Top Lincoln Zoo Hotel Reviews

The Adam & Eve

10/10 Excellent

"Cooked breakfast was top notch, I stay away every week for work and that’s one of the best I’ve had. Room was clean and modern and WiFi was good enough to get the Xbox on. Staff were very nice. Would recommend. Only things I’d suggest if I was being picky would be a bowl of fruit to take from at breakfast. TV could’ve been bigger in the room. Other than that can’t complain thank you."

Charming Hen Cottage Countryside Retreat Lincoln

10/10 Excellent

"John met us at the gate on our arrival, the property was absolutely spotless . The added touches were absolutely amazing. Not a sound to be heard . A beautiful garden , orchard and an added bonus of a gorgeous little church. We can’t praise our trip enough everyone we could have hoped for and more. Our little dog Albie was able to wander around outside and was welcomed on our arrival. The kitchen had everything you could wish for including a washer, dryer and dishwasher. Even a BBQ outside the door with table , chairs and deckchairs. 100% in every way possible. Highly recommend a stay here . We will definitely be back again for another lovely stay. Ideally situated for visiting Lincoln and the surrounding areas.5* rating at least for the hosts and their property"
