Excellent

Liked: We had a 2 night break, the location is excellent within walkig distance of the town centre and access to Burghley Park. Good parking. The staff were excellent, especially Bella who organised a change of rooms with less stairs. Millys restaurant was good, staff very helpful good breakfast , varied menu. Room comfortable nice toiletries and good shower. Fresh milk and plenty of tea and coffee making facilities. Overall an excellent stay.
Disliked: A lift would have been good but with the age of the hotel not possible. Lots of stairs.

Exceptional

It was an ok stay.

Liked: Cleanliness of rooms was relatively good Breakfast was good
Disliked: The smaller of the rooms we booked (Room 26) was quite dated (especially around the window frames where the paint was peeling and chipped.We also had an issue where we checked in late (as we arrived to stay after leaving a wedding locally). The hotel had been repainting some of the room doors (including that of the superior room we booked (Room 2)) so it took 10-15 mins to find the room with the night porter as there was no temporary signage put up! A piece of paper taped to the door would have been helpful.

Lovely hotel in great location...

Liked: Location
Disliked: Road noise .Poor service . Staff not welcoming! Staff didn’t engage with guests

Superb

Handy location

Liked: Located near station, town centre & Burghley House. Plenty of available on-site parking. Quaint old building.
Disliked: Our room was very small and cramped. Difficult to walk around end of bed. Only 1 hard wooden chair to sit on. Had to walk down 4 steps from bed to on-suite toilet & no night light. Other rooms may be better value but our room was overpriced.
