Parking was easy and safe. The room was clean and the owner was very friendly and helpful. The continental breakfast was good and it was nice to have real milk in the fridge, rather than the long life one usually offered. Reasonably priced and right in the centre of town, would definitely stay again.

The hotel is in an old building but clean with good internet. The breakfast was provided in the room and was just what we needed. The hotel is only a few minutes walk from the town centre. Excellent and we hope to return

It was a clean room, with a beautiful white duvet cover, and white towels in the bathroom.
The breakfast is in a cupboard and a fridge and is a fine breakfast, with bread, yogurt, jams, and cereal, with tea, coffee, hot chocolate.
The Candlesticks is very different, which is lovely.

This property is conversion of 3 old cottages, so stairs are narrow, it's a Mish mash of corridors and rooms. The adjourned carpark is small, room for 6 cars at a push. This hotel has a restaurant but doesn't serve breakfast in it, breakfast items are supplied in your room. Our room was small and if not for the portable heater would have been cold, two separate beds, our friends next door it was the same. The bathroom was adequate, but the small wall heater didn't work, so it stayed cool. The hotel location for the centre of Stamford is good, short walk across a park, or access via the main road. Would I stay here again not sure.
