Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Finch Hatton Arms is appreciated for its spacious, clean rooms, some featuring a slipper bath, and also the ample parking available for guests. The food receives consistent praise, especially dinner and breakfast in the pub-restaurant. Some guests have noted that the stairs are steep, but overall, it's considered a great place for a stay near Lincoln and RAF Cranwell, with easy access to the A17 and Sleaford.

the staff were friendly and efficient , and the food was excellent.
the room was labelled as "beautiful" , but i'm not really sure what was beautiful about it. it seemed just like any other hotel room. this made the cost of the room quite expensive , i think it was only worth close to half what we paid.

The breakfast buffet was AMAZING!!! It included juice, cereal, fresh fruit, yoghurt, and croissants. A coffee machine offered hot and endless top-ups. The dog particularly enjoyed a Lincolnshire sausage and water.
The walls felt thin. I heard doors banging and TVs from other rooms. People's conversations were also audible. I found it overall poor and got very little sleep.
