Haven't stayed here for a while, OK room but view not great and in need of updates. Socks found in room and a hole in towel. Coffee machine, with only a few pods, no instant alternative, tea bags. fresh milk and nice cookies a nice touch. Interesting breakfast menu.

The staff were polite, helpful and friendly. The hotel was immaculately presente clean and comfortable. The room was well furnished and also comfortable if not a little small as we were there for only one night it wasn’t an issue.

Weekend in Stamford
A nice weekend break. Service was excellent and we enjoyed the breakfast. The only negative was the room - a bit too small, particularly the bathroom. Otherwise a decent hotel.

Great little stay
Overnight stay in Stamford. We were slightly apprehensive due to some of the reviews but our experience was really good. The staff were all very friendly and attentive. Our room was lovely with a huge bed and a deep free standing bath. Breakfast was great…… what’s not to like? We will definitely stay here again👍👍

The William Cecil offers a fabulous stay within Stamford right on the edge of the Burleigh estate. The hotel itself is a very old building that has been transformed into a comfortable stay location for guests and events alike. The staff could not be more accommodating to the needs of their guests, to the extent where the manager lent my wife his own personal umbrella to head into town during a rain shower. Overall an excellent stay and we would definitely return again should we visit Stamford onceoree in the future
