Guest Reviews "The food was a taste sensation so fresh and delightful"

Enjoyed Afternoon Tea with my Sister in law. The service provided by friendly polite staff was timed to perfection, being attentive but not overly intrusive. The food was a taste sensation so fresh and delightful. The table setting was perfect with fine bone china.
Beautiful country building well maintained and sympathetically set, with a pleasant calming atmosphere which was welcoming. Highly recommend.

The food was delicious. The beef was perfectly cooked & so tender. Breakfast was also delicious with excellent bacon & sausage in the full English. I look forward to staying there again.

Guest Reviews 'The food was out of this world'

I can't say enough good things about this fantastic hotel. Every member of staff was so lovely and helpful and the food was out of this world. Our room was superb.
The grounds are gorgeous and well kept. We had two evening meals and two breakfasts and they were faultless.
We were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary and couldn't have made a better choice. Thank you to all of the staff who made it such a memorable two days.

Guest Reviews This is a beautiful little family run hotel near Lincoln.

This is a beautiful little family run hotel near Lincoln. The grounds are lovely, the room we had was delightful and also had a little shared courtyard area, we reserved dining in the evening and the meal was delicious as was the breakfast the following day. All the staff were delightful, all said they were happy working for the family and it showed. We would live to stay there again.

Guest Reviews Such an amazing hotel

We had a really delicious breakfast in the morning, the poached egg was cooked to perfection and had the best sausages. They had a really good selection of foods so everyone can find their favourite.

Guest Reviews excellent restaurant

Enjoyed dinner in the restaurant - the best meal of our short break (mains were very tender venison and vegetables cooked to perfection). Breakfast was freshly cooked with high quality ingredients - loved the sausage.

Guest Reviews Autumn's here......wellingtons on the menu!

Aside the fabulous staff, the great room and night's sleep, and the wonderful ambiance throughout the hotel, I'd like to lord praise here on the restaurant staff both kitchen and front-of-house. The menu is dizzy with choice, but I settled on the Stilton soufflé, and for main the venison wellington. Both were utterly dazzling.....my compliments to the chef, and the waiting staff who looked after me so well.

Guest Reviews Nothing stuffy about this little gem of a Grade II listed house!

We have been to Washingborough Hall a few times for Sunday Lunch, Evening meals, wakes, etc., over the years, but decided to have an evening meal and stay overnight.
Hotel full of character, very welcoming, and comfortable, and the whole ambience just encourages you to relax.
