We had a lovely stay at the William Cecil, with children and grandparents in three double rooms. The staff were delightful and couldn’t have been more accommodating. They arranged a ground floor room for grandad and two twins, as requested. We ate breakfast and dinner at the hotel and the quality of the food was very good.
The rooms were lovely. Quite compact but very nice, comfortable beds, nice toiletries and a coffee machine, which was super.

Wonderful
I love this place. I was surprised that a tap in the bath was leaky, and therefore running all the time. Otherwise flawless, friendly and really lovely

Lovely old hotel
Very friendly staff throughout our stay. Large room, very comfortable and nice to have a large fan keeping us cool at night. Only issue was the lack of power sockets in this day and age when tech is king, but we managed.
Ate at Milly's on the first evening and breakfast on both days, all very nice.
Would recommend, especially as Burghley House Estate is literally at the back of the hotel and Stamford itself is a lovely town.

This hotel has alot of character and history
This is a lovely hotel in a very old building which backs onto The Burghley House Estate. It has a big free car park and outside terrace. It has a lovely restaurant Milly's, where we had a fabulous evening meal which was competitively priced and a good breakfast with lots of choice.The staff were friendly and helpful. It was very hot when we stayed and our bedroom was an oven. There was a very large fan in our room but it was too noisy to sleep with. Our bedroom window was screwed shut, fortunately the bathroom window did open. We appreciate the difficuties posed by an old building but hope something can be done to enable some more ventilation in the bedroom. Stamford itself is well worth a visit. We shall be back

Just a one night stay…the hotel is an old property, full of quirks and charm but having said that…a little tired in some areas of decor. We had room number 10, although double glazed, traffic noise was very evident! and as I said could do with a re-vamp .
The breakfast was excellent, lovely choices, could not fault it and service was great!
We would stay again when visiting the area but only if guaranteed a room at other side of the building .

We had a lovely stay , the public areas were beautiful, however our room was disappointing as the only window was up high on the wall , which made ventilation an issue so it was extremely warm , and the room was in need of decoration . Having said that , I would definitely make a return visit as staff , food and the public areas were really lovely!

Family get together
We had an excellent overnight stay at the William Cecil as a group of 8. The staff were efficient and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Our meal in the restaurant in the evening was delicious as was breakfast. There was plenty to choose from. Our bed was very comfortable and despite the noise from the busy road, we had a good night's sleep. The hotel is beautiful and in an excellent location. I would highly recommend this hotel.
