Damon’s Hotel offers accommodation in Lincoln with easy access to the A46. Lincoln castle is 8km away from the property.

Rooms are equipped with a 32-inch flat-screen TV, tea and coffe making facilities and a private bathroom. Damon’s Hotel features free WiFi throughout the property.

Damon's hotel exceeded our expectations on every level. The room was excellent, with plenty of space and a comfortable bed. Whilst we didn't eat at the accompanying restaurant, we did use the bar, which, like the hotel, was excellent value for money. We will stay here again, and we will make more use of the onsite facilities.

    The location was perfect to be able to explore Lincoln day and night. Being so close to the stunning Cathedral was lovely and seeing it lit up of a night time was magical. The staff were so helpful and welcoming. Lovely breakfast too. 😋

    The apartment is in former stables near the West Common. Conversion sympathetic to the building, very ‘Lincoln’. Beautiful cobbled courtyard. Quiet pretty location. The budget option was cosy, well designed and we felt welcome with generous tea/coffee/sundries provision. Very clean. Easy access and departure.

    Location excellent for visiting the Cathedral and Castle and the old quaint streets. Plenty of places nearby to eat. Approx 10 mins walk, down hill to Brayford Quay. The accomodation is very comfortable and the interior design is pleasing to the eye. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and definitely would like to stay again.

    I stayed in a lovely, clean & very well designed, small but not poky, motel style room. Communication with the owner could not have been more pleasant and the use of a parking permit until 3pm on leaving day was very much appreciated. The Brayford is a short & pleasant walk from the centre of Lincoln.

    Wonderful location in a cul de sac right beside the castle and cathedral. Private parking free directly opposite. Excellent breakfast, friendly and helpful staff. Dog friendly. Lovely building, period features, excellent interior design. Quiet room, well equipped with chairs and two televisions (!). Places to eat nearby or could brave the aptly named Steep Hill to the livelier student eateries, like Wagamama. We’d go again like a shot.
