Lovely bed and pillows, but poor small dated bathroom with unclean shower seal and no storage space. Coffee machine dirty in room. Fridge/table unit on sloping floor (understandable due to nature of old building) but everything rolled out. Breakfast staff not very attentive. Very overpriced, feel we spent too much for 1 night.

Just returned for a 3 night break at The William Cecil. It is a charming, old hotel ideally situated for a walk into Stamford or as a base to explore the region. It is clean and well maintained with plenty of parking. All the staff we encountered during our stay were welcoming, friendly and very helpful. We had a small, "Cosy" room which, again, was clean with a large, comfortable bed. The only downside was the absence of storage for clothes which meant we were living out of a suitcase. The was no wardrobe or drawers and the only cupboard was taken by the tea and coffee making facilities and a fridge. Four hangers on two coat hooks fixed to the door to the room is inadequate for a four star hotel. Breakfast was excellent. Freshly cooked food served by cheerful staff was a definite plus. All in all a good break and would definitely stay again although would probably opt for a larger room

What an amazing hotel! We were running late due to traffic. They held a table open for us even though the restaurant was closing! We were checked in before we arrived and the key handed to us at the dining table! Evening meal and breakfast were both delicious.

A lovely venue with good quality food, Given the room rate it would be good if the bedrooms had a little more home comforts like bath robes and a biscuit or something to accompany the coffee in the rooms.
