What guests think

Guests describe The Red House as a friendly, good value stay in a characterful older townhouse, with generally clean, comfortable rooms and a convenient, mostly quiet location within walking distance of Grantham centre and the hospital.

Hosts are widely praised for warm welcomes, helpfulness, and smooth check in. Rooms vary across the main house and annex, with period character; some feel dated and space can be tight or bathrooms small, and a few noted temperature issues. Parking is limited but nearby street spaces are commonly used, and breakfast is usually enjoyed as an optional extra, though one review said it was unavailable one morning. Expect a simple, budget friendly stay with personable service in a historic building.

So different to the characterless of Travelodge or Premier inn! Large double room, spacious bathroom. Lovely quiet patio. Attentive host. Free parking just outside the front door. Short walking distance to everything: museum, river, park,town centre, antique emporium, yarn shop, restaurants, pubs, coffee shops.

Check-in was a breeze. The receptionist knew my name before looking at any paperwork. She was very kind and hospitable. Our room was better than expected. It included three rooms: the bedroom, a hallway, and a bathroom. It was clean and comfortable. The added price of the breakfast was affordable and breakfast was served very fresh and very hot. I definitely recommend it. One thing to note: parking is very limited and you will likely park along a road close by.

Very friendly and welcoming. Clean and tidy bedroom with original features. Large ensuite, everything you need. Plenty of car parking near by. Easy walk into town centre. An ideal place for a stopover.

Hotel is vfm, a short walk from the town centre. Bedrooms are in main building or an annex on the side street with parking in front of the hotel or a 4 car bay at the side. Rooms are big enough but a bit dated, could use a bit of tlc and repaint. Furniture is a collection of random pieces. Was quiet enough even on the main road and bed was comfortable so served it's purpose and would stay again.

I stayed for one night as I was attending a function nearby so only needed a place to sleep for the evening. The room I was in was super warm and cosy and had everything I needed. I had a private bathroom across the landing which was decent enough. The bed was comfy. The host is simply lovely, such a welcoming lady. For the price I was very happy.

We all had a lovely stay at The Red house. We booked 3 x rooms altogether. We will be staying in Grantham quite regularly due to family now living here and will definitely stay here again. The rooms were very clean and the beds were comfortable The lady who checked us in was really nice and helpful.

The Red House is a delightful old, large three story town house in a more up-market part of Grantham, if there is such a thing. Large room with high ceilings and original features - not to everyone's taste but perfect for me. Very quiet and peaceful but easy walk to the town center. As a renovated old building the facilities are, naturally, not like a modern hotel. but everything worked fine and the host was charming. Will definitely stay again on my frequent visits to Grantham especially as it is much cheaper than the Premier Inn weekdays.

Generally very good and well-kept. The proprietor was welcoming, friendly and helpful. The beds were comfortable but had to squeeze through between the end of the bed and mantlepiece because of lack of space. Bathroom large and well-appointed. There was no-one to make breakfast there on the first morning. Car parking available nearby.

The Red House was a great find after our bnb fell through. The hostess/cleaner/cook was extremely friendly and made us right at home. They have a great breakfast included or a deluxe breakfast you can pay for extra for. The building is old and spaces tight, but it was clean and budget friendly.

We enjoyed a one night stay in the Red House. It was very pleasant with tea, coffee, water, and biscuits available on arrival. The hostess was welcoming and had time for her guests. Breakfast was an optional extra, which I liked. We only paid £57 for our stay, considering its proximity to the centre of town.
