The Wishing Well

We went for a family meal to celebrate a birthday, the food was delicious with lots of choice, everything sounded good. The service was excellent. Good selection of ales and my husband enjoyed a pint of local Stamford ale. We were made to feel very welcome and would definitely recommend. Thank you

Stayed for 2 nights to meet family. Room was extremely expensive. Very basic with limited storage, a broken coat hanger. A rip in the duvet cover. Access via external fire exit stairs as internal dark and unsafe. Room was not serviced during our stay. Over priced and no breakfast included. Very thin walls and tired decor eg frayed carpet on landing. Old furniture dumped in several areas of garden and in upstairs room visible to guests. Accommodation definitely not justifying daily rate. Had evening meals on 2 occasions and no complaint. The restaurant staff attentive and food and drinks good. Shame about the bedrooms.

Very good value for money with regard to the prices paid. Stayed with a friend for Burghley Horse Trials so had a twin room. The beds were comfy, the room was clean, there was tea and coffee. The shower was not brilliant but better if you just used it as hand held so was adequate. Breakfasts did not start until 9.30 pm which was a bit unusual so we just eat at the event. Friendly staff and although a pub it really did shut down after 11.00pm so we were not bothered by noise. For the money we paid if you just want some clean accommodation would recommend.

This is is usually one of our favourite haunts. The food is reliably good and the atmosphere great. However visiting when the boss’ were away was a different story. The first clue that all would not be well was a long wait for our prebooked table. Service was slow and chaotic. Cutlery was all over the bar. We waited long times for drinks and some young waitress ‘ service was surly and slow. They seemed more keen to be propping the bar themselves , gossiping and drinking coffee. Food service was so slow. We kept being told that they ‘were literally playing up..’ after twenty minutes still no food. Lots of lost opportunities to sell drinks. The food when it arrived was good but waiting 1.5 hours before the starter was unacceptable. Waiting staff need training on manners and getting on with the job rather than gossiping. The owners are good and they need to know what is happening when staff aren’t supervised. Disappointing!

We met friends here and had a great evening. Lovely environment, great food and very attentive friendly staff. Would definitely recommend, we'll be back very soon as need to try some more dishes on the menu.

We booked in, only to be told we don’t do cooked breakfast we give you a box they banged on the bedroom door at 2330 and left it in the hallway. The fridge was too small to fit them in mind you it was bigger than the tv. The meal was average but didn’t have coke or Pepsi in a can or bottle only flat pump stuff, they tried three times to get a Bacardi and coke with any sort of fizz so I gave up. We won’t be back we got up and went out for breakfast instead of relaxing in the hotel.
