Looks a little tired on the outside, but is actually very good inside. Nicely decorated, clean and tidy. Reception was friendly and helpful. The room was a reasonable size with plenty of space for clothes. Also handy were the ironing facilities and hair dryer along with facility for hot refreshments Good sized bath, but toilet space a bit cramped. Very clean and tidy with a large comfy bed. The breakfast was good value and very similar to other English hotels of this standard. One complaint, WiFi in the room was only accessible in the bathroom area and near the room door. Almost impossible to get a signal in any other part of the room. Even so, would still be happy to recommend this hotel for a short break.

Gainsborough House Hotel were extremely accommodating last minute with our wedding guests. Danny and his team were incredibly helpful and supportive in giving us a quote for our guests. As well as providing us with competitive prices for all our guests, they created a range of rooms ranging from single occupancy to family rooms and triples. The rooms were clean and tidy but could have done with a little modernisation. The breakfast was of a good standard with a nice selection of hot food and plenty of cups of tea and coffee. The staff also looked after lost property after the event when one of our guests forgot something. Thank you for everything Gainsborough!

2 night stay here for work and I happened upon The Gainsborough House Hotel at the last minute. The hotel is spotlessly clean and the staff could not do enough for me. I was welcomed with a free glass of wine, which was just what I needed after a long journey and the lounge/bar area was warm and cosy. My room was large and again, spotless. The bed and pillows were really comfortable and the room had some useful extras, such as hairdryer, full length mirror, iron and ironing board - oh and a bath! Great free wifi and large TV, coffee/tea and biscuits. Travelling for work a lot, I often find mediocre hotels and am happy to leave, however, The Gainsborough was just brilliant in every way, including a wide range of breakfast foods on offer. I would highly recommend and will certainly use this hotel again. The main shout out is for the staff. Everyone was so helpful and friendly - I haven't had such a warm welcome in a while!

Stayed here on business and loved it. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, the towels were delightfully fluffy. The staff were also super friendly and provided an excellent level of service! I'm the girl who got mistaken for a member of staff because I was wearing a black T-shirt near reception. The staff were very polite and quick in correcting the customer.

We go to the Gainsborough Hotel on a Thursday evening for Slimming World. Our room is light, airy and spacious. Very clean and comfortable. We pass the dining room en route to our room and the food smells amazing . We have plans to have a meal once restrictions are lifted. There is loads of parking and the place is beautiful to look at. We really like it there
