The rooms are in need of TLC. Our room was so hot no way of turning the heating down and couldn’t open the window due to a lot of road/traffic noise.
The staff were all very friendly and helpful

Ample parking, lovely looking hotel. Our room was a bit on the small side,the area to access the sink was incredibly tight. My husband had to be at an angle making shaving impossible.
Thankfully it was fine for one night but anymore could have been problematic.

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.

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

Dinner was excellent. The hotel from the outside was lovely and a very nice walk to Burghley house. Also easy to walk into Stamford.
Unfortunately we had booked a classic double room. I was told that our room was classed as cosy.
It was indeed and not in a nice way. There was no wardrobe. The bed faced the window and being on the ground floor afforded no privacy from bypassers on the street.
You could not leave the curtains open because of lack of privacy.
Also the closed room curtain got in the way of the tea and coffee facilities. All in all the worst hotel room we have stayed in for a very long time.

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!

We really enjoyed our stay . The hotel has a lovely feel and has very attentive and friendly staff . On arrival Rachel really looked after us giving us a most delightful room which enhanced our stay further.
We ate in the restaurant for both dinner and breakfast and the food and service were brilliant.

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.

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 .
