Cleatham Hall

We were the only two guests on the evening at this beautiful country house. The owner came outside to greet me as I arrived and couldn’t have been more welcoming. The place has genuine character and felt homely - often a word used to describe somewhere ‘tired’, but this is not the case, it was genuinely just so comfortable. Nothing was too much trouble and we felt like we were some sort of Downton Abbey with a private chef along with butler, barman, and just genuinely nice people. Dinner was very good and not rushed considering the chef was only there for us, and after dinner we suggested that the owners could just leave us in the lounge and retire themselves for the evening which they happily did leaving us to ‘turn the lights out’………….. just so ‘comfortable’. I would definitely recommend this place as the rooms are spacious, the food is great, and the service is friendly yet professional. We intend to return (we were there for work ‘away day’ discussions), but fear if there are other guests it won’t be the same :-)

Lovely hotel We stayed at Cleatham Hall for one night and ate in the restaurant. The hotel is elegant, comfortable and spotlessly clean. It has an old fasioned feel but things that matter such as the lovely shower and great Wifi are up to date. Food in the restaurant had to be ordered in advance but was delicious I left very relaxed and will definitely return. This is how a small, family owned hotel should be run.

Do not hesitate to book Do not hesitate to book. Spotlessly clean a huge comfortable bed, huge modern bathroom and very quite. The hosts can not do enough for you, a home from home in a gorgeous building, I stay in alot of hotels all over the country and this is one of the best.

Delightful country hotel We enjoyed a comfortable stay in a beautiful room with view across the countryside. Our hosts were friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed delicious food which is sourced locally where possible. The chef makes flavourful preserves and chutneys, some of which are served with meals. They are also available to purchase to take home - which we did.

One night stay We had a great one night stay in the Gainsborough suite. The hotel was clean and the room was magnificent. The owners made us feel at home. The evening meal was delicious and plentiful. Breakfast was local produce.

Nestled in a secluded and luxurious corner of Lincolnshire lies Cleatham Hall, a place I had never heard of before my stay but will now never forget. Arriving late in the evening, I was warmly welcomed by Jim, whose gracious hospitality immediately made me feel at ease. He kindly offered food and drinks, though I had already catered for myself, before escorting me to my charming room, separate from the main building. The converted barn, with its exposed beams and compact yet comfortable design, exuded a calming charm that set the tone for a restful night. After one of the best night’s sleeps I’ve had in recent memory, I awoke to the distant sound of pheasants and the realization of the stunning surroundings visible from my window—a serene view that must be even more breath taking in the summer months. I’d scheduled breakfast for 9 a.m., but arriving early, I was greeted by a polite and attentive staff member who led me to the elegant dining area. In the light of day, Cleatham Hall revealed its true beauty—a perfect blend of historic grandeur and modern elegance. The full breakfast was exquisite, made even more enjoyable by the soothing sounds of Etta James in the background. Additionally, I’d faced an unexpected issue on arrival due to an issue with my organisation’s booking system, however Jim handled the situation with professionalism and efficiency, contributing to resolving the payment problem seamlessly the following morning. Also, a special thanks to Kate for her warm and attentive hospitality the following morning as we discussed various theories of life. The combination of a fantastic location, outstanding service, and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere made my experience truly memorable. Yet again Thank you, Jim and Kate, for such a wonderful stay
