"A pleasant stay with obliging staff and good food"

7.0

Excellent position on the edge of Burleigh House grounds and a 10 minute walk from town . Food was good in Millys Bistro staff all very polite and pleasant

Room 7 was a little cramped for a twin bedded room for senior citizens 🤔Hubby is 6 ft tall and fireplace mantelpiece was quite dangerous for him getting out of bed during the night as our age group need to do frequently . Also the shower cubicle in room 7 was very small . Lots of elbows bashing against the shower screen during shower time . Maybe check height of people being allocated this room ?? Sorry to seem to be whinging but room 7 was also noisy with traffic passing We tried to close the window properly several times but couldn’t fasten it closed and it was draughty . Maybe have a look at the lock on the window . Despite all this we would come back but definitely ask not to be allocated room 7

"Lovely hotel. Best hotel restaurant food I’ve eaten for ages. Will be returning in February."

9.0

Beautiful hotel. Quite grand feeling and in keeping with Stamford’s general style and ambience.

Our room was above a noisy kitchen fan , but the manager, Sergio, was quick to address this and made everything right.

"Wonderful mid winter break in a cosy four star hotel full of historical references and charm. Staff were very attentive,"

9.0

Clean and well-appointed spacious ‘cosy’ room with all mod cons including wall mounted tv, DAB radio, coffee machine and tea making facilities. Large on-suite bathroom with bath and shower.

Double bed was comfortable however the soft mattress might not be to everyone’s liking. It was perfectly acceptable for our recent two night stay.

"A hotel that has high aspirations but has become complacent and tiered. Resting on their laurels rather than striving to"

7.0

Generally good, some areas need attention to move it to excellent.

Staffing seemed variable, some shone as excellent, some really needed a better attitude, it was just a job rather than making the guests feel valued. (Especially applies to the restaurant.)

"Excellent stay and thanks to Rachel who made us welcome she is an asset to the hotel"

9.0

We liked almost everything about our stay breakfast was good evening meal and we loved the garden area and there were two guys providing afternoon entertainment guitars and singing which was lovely very relaxing

Not that I didn't like but a little more choice on evening menu would be good
