The William Cecil offers a fabulous stay within Stamford right on the edge of the Burleigh estate. The hotel itself is a very old building that has been transformed into a comfortable stay location for guests and events alike. The staff could not be more accommodating to the needs of their guests, to the extent where the manager lent my wife his own personal umbrella to head into town during a rain shower. Overall an excellent stay and we would definitely return again should we visit Stamford onceoree in the future

Unfortunately, we were situated in an area of the hotel that was being renovated. The room was very small with uneven floors. The fan provided was broken and there wasn't enough plugs to run the fridge, fan and coffee. The service provided was good. the food served was delicious. For the price we paid I felt it was very over priced for the quality of the room. I have stayed in mecures and Premier Inns for a lot less and the quality of rooms were better.
