DoubleTree by Hilton Lincoln

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were pleasant. The room was clean. The shower was powerful."

The Lincoln Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location for Lincoln city centre. Hotel staff are welcoming and friendly. Car park was good and safe. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Nice restaurant area although it is best to book for busy times. The decor is a little out dated but they are currently undergoing refurbishment so will look good when finished. All in all a very pleasant hotel. We would definitely stay again."

Belton Woods Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean, staff were more than friendly and helpful for anything needed. Food is delicious and the atmosphere at the bars are brilliant. The fact you get to use the spa facilities (pool & gym) is also an added bonus. Would definitely recommend for a nice weekend break away or even just a night."
