The William Cecil offers a fabulous stay within Stamford right on the edge of the Burleigh estate. The hotel itself is a very old building that has been transformed into a comfortable stay location for guests and events alike. The staff could not be more accommodating to the needs of their guests, to the extent where the manager lent my wife his own personal umbrella to head into town during a rain shower. Overall an excellent stay and we would definitely return again should we visit Stamford onceoree in the future

Unfortunately, we were situated in an area of the hotel that was being renovated. The room was very small with uneven floors. The fan provided was broken and there wasn't enough plugs to run the fridge, fan and coffee. The service provided was good. the food served was delicious. For the price we paid I felt it was very over priced for the quality of the room. I have stayed in mecures and Premier Inns for a lot less and the quality of rooms were better.

Great little stay
Overnight stay in Stamford. We were slightly apprehensive due to some of the reviews but our experience was really good. The staff were all very friendly and attentive. Our room was lovely with a huge bed and a deep free standing bath. Breakfast was great…… what’s not to like? We will definitely stay here again👍👍

A nice weekend break. Service was excellent and we enjoyed the breakfast. The only negative was the room - a bit too small, particularly the bathroom. Otherwise a decent hotel.

Slightly disappointed
Was slightly disappointed with the comfort this stay. Issues with bedstead corners in small space (caught legs several times). Had to ask staff to turn off overheated towel rail in bathroom (it wasn't apparent). Ropey taps and large shower head didn't make showering easy. Needed the fan (it was very warm) which was efficient, but very noisy. Road noise more bothersome this visit.

Lovely historic hotel.
Lovely historic hotel which still has some of the original features. Room was a good size, but needed a repaint. At back of hotel with no view out of the window. Disappointing for £161 per night. Excellent quality bath towels. One or two if the staff needed a bit more training. Very rushed and not particularly interested in you as a guest.
