Lincoln Hotels and Accommodation

(Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England, UK)




City view, showing the cathedral towersAlthough there are a number of large, modern hotels in the city, guest houses and B&Bs form the bulk of the lodging in Lincoln, with much of this accommodation being located in the historic Newport area, close to the cathedral. Popular choices in this part of Lincoln include both the Edwardian-style Old Rectory and the neighbouring Newport Guest House.

Lodging rates are understandably at their most expensive during the summer season, when Lincoln is at its busiest and accommodation in therefore in demand. Hotels and guest houses can raise their prices by as much as 25% at this time of the year, although those with low occupancy levels will often use tempting rates to fill their rooms, providing weekend specials.

Where to Stay

If you prefer to stay in chain hotels, then the Holiday Inn Express Lincoln may well be the one for you, although it is around a ten-minute walk from the actual city centre and some 20 minutes from the cathedral and castle.

Located on the Newark Road, in the south-westerly suburb of South Hykeham, the modern Best Western Bentley Hotel stands opposite a popular nine-hole golf course and is well placed for excursions to Newark.

On the Bailgate, off Chapel Lane and Eastgate, the upmarket White Hart Hotel provides charming boutique accommodation, with its most desirable rooms boasting superb views of both Lincoln's castle and cathedral.

Further accommodation is available in nearby Lincolnshire towns and villages, such as Norton Disney and Washingborough, where the sumptuous Georgian manor house known as the Washingborough Hall Hotel is to be found, just 5 km / 3 miles away from the city itself.
