Attending a conference in LIncoln, I stayed in The Ivory Guest House for 2 nights in April and was very comfortable and well-looked after. My room and the general facilities were clean, quiet and had everything I needed. The place is a short walk from the centre of town, and near the cathedral, so ideally placed for a visit. James...

We spent a very comfortable 3 nights here visiting relatives and we were allowed to arrive on Christmas Day using a key safe. Hosts were away but popped in to make sure we were ok and left a self service continental breakfast for us for boxing day morning. By the second morning normal breakfast service was resumed with excellent bacon... More

You would not expect to find accommodation of this quality on a street that has frankly seen better days. Rooms beautifully furnished and comfortable. Everything sparkling clean. Welcoming and informative hosts. Excellent and generous breakfasts, beautifully cooked. House is only a short walk away from the lively centre of Lincoln. Much to see of historic interest - more than we... More

Do not be put off by the outside appearance of the property. This is a great value for money Guest House. The interior is first class, we stayed longer than we intended to do as it was that good, we had four nights 9th to 13th Sept. and had a great time. Our host James was excellent and produced top...

We echo Cannelloni's comments. Despite first appearances our stay from May 1-3 was excellent. Parking is on the street but we had no problem finding a space, and James had the permit in-hand as we came through the door. Our room was on the (english) first floor. If you are over 6'-2" mind your head on the stair turn. Room... More

We stayed in Room 4 for 2 nights on 23 and 24 March 2012 and were made very comfortable. The guest house is very clean and nicely decorated and we found the room with its en-suite more than adequate. There was plenty of storage and the bathroom was well fitted-out. The bed was especially comfortable. Only grouses were that the... More

We stayed in room four. The size of the room was fine. Bed linen. towels and decor nice, with a good standard of cleanliness. Pleased that our en-suite had a bath (with shower over).However, a little work needs to be carried out to cover some exposed pipes,to create a more finished appearance. The view from our window was not pleasant.... More
