The hotel is located in the charming old market town of Horncastle, offering a lovely historic atmosphere. The rooms are equipped with modern central heating and come with tea, coffee, and biscuits. The service was personalized and attentive, making my stay truly enjoyable. The dining experience featured locally sourced ingredients and generous portions. However, the noise from the pub disrupted my sleep, affecting the overall tranquility. The hotel's central location in the market place provided easy access to nearby attractions.
