Scopri il tuo soggiorno a Branston

This was the first time we had used a self service hotel, we were impressed with the facilities, it had a communal kitchen and lounge the bedroom was comfortable and clean, we had a fridge which had the continental breakfast in and on (which you were asked to eat in the kitchen). If and when we go to Lincoln again this hotel will be looked at first.

Great room,great price and added extras a bonus,clean and comfy would definitely recommend and stay again

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.

We stayed overnight during a brief surprise visit to see our daughter at uni. The White Hart is a gorgeous mixture of traditional historic exterior and furniture/ decor with a modern dining room and bathrooms. The staff were all very welcoming and pleasant, especially the man at the bar and the cleaning lady. We had a cathedral view which was lovely, and I believe most rooms have either a cathedral or castle view. Our double room was spotless, as was the rest of the hotel ( a difficult feat considering the age of the building) and the modern shower was the best shower I've ever had ( the shower gel also smelt gorgeous!). Breakfast is served in the Grille restaurant. There was a good choice of both continental and cooked breakfast options, with table service for tea/coffee and cooked breakfasts. Despite it being quite busy (around 7.30ish), we didn't have to wait long for our freshly cooked locally sourced fry-up to appear. It was delicious! Overall, our brief stay was fabulous, and we felt like it was more of a 4* hotel than a 3*! Sadly they will be closed for refurbishment on our next scheduled visit, but we hope to stay again at some point in the future !
