locally sourced produce and vegetables cooked to perfection; desserts to die for and a great selection of cheeses. Breakfast for me included home made granola, fruit salad and pastries which were delicious.Great for those of us who skip the full English although i... Read more

A quite splendid stay and we could not have wished for more. Friendly and efficient staff, delightful surroundings and excellent bar and dining facilities. We are sorry that we do not have an excuse to return. We loved every aspect and it is but a short drive to Lincoln City and its magnificent Cathedral.
