Limited parking, 1 disabled space.Seating for venue was aweful at least 5 people to my knowledge left 2 hours early, out of a 3 hour evening just because of the seating. These were supposed to be their best wedding chairs. Really over priced drinks and snacks..i wouldnt return.

Attended a wedding. Food was great. Rooms lovely and clean but let down by the chairs having padding coming through the upholstery. Staff friendly and welcoming. Lovely wedding venue.Nearby activities: Lots to see locally and close to all amenities.Walkability: Easy 5 minute walk to local shops, eateries, pub, etc.

We booked Dower house for our wedding for Sept 23.As soon as we walked in the door we were made to feel welcome. On the lead up to the wedding we had a few different meals there and each time we visited we were greeted as old friends.On the wedding day the staff were absolutely fantastic. They were very helpful (especially Max and Ethan) and nothing was too much trouble for them.One concern you always have at weddings is small food portions, however we did not need to worry about that with the Dower House portions!!! All our guests were blown away with the amount and quality of the food!If you are getting married then I strongly recommend having a look at Dower House. The food was amazing, the staff are fantastic and the location is absolutely beautiful!

I should have asked if the suite I'd booked was the same as on our last visit. The room wasn't as pleasant and a wedding party shared their vape and cigarette smoke! We needed the windows open as it was quite hot. Again I should have checked if there was a wedding event. The staff were great. All we're helpful and cheery. Breakfasts were freshly cooked and served at our table. A return visit will require a touch more planning on my part. This visit wasn't as enjoyable.

Excellent stay, hotel is set in lovely peaceful surroundings. Staff were very friendly and professional. Continental breakfast was basic, but the hot breakfast was freshly cooked and served to you. The bedroom we had was large and very comfortable with a large walk in shower. Will look forward to returning.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Dower House Hotel, recently. I genuinely had the best sleep of my life! The setting was calm, clean and luxurious. it was a complete escape from the usual fast pace of daily life and genuinely good for my well-being. The bar was totally relaxing, with the chill out music and the polite, friendly staff helping to put you at ease as soon as you arrive there. The food served was generous and delicious, including the scrumptious baguettes served as a light bite. The hotel was conveniently positioned next to the golf course, which was the target for the day. I would highly recommend this lovely hotel for anyone wanting a retreat to the countryside, some golf or for an event such as a wedding - it really is a beautiful place with lots of historical character, yet with modern conveniences.

I stayed here for a wedding on the 6th of August and was blown away by the quality of food and the quality of rooms. The rooms in the lodge were very spacious and there was a good attention to detail. The hotel is in a great location, slightly secluded but close enough to everything in the small town.However, I was disappointed with the attitude of some of the members of management staff who were quite brusque with myself and other members of the wedding party and lacked a customer service charm. Thankfully this was the minority and the young serving staff were friendly and attentive.

Stayed here 2nd & 3rd August as a base for Woodhall Spa Golf.First, location is fantastic and staff very welcoming. The hotel itself is beautiful, lovely gardens, well maintained and full of character.I stayed in the lodge which is detached from the main building. Room was a very good size, in its original style with modern touches. Very comfortable bed, awesome rain shower and very clean.But the best part of this hotel for me was the food. We had 4 absolutely fantastic meals here (2 diner, 2 breakfast). Was so impressed with the quality and standard of the food, extremely tasty.Overall a fantastic stay, thank you Dower House!

Excellent all round - we had a lovely 2 day break. Spent one day Lancaster and BoB flight spotting - returned to peace and quiet at Dower House, great food, lovely, comfy, very clean and quiet room. Best of all the staff; friendly, helpful and attentive. We both loved it. We'll be back.

A lovely hotel in a peaceful setting in the middle of Woodhall Spa. Well located for visits to Lincoln. Our room was beautiful and comfortable with loads of space and views of the garden. Staff were very attentive and helpful. It all felt very luxurious and a nice way to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We ate in the restaurant both evenings and thought the food was excellent. My only, very minor criticism, was that the Soup of the Day option didn?t change while we were there. But a very small criticism and we?ll definitely try to come back again.

We were at the hotel for 2 nights and the room and the facilities are lovely 5 out of 5 what let it down was the service. We understand that the hotel is a very lovely wedding venue and we were aware there was wedding on when we booked. The wedding did not affect our stay and it was lovely to see families gathering for the big day. My issue was around the service that we got as everything was geared up for the wedding party. At breakfast on the Friday we were told it was a buffet not what I was expecting for the price I paid. On the second day we had to wait for them to clear a table and we felt like we were an inconvenience because we weren?t with the wedding party. I would stay there again as it was a lovely hotel and venue but I might avoid it if there is a wedding on as there don?t seem to be enough staff to service all the residents.

Afternoon tea. Requested a "quiet table" and were seated very close to a table of four. Not the best of starts. As the weather was not too bad asked if we could sit outside - which we did. Credit to the only staff member we saw ( he appeared to look after the bar, food requests, the dining room and everything else!!). Whilst we knew the afternoon tea would not be "The Ritz" we thought it was under par. We were asked if we wanted a pot of tea - no choice of tea types and no coffee choice. The twinnings tea used is quite weak. Also we were asked if we wanted tap water!!! Surely a bottle of water should have been provided without asking. The sandwiches, whilst fresh, could have been elevated with salad garnish etc. Also would have been nice to have had prawn or salmon as a filling. The scones were quite dry and plain and no butter was available. As to the pot dessert, one teaspoonful and it was gone!! A larger portion would have been better. Overall whilst just ok, without much extra cost or effort, it could have been a better experience.
