Tucked away some way…read moredown a country lane, it's a true country house with dogs, cats and horses (which are all normally kept away from the guests, unless you ask otherwise!). The house is a double cottage which houses the guestmaster couple on one side, and the guests are on the other. This means guests have their own lounge and dining room. The gardens are also beautifully kept, including a pond. It's within 10 minutes' drive of Lincoln (5 minutes to the Showground), and for those who like walking there are footpaths all around. We loved our stay and felt very welcome at Honeyholes. One more thing I will say the decor is very vintage, dark wallpaper in some rooms, flowers everywhere (even on the loo roll!); it oozes character, but you have to like that sort of thing.

This has definitely been my best culinary experience during my entire stay in Lincoln…read more.. "The Old Bakery" caught my eye on my first day when I was casually strolling through Lincoln; I was determined to give it a try - not only because of all the dining award stickers on the outside, but also, by the rustic and quaint interior. No sooner thought than done, myself and a couple of friends came here for dinner and let me tell you about our epicurean journey: Two of us had the "Peter Lundgren", which is a slowly roasted deboned pork 'chop'... it was embedded on a cushion of cinnamon-spiced cabbage and served along with tasty young potatoes. The meat was delicious and it was so soft that it fell apart in my mouth...and it was where a hint of fennel seeds unfolded its magic. For dessert, I had the pistacchio creme brulee, which also was fantastic - I felt like I was eating rich pistacchio gelato in an Italian town, only that it was covered with a crust of delicious caramelized sugar. On top of these two fabulous dishes, we also indulged in a series of freebies: home-made bread, amuse bouches, pre-dessert amuse bouches and even a post-dessert chocolate treat served along with the bill! However, I also do have to agree with the previous writer - Phil C. - that there is quite a gap between the quality of the food and the quality of the service. In fact, I was really quite disappointed by the service as it was in such stark contrast with the food: how can the food be so delicious, but the people serving it so non-compassionate and un-enthusiastic about their food? I don't expect an expert-waiter to tell me everything about the food, but I would appreciate someone who is in tune with the guests and can attend to their wishes... Anyway, I still recommend you come here...in fact, I would propose to make a visit during lunch time as they have some nice specials that are much more reasonably priced. Having said that, the food here is not cheap...but I was more than willing to pay the extra price, especially after all the other average and mediocre experiences over the past few days: in other words, I have truly enjoyed my visit to "The Old Bakery".

Truly I hardly know where to begin with this place. Let's just start by saying this is possibly the finest dining experience I have ever had and I have had some amazing fine dining experiences all over the world. It is truly special, from the moment you walk in the door you are made to feel like you are the only diner. The service is impeccable, the waiters are so knowledgeable and clearly very thoroughly trained. This is by far more superior than any eatery in the UK I have visited. We were booked on the nine course tasting menu, with a free gorgeous room thrown in per couple, and seriously you will want to stay over. The food was to die for and included beautifully presented Oysters and foie gras which of themselves gives you an idea of the standard you can expect here. Each course came with a preselected wine flight which was great to force you into stepping into another world of wines you might not ordinarily try. We were told that the video cameras in the dining room angle directly over the tables is, rather than keeping a big brother eye over your behaviour, so that the chef can get the timing of the courses appropriately just perfect. And so they were. After dinner we had tea and coffee and then sipped Champagne by the fire until the very small hours of the morning. The only tiny issue I really have to force myself to look for is being off the beaten path but then they've got that covered with their cosy opulent rooms and walking maps of a truly beautiful part of the world. It felt like a holiday not just a Friday night out so why wouldn't you indulge? This place needs a ten star rating option, I literally felt like a princess! Congratulations Winteringham Fields, I think I've fallen a little bit in love with you...

Recently televised on Gordon Ramsey's best restaurants it certainly deserves a visit. It is without doubt a place to visit for that special occasion, we had the taster menu which allows the chef to select all your courses, and you won't be disappointed in his selections. The food is locally sourced and seasonal and as such you will be offered one of the most memorable evenings for a long time to come. You need book here but if you want spoiling at a price, make it one of your 40 things to before you die.

What a disappointment. After spending 75 GBP per person for Christmas lunch, I was absolutely…read moreappalled at the food. It was obvious that the food had been sitting around and warmed up right before serving. The parma ham wrapped cod was so dry and cold that it was inedible. The cauliflower soup was so heavy that two spoons of it was more than enough. I couldn't even figure out what the side dish was but there was so much dill in it that I couldn't eat it. The roasted vegetables were good and so was the dessert. However, my daughter's chocolate tart was awful. I won't be spending another Christmas at this place...that is for sure! Oh, and trying to get out of the parking area was a joke. It took me twice going in and out of the hotel to let them know we were having problems before the idiot of a woman told me she could manually open it. Why the heck didn't she do that in the first place when she saw I had 3 very elderly people with me?

Lincoln Cathedral is a lovely building in Lincoln which can be seen for many miles around it…read more It is a lovely bit of history with many tales behind it. It is located in the bailgate area of Lincoln and cant be missed as it makes the Castle look a dot! The Cathedral has had bad luck in its history, as in 1141 (possibly earlier) it was hit by a fire. Alexander The Magnificent partially rebuilt it, then in 1185 an earthquake then damaged the Cathedral and St Hugh began reconstructing the damage in 1192 where he used gothic style features on the Cathedral, unfortunatly he died before it was finished. Mistakes occured when it was being turned into a gothic style church and the central tower collapsed around 1237 which caused some set backs with the building, they began building a new tower in 1255. All 3 towers had spires on top, but then one of them blew down then the rest were removed. The Cathedral is often having restoration work on it, to try keep it to its former glory so many people can still come and visit. If in Lincoln this is the very place to come and visit along with Lincoln Castle, it holds much information and some amazing things to view inside.

Generally I found it good value for money, not cheap, but with a nice comfy four poster bed (which Ninja found very comfy - see photo), tea and coffee on hand, and its own parking it was not bad. Unfortunately it lost half a star for not having the heating on before we arrived (it was brass monkey weather) and another half for not getting into the corners and behind the fittings with the hoover (something I've noticed happening more and more in Britain) people do look you know! It was great fun to watch the chickens and the big fat turkey strut his stuff in the garden (he survived Xmas I hope he had the same luck with New Year). The breakfast was very generous. Thick cut bacon with delicious butcher style sausages and not a baked bean in sight. The only downside was the ever changing bread, from a bakery style loaf (yummy) to a Warburtons sliced (yucky), it was never the same from day to day.

As I reviewed the whole village of Woodhall Spa without this place it has to have it's own…read more The food, beer and accomodation here is excellent. The building magnificent. This was home to Guy Gibson and the Dambuster officers in WWII.Petwood was requisitioned by the RAF during WWII. In the latter stages of the War it was used as the Officers Mess for the famous Dambusters, 617 Squadron, who were then based at nearby RAF Woodhall Spa. (Now a few huts but open to the public and worth a look if you are interested and The Blue Bell Inn, an ancient roadside inn at Tattershall Thorpe, in addition to serving excellent ales and food, has Dambuster connections. On the ceiling can be found signatures of members of 617 Squadron.) In the grounds can be found a dummy practice bouncing bomb, as was used in the Dambusters raid. Inside the hotel, the Squadron Bar is dedicated to 617 Squadron and has memorabilia from the period. Over the bar can be found the branch of a tree. This was found impaled in the fuselage of a Lancaster. The memorial is nearby. Ok this is where you laugh at me. I was doing a craft fair here. At dusk I slipped outside and sat on an old table to have a cigarette. There was a long, high edge by me and a gap then more edge. Across from where I sat a man came. he had grey trousers on and a white shirt with rolled up sleeves and walking at his side a black dog. He smiles, winked and waved at me. I waved and smiled back. he went behind the edge but never passed the gap. I ran to the gap..no-one there. I went inside and told the barman and he said You have seen Guy Gibson. Most of the female staff have..he likes the ladies. I am adding to this for my guide to ghosts in Lincolnshire: A few years ago I was invited, by the RAF, to take my stall to the anniversary of the Dambusters Raids at the Dam in Derbyshire where they used to practice. Many old Lancaster pilots were there and chatted to me about their time in Lincs. One related a spooky story to me though not ghosts of the past.. He said the plane was shot up very badly..he was a gunner and only he and the pilot were still alive. He went to stand behind the pilot as they were lost. Instruments had gone. They saw a river below and rights on the right and realised with relief it was the Humber and the lights were Hull..almost home. Suddenly he saw a huge concrete structure dead ahead and they were about to hit it. He yelled a warning and covered his eyes. They had come through all this and were still going to die. Nothing happened. He opened his eyes and asked the pilot how he had missed it. The pilot had seen nothing. When they built the Humber Bridge, decades later, he realised that was what he had seen that night. The future! Guy Gibsons dog: At Raf Woodhall Spa itelf: A photograph of a group of airmen revealed a black dog standing at the end of the line up that was not spotted at the time by neither the photographer nor any of the pilots. It was later suggested it was 'Nigger', Guy Gibson's pet dog that had been run over a few months before. During the 1980s, a team of engineers working at night spotted a pilot in 'old flying gear' walking along a corridor. One of the team went to investigate, only to find that the pilot had disappeared. And finally: IN DAMBUSTERS FILM Sharp-eyed viewers may spot the ghost of Nigger running through the trees at the end of the film (where Gibson is talking to Wallis at Scampton) - no dog was known to be on the base when the film was made, so the identity of the animal seen on film remains a mystery.

Sidetracked again sorry...OK the food was very tasty and the portions were just right. For breakfast you can stick with cereal, juice/coffee, fruits, pastries or you can also order eggs "your way."
