I had high expectations for our celebratory meal booked for Tuesday, but unfortunately, I was very mistaken. We arrived via taxi to a lobby with minimal signage, only a Stokes Coffee swing sign and a small sign declaring "Old Palace" outside. After making our way inside, we were directed to a lounge area and told someone would be with us shortly. However, the lounge was not as inviting as it could have been, as there were remnants of someone's afternoon tea still on the table. Eventually, a waiter arrived to take our drink order. We requested a kir, but the waiter seemed confused, so we settled for a glass of dry white wine. I noticed that there were two white wines offered by the glass, but...
The location and beautiful building are great and the car park is a work in progress but having parking right outside in the Bailgate area is a definite bonus. Go up hill for some nice relaxing pubs and restaurants or downhill for more of the same but busier and louder. The breakfast provided is varied with the full English using noticeably quality ingredients and just the right amount. We only found our disappointment with the room. If you want one of the rooms with the stained glass windows or a view, make sure when you book that your allocated one. The room we were in had a very small window which looked out onto the gulley between two pitch roofs so our view was roof tiles. We were also...
We stayed one night on a recent visit to Lincoln and was so impressed with this B&B! Its perfectly located on Steep Hill but with a private gated car park and set back from the main strip so wonderfully quiet. It is a beautiful building with some amazing original features such as the stained glass and vaulted windows yet the rooms have all the mod cons. I have seen comments about it being cold but if anything we found the rooms to be toasty warm and actually had to open the windows this was in windy March! Breakfast was also amazing, lots of choice and the cooked breakfast was delicious. Above all the staff were so lovely and could not be more welcoming. We loved our visit and would def stay...
Really enjoyed my stay in Lincolnshire, and The Old Palace really complimented it. Lovely vibe and a minutes walk away from the town and Cathedral. Gotta love that Steep hill. Our room was very peaceful and had an amazing view. And compliments to the friendly and helpful staff for making our weekend getaway that much more welcoming. Definitely recommended. Hopefully will return to Lincoln again in the near future, and would love to stay in The Old Palace again.

We attended The Faulty Towers we evening as a celebration for my husbands birthday. It was excellent and exceeded all our expectations. I did wonder whether the food would suffer with all that was going on but it was top notch, hot, well served and of excellent quality. We are still laughing and talking about the fun and highly entertaining evening that we had. Well done to all involved for making it such a memorable evening.
The food at this restaurant is excellent, but the décor and atmosphere of the room were lackluster. My wife had a fantastic view overlooking Lincoln, while I had to settle for unimpressive paneling. The staff were attentive, and the food was very good and reasonably priced. I just wish the dining room had a more polished and luxurious feel.
The dinning room is very plain and needs making brighter some flowers or plants and may be decorating. There needs to be a bar where you can have a drink before your meal. It is difficult to find so needs some signs at the moment the only signs say Bishops Palace and they are small and old.
The food and service at this restaurant were nearly excellent, just falling short of reaching perfection. The atmosphere was a bit too formal and quiet for my taste. I would recommend adding some subtle background music to enhance the dining experience.
