A Heart-warming Hotel

Washingborough Hall has an enchanting story to tell. Back in the day it was home to one of Lincolnshire’s richest families, and latterly it provided a comforting base to airmen during World War II. Whatever its guise, the adorable Georgian manor house has found its way into many hearts – read our full story. Today, ‘Washy Hall’ (as its fondly known) is an elegant country house hotel in the heart of Lincolnshire where you’ll be well fed, well wined, and very well looked after.

Here at Washingborough Hall Country House Hotel in Lincolnshire we always have a smile waiting. Whether you join us for a weekend break in Lincoln, or choose to linger longer to explore all Lincolnshire’s best bits.

Guest Reviews Fantastic Treat

The Washingborough was a fantastic treat and completely different to the regular chain hotels. This boasts antique furnishings, interesting paintings and quirky sitting areas. We just loved our stay and every single member of staff went out of their way to make it enjoyable. Big thanks to all.

Guest Reviews Charming In Every Way

A quite splendid stay and we could not have wished for more. Friendly and efficient staff, delightful surroundings and excellent bar and dining facilities. We are sorry that we do not have an excuse to return. We loved every aspect and it is but a short drive to Lincoln City and its magnificent Cathedral.

Guest Reviews Great Hotel!

The hotel is welcoming and relaxing with helpful staff both professional and friendly. My room had a very comfortable bed and a luxurious bathroom which was squeaky clean. Lunch and dinner were outstanding; a varied seasonal menu using locally sourced produce and vegetables cooked to perfection; desserts to die for and a great selection of cheeses. Breakfast for me included home made granola, fruit salad and pastries which were delicious.Great for those of us who skip the full English although i... Read more

Guest Reviews Absolutely Super

We did a bargain break here which included 2 nights bed, breakfast and diner, as well as transport to, and a free entry into Lincoln Cathedral

Our room was absolutely super, as was the bathroom and the four poster bed.

Breakfast was excellent, as was diner each evening. Drinks were not expensive and the ambience of the hotel was lovely. The staff were very helpful. We would willingly stay again.

Guest Reviews An Oasis of Calm

Just a really great place run by management with high standard who obviously create great morale amongst their staff to deliver a first class guest experience. Stylish, upmarket, traditional with a odern twist 'Washy' as it is affectionately called ticks all the boxes. Hats off to the brigade in the kitchen as we had a fantastic meal. Fine dining is often 'anything but', however, these guys really know their stuff and place emphasis on great local produce cooked to perfection. Super comfy rooms ... Read more

Guest Reviews Five Star

I visited this fabulous hotel for my partners birthday. The staff was so welcoming and could not do enough for you. The rooms are stunning and the food was out of this world. I could not recommend a better place to stay. It should be a 5 star hotel.

Country-chic

Snug and Cosy Reception Area

Snug by name, snug by nature! Lined with floor to ceiling bookcases, this is the best spot to curl up with a good read and your favourite tipple in hand. If you can tear yourself away from the grand reception area with its roaring log fire!

BRight & beautiful

Well-groomed Gardens

Just made for picnics, croquet and after-dinner strolls, our grounds are gorgeous all year round. The pretty dovecote, mature shrubs, tall trees and lovely lawns offer a heart-warming backdrop for events.
