The Rest in Lincoln

SUCH friendly staff!! Lovely atmosphere and definitely the best avocado on toast I’ve ever had. So fresh and a lovely combination of sweet cherry tomatoes and feta on top! Yum!!Coffee was great too!!

Wow! What can we say about The Rest and the wonderful hostess Stephanie? I booked two studio apartments for my daughter’s graduation. Stephanie could not have been more helpful, providing us with a convenient check in and check out time which accommodated our arrival and departure. Being halfway up Steep Hill, it’s an excellent location for graduations or other events at the cathedral. The apartments were spotlessly clean, extremely comfortable and quiet, guaranteeing us a good night’s sleep. The extra touches were incredible and could rival any hotel. Complimentary toiletries, beverages, fresh milk and cookies were included. For a small fee Stephanie provided a generous continental breakfast which was delicious. The outside area of the apartments was clean and well looked after, giving a wonderful photo backdrop, with tables and chairs on the balcony area. We had a wonderful stay and I could not recommend it any more highly. We will definitely return. Thank you so much Stephanie.

A really lovely hotel in the centre of Lincoln, the room was exceptional with a few extras like snacks & other bits… a really nice touch! It was very clean with a large stunning bathroom. Steph was so friendly and relaxed with check in/check out, she couldn’t have done more for you and was only an email away if we needed anything. Couldn’t recommend more, we will be back!

An amazing hotel with a great location in the centre of Lincoln. The room was lovely and very clean, with the added bonus of a balcony that looks out onto steep hill. Steph was so friendly and the relaxed check in/check out times meant we could make the most of our weekend away. Would highly recommend staying at The Rest, we will definitely be back!

Fantastic staff, great breakfast, comfortable and well equipped room. All set in a historic building with lots of character, beautifully refurbished and maintained. Perfectly located in the historic centre of Lincoln. Easy parking just round the corner with a day pass included as an option when booking. Altogether a lovely little hotel. Highly recommended!

Beautiful little hotel with stunning well equipped rooms and well situated in Lincoln. Everywhere was spotless clean and tidy. It is at the top of steep hill and dropping of bags before taking car to car park down the road is a bit difficult as know where to stop. Only negative was breakfast was not great both mornings. Had a full English breakfast and everything was over cooked. Did explain to young lady when she asked how breakfast was and she apologised but didn't seem overly concerned. Will definitely return but probably not include breakfast. Shame really because other than that it was the perfect get away.

Second stay at this hotel and it was just as good as the first time. All of the staff are amazing and can not look after you any better. We would stay here every time we come to Lincoln without a doubt. Ideal position smack bang in the middle of steep hill with all of the shops and bars at the bottom and the boutique shops up the hill. Thank you to all staff.

The Rest exceeded our expectations! A lovely garden room, quality amenities and friendly staff. The bathroom was very spa-like. Breakfast was fresh and huge! We would have stayed an extra day if we didn't already have rooms booked in York!

We had the upstairs room with balcony which backs on to the cathedral. It is clean modern and perfectly located for a tourist visit to Lincoln. Very peaceful apart from tuneful birdsong at dawn. Loses a star as breakfast coffee average. Would recommend.

An amazing room, The Swallows is perfect. So quiet and a lovely breakfast. A short uphill walk to The Castle and Cathedral which were both historical and interesting. Steep Hill really is! A big tip Natalia is friendly and knowledgeable. Yes we would return and yes we would highly recommend here. Can't wait to return.
