A Heart-warming 4-star Hotel
Washingborough Hall has an enchanting story to tell. Back in the day it was home to one of Lincolnshire’s richest families, and latterly it provided a comforting base to airmen during World War II. Whatever its guise, the adorable Georgian manor house has found its way into many hearts – read our full story. Today, ‘Washy Hall’ (as its fondly known) is an elegant country house hotel in the heart of Lincolnshire where you’ll be well fed, well wined, and very well looked after.
Here at Washingborough Hall Country House Hotel in Lincolnshire we always have a smile waiting. Whether you join us for a weekend break in Lincoln, or choose to linger longer to explore all Lincolnshire’s best bits.

The afternoon teas look very good too, we plan to go back to try one in the summer so that we can enjoy the garden.
Alex Ingram - Google Review - 04/02/2026Fantastic stay at Washingborough Hall Hotel, with very helpful and friendly staff. Little details and extras made the stay with our dog hassle free. Evening meals and breakfasts were also high points of the experience. Good wifi throughout, comfy rooms, ample car parking.
Annie Singh - Google Review - 01/08/2025This 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.

Tripadvisor review - 20/10/2024All 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.

Tripadvisor review - 29/06/2024We 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.
TRIPADVISOR REVIEW - 22/12/2021Lovely 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.
TRIPADVISOR REVIEW - 08/02/2022My 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

Tripadvisor review - 13/10/2024The 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!
Tripadvisor Review - 14/09/2020Just 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
Lou Maythorne - 16/05/2019The 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.
DavenA 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.
Judy BThe 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
Roger MWe 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.
Tripadvisor Review - 21/09/2020This lovely hotel was just what we needed after months of lockdown. Welcoming, comfortable and relaxing. Absolutely loved it.

Would thoroughly recommend and want to return.
Tripadvisor Review - 20/02/2020I 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.
