The property was in a lovely little town with its own private parking. Very clean room and friendly staff. The only downside was the room was absolutely red hot with double windows (old sash windows with double glazing over the top) no ventilation or airflow in the room.

No food available
The room was large, clean and attractive and even had a four poster bed. But we were disappointed to find out on arrival that the hotel had closed it's restaurant so there were no meals available. Whilst there were good local options for breakfast, there were no other eat in restaurants open for an evening meal in Alford. Our room looked over the town square with a huge bay window, but this offered little privacy so we had to keep the curtains closed. The room was warm but there was no ventilation and none of the windows opened.

Lovely hotel. Warm and friendly welcome. The room was modern and very clean with everything we needed. Lovely view over the market square. Surprisingly quiet too.. we left our window open overnight and wasn’t disturbed once. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

The reception and staircase smell musty and unpleasant but the room was ok. Comfy bed and ok shower. Quiet and close to takeaways. No food but a cafe next door recommended by staff who were friendly and helpful.

Attention to detail needed
This review is intended to be in the interest of improving the overall experience. The hotel is in a great location with car parking in a small Lincolnshire village, at the corner of the Market square. This is a listed property with some nice features. The owners are striving to modernise the hotel creating comfortable affordable modern accommodation. The room we stayed in was on the whole clean but attention to detail was needed with the cleaning. Dust and cobwebs in certain areas of the room. Bathroom had certain areas that the cleaner had missed. The room was cold, the radiator was lukewarm. I did go back to reception and mention this and they gave me a fan heater. The beds were comfortable but more pillows are needed, again extra pillows given on request. To access the rooms is via wooden staircase, again dust on bannister spindles. Don’t know if there is disabled access. The staff were friendly and attentive and happy to share the history of the place. I think this hotel is suffering from being understaffed. A few more staff members would make a wealth of difference on attention to detail and in turn deliver a great great customer experience. Honest opinion is that in its current form I would not stay again but would be happy too if the changes were made.
