I'd like to say what a lovely hotel and location, I grew up in Lincoln in the 80s and my goodness it has changed for the better, lovely view of the Cathedral, the Brayford pool and also with many pubs and restaurants (pubs, traditional English fare (Fish and Chips with Mushy peas), Asian Fusion, High end Burger joints and others) within easy walking distance along the pedestrian walkway. The hotel staff were so nice, friendly and accommodating and the breakfast was excellent, with the view from the breakfast room towards the Cathedral on the top of the hill. I drove up directly from LHR and it was a nice 3 hour drive with the hotel having it's own parking making easy to check in with luggage. (Note: the hotel parking was additional but not over the top, if you have GPS follow the route all the way to the hotel, you will have to drive on the pedestrian area for a few. yards, but this is allowed for vehicles that need access). For all you history buffs, this is a great destination, the city center itself, Roman ruins, the Cathedral and Castle including the Magna Carta. Its a 20 minute uphill walk to the Cathedral and Castle from the hotel, so everything you need to see is walkable. read more
