The location was great. The establishment was very charming and well appointed. I had a delicious lunch and breakfast. In fact, the Eggs Royale was the most delicious breakfast egg dish, so please compliment the chef on my behalf. Lastly, the staff was the most attentive, which I truly appreciated.

Stamford is a beautiful Georgian market town with lots of things to do and places to visit nearby. Shopping is very enjoyable as there are plenty of independent shops as well as the usual clothing chains. The Friday open air market was excellent and there were lots of bargains to be had. The choice of restaurants and cafes was very good. We can recommend Amore for its Italian cuisine and Kancchi for Indian/ Nepalese food, but would advise that you book in advance if possible.

I love old character buildings and this certainly is a lovely old character building.
The location is good with most amenities in Stamford within a ten to fifteen minute walk.
On site parking is a bonus.
Would I stay again ? Yes, very much so, whilst there were a couple of little niggles overall I enjoyed the experience.

Easy to get around hills are gentle and manageable for those with limited walking. The Hong Kong Chinese restaurant is very good, but needs to be booked as tables go quickly. Street market on Fridays and a lots of boutique shops. The St Martins Antique centre offers a extensive range of interesting collectables.
Premium Taxis are very reasonable £3.00 from the High Street back to the William Cecil Hotel.

Stamford a picturesque market town in the south western district of Lincolnshire accommodating 17th and 18th century stone buildings creating a quaint charming characterful location amongst half-timbered Elizabethan housing and 5 medieval parish churches.
The Romans built Erasmine Street across what is now Burghley Park Estate and forded to the River Welland west of Stamford also built a town north of Great Casterton on the River Gwash. In 61 AD Boudica of the Iceni followed the Roman Legion Legio IX Hispana across the river. The Anglo-Saxon later chose Stamford as the main town and appeared in the Doomsday Book 1086 as Stanford.
As the Great North Road passed through Stamford which became a halting town for travellers, Henry VIII, Queen Elizabeth, James I and Charles I all passed through making a post station for the Postal Service during Elizabeth I reign. In 1663 an Act of Parliament passed and setup turnpikes creating a significant difference to wealth and prosperity of Stamford.
Stamford is a great location to stay being a beautiful town to explore and enjoy accommodating an abundance of pubs, cafes and restaurants with an eclectic mix of boutiques and shops to browse.
Places to visit:
15 Century William Browne Hospital and medieval Alms-house
St. Mary's Church which has a crooked spire
Burghley House, built by Queen Elizabeth I's chief advisor on 810 acres Grounds Capability Brown Landscaped the estate which is still home to the same family.
Walks - well worthwhile in the Barnack Hills and Holes National Nature Reserve equally Cycle round Rutland Water
Stamford is amazing, and this cottage was perfectly set so it was in the middle of town, but on a side quiet street. Claire supplies all these little things to make your stay better and the little things in many ways are the big things. She provided snacks, food, drinks, top quality shampoo, conditioner, skin care, anti bacterial, and even a full sized bar of soap. Very comfortable, really clean, all the modern conveniences, and wonderfully designed and decorated.
Breakfast was fabulous and now been on-line looking for Stamford coffee which was so good. had the Dinner deal of 2 mains + bottle of wine for £39.95 and it was wonderful, with a really nice bottle of wine not just a cheap one.
Charlotte deserves a special mention for her kindness and care, her hard work and attention to detail made us feel really special.
Room was good size and bed was very very comfortable, and always nice to have tea & coffee in room
Great location, walking distance to everything as really close to town center, easy access with convenient parking, very well equipped, has lovely cozy courtyard area with pretty lighting and flowers/shrubs. The property is situated approx. 100ft from the Stamford Meadows which has open grass areas, a pretty river running through it and wonderful views of Stamford
Excellent location, ideal for visiting Stamford and Burghley House, both of which are walking distance from the hotel. Really welcoming staff, special thanks to James (Operations Manager) for his friendly hospitality - most appreciated. The food was excellent (breakfast and dinner) and the outside terrace was perfect on a hot summers day. We will return.
Wells House is nicely situated in Stamford, only a few minutes walk from the High Street & about 15 mins drive to Rutlsnd Water. It's a beautiful cottage, with great character and a lovely log burner. The cosy and well equipped kitchen. There were nice little touches like flavoured teas, coffee and products in the bathroom.
The hotel was 100% but it is misleading to say it is in Stamford High Street when it is in the village of Duddington, some 5 miles away. Very naughty. In the event the excellence of the hotel and the beauty of Duddington won us over but we did not get to experience Stamford, as we had hoped.
Quaint little B&B, at the end of a cul-de-sac in a lovely town. Room was clean, cosy & comfortable. Within a short drive of dinner options in Stamford. Continental breakfast supplies were provided for self-catering. Car had its own parking space right outside front door. Later checkout.
The house is situated in a very convenient location, with its own designated parking space just minutes by car to the centre of Stamford. The kitchen was well stocked with equipment and the bathroom recently refurbished with great shower head.
Firstly, the staff were all extremely well presented, polite and professional. Max at the reception could not have been more helpful and his professional approach set the tone for our whole stay and all the other staff at this lovely hotel.
Excellent choice on the breakfast menu and very satisfactory. Very well situated in Stamford for shopping and restaurants. The room was modern but very classy and the bed was very comfortable. Plus early check in. Fantastic.
Wonderful traditional hotel in the heart of Stamford. Very comfortable and relaxing. Nice bar areas and lovely. Excellent service. We were upgraded to a larger room which was a nice touch. Great breakfast!
My first stay at the George since AC became available. I highly recommend ensuring your room has it during the summer.
The hotel was very well staffed and everyone was super polite and helpful.
We absolutely loved the place. Great option for a family , we had everything we needed and it is a walking distance to everywhere ! Fantastic alternative for expensive hotels in Stamford !
