Hotel terbaik di Grange De Lings

I am an ancient and reasonably crusty retired Army officer. My cum and I visited Duke William for a meal. We walked in at 7 o'clock (1900hrs in real time) and It was heaving! Think pre-Covid rush-hour Underground train. A polite young man (Josh) pointed us (combined age 170) in the right direction. The restaurant was fully booked, and thus we had to return to Josh to order our food. The meal was served remarkably promptly by a charming young lady (Lisa) and was jolly good ('pub grub') in every respect - except: the portions were far too large! When we left, about 2100hrs, the place seemed even fuller, with a mix of all ages present. In addition to the great crowd there was an eclectic selection of well-behaved dogs. I cannot comment of cost, as neither of us had visited a pub since before the wretched Covid. Well done all concerned at 'Duke William', and thanks.

Stayed with my husband on 6th-8th March 2023 while in the area visiting family. I'll start with the good. You couldn't get a better location in Lincoln, the hotel is right opposite Lincoln Cathedral which is beautiful and definitely worth visiting. The Castle is a 5 min walk away and is a must! The Victorian Prison and the Medieval Wall Walk at the Castle are also a must and its a pleasant and interesting way to spend a morning or afternoon. So, five stars for the great location. The staff at the hotel are all pleasant and try hard, and the evening food was very nice and we can recommend eating here in the evening. Now for the bad. On arrival we were booked in for 6th to 8th May, so not a great start. OK so it's early March and the weather is still extremely cold however, the hotel was freezing cold especially in the bar and restaurant area. The first evening I sat with my coat over my lap whilst eating our evening meal to keep warm. I wasn't the only person wearing their coat in the bar area. The room was OK, it looked more tired and worn than the online photo's but I guess that's not unusual. The room it's self was freezing cold, it had one radiator which did work and one old electric wall convection heater that chucked out cold air. We had a view of the cathedral which was stunning but if you want an early night or a lie in in the morning do not book a room with a cathedral view - the bells chime every 15 minutes from 7am to 11pm, I kid you not! But you do get used to it. The main light in our room had a cheap paper white lampshade on it that probably cost £1 from Wilkinson, I think they could have done a bit better than that. The toilet was also not clean on arrival, which is disgusting 😬 My husband went to have a shower and the water was freezing cold, which is unacceptable. The breakfast, well for £14 I wouldn't bother. It was a buffet breakfast, the hot food was cold and the fried eggs were like rubber. There was no choice of coffee and just a jug to help yourself from. Juice consisted of orange or apple and was not cold and left in a jug on the side at room temperature. There is room for lots of improvement where the breakfast is concerned and they would do better to cook fresh to order, which also prevents any waste. We were actually quite pleased to leave although Lincoln is a very pretty city and I would recommend visiting just don't stay at this hotel as it needs lots of improvement.

Firstly I would like to praise the staff in this hotel. We were there as a family for a funeral and the staff were so accommodating, helpful and friendly, going out of their way to make sure we were all fixed up with room arrangements. Shoutout to Rob the night porter who put up with us later in the evening when we hijacked the bar with most of our relatives also. The hotel is apparently an old hospital with the rooms being used previously for nurses. They were quaint and olde world with huge beds and super big bathrooms. Some rooms could maybe do with a lick of paint but they had everything we needed and the location was perfect , right next to the castle and a few minutes from the amazing cathedral. The Stokes cafe/restaurant across the way is all connected to the hotel and you can have a 10% voucher from the hotel reception if you wish to use it. Lovely coffee and food there. Very lucky to book this as it was graduation week in Lincoln, so glad we were successful.

Room: small but sufficient. Bathroom door did not close proprerly so no privacy. Main door did not lock so not great security. Safety deposit box was not working - the batteries had clearly leaked and been removed but not replaced. You can have two cups of tea each but only one cup of cofee between you and one pack of biscuits between you. Bed was comfy though. Service: Got charged 10% service charge for two drinks. I had to wait quite a while to be served at the bar - was apolgised to twice -good to recognise. Then after paying I asked will they bring drinks to table - staff was not happy about this although they had just noted they had charged me for service. Then they came without ice in he drinks as requested - I am sure some will think I am being fussy - but what was the two pounds service charge for? Breakfast -arrived at 10:18 am. Got breakfast at 10:22 am. Yes they apolgised - but we've lost a good chunk of the morning and it was freezing in the dining room. It's rated AA 4 star - I am really not sure why, as to me, it is all about the finer details - severely lacking for a surprise treat with my daughter.
