Fantastic stay!

We had a fantastic stay here whilst attending a wedding nearby. The owners were super helpful in terms of their communication ahead of our booking, as well as in answering all of our questions in the build up. The cooked breakfast in the morning was amazing and we really appreciated their friendliness and their suggestions for things to do in the nearby area. The entire house was very well kept and we would highly recommend staying here - thank you!

What I particularly liked and the primary reason I booked a stay at this B&B was the proximity to the village of Spridlington. A 3 mile country road walk to the church where some of My ancestors are buried. The bonus was how welcoming the hosts were providing a hardy breakfast each morning and friendly chats. The en suite room was very comfortable and quiet.

Tony and Julia were the perfect hosts. Our room was spacious, extremely comfortable and spotlessly clean. Special thought was given in the type of tea and coffee that were in the room and even the homemade cake was just perfect. Breakfast definitely deserves a 20 out of 10. Just superb. Special mention to the Compote… this was amazing.. and homemade too. Our weekend was perfect.. thank you Julia and Tony for your wonderful hospitality… we will definitely visit again. 😊

Outstanding - world-class breakfast.

A great discovery. The breakfast in particular is the sort of thing I'd expect at the Ritz. The hosts are great people too. Probably the best B and B I have stayed in.

I couldn't be more pleased with my two -day stay at the Old Posthouse. Julia and Tony are excellent hosts who do everything they can for their guests. Their friendliness and attention to detail makes the guests' experience second to none. I would happily recommend The Old Posthouse to anyone looking for comfortable accommodation in the Lincoln area.
