Just 300 meters from Lincoln Cathedral and the medieval castle, Bail House offers luxury rooms, secured parking and a cosy guest lounge.
“My recent stay at the Bail House and Mews was very enjoyable. First off, the location was excellent, being only a short walk from the Cathedral and the Castle and near the Tourist Information Centre. From the room I stayed in, I could even see the towers of the Cathedral. There were plenty of good places to eat nearby as well. Breakfast was available on the premises, and was very good as well. The customer service at the Bail House was excellent from start to finish. They provided prompt and courteous confirmation of my booking within hours of having made it. On arrival, I was made very welcome, feeling that my hosts were sincere in their appreciation of my business. The room I was provided was clean, quiet and comfortable and had all the expected amenities. I appreciated the fact that the premises were quite secure and clean. There was an honour snack stand and bar as well and access to a computer in a charming common room. Everything about the property was admirable and I would stay there again in a heartbeat.”
