Ok, to be brutally honest, I would need to have a good reason to visit Gainsborough again. But if I did, I would not hesitate going back to the Hickman Hill.

We had the best rib-eye... More

The curtains and carpet looked like they had been there since the 70s!The breakfast was ok, service... More

Had a very comfortable stay in this hotel. I got a warm welcome and was well looked after. Also, the room was great- comfortable, quiet and attractive. In the morning I enjoyed a tasty breakfast. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

Had a super stay at the Hickman Hill Hotel while visiting Lincoln Christmas market. The charming hosts could not have been more helpful and the food was as excellent as the hospitality. Will definately stay there again if I'm in the area. Many thanks - Julia

7 of us stayed for work purposes for a number of days. The rooms were very comfortable and clean. Michelle and Rob were excellent hosts and really looked after us. The food was excellent, all lovingly prepared and cooked by Rob. Would definitely stay again.
