Petwood Hotel

For what it’s worth my wife and I have used The Petwood quite a few times over the years (last time about 12 months ago) and never had a bad stay. That said we use it for a special occasion and have always stayed in a suite- well worth the investment.

I’m a big fan of Tripadvisor but my favourite hotel in London invariably gets a pasting! If the reviews are mixed you could try The White Hart in Lincoln itself- it too has a history and the advantage of being centrally located so drink/driving isn’t an issue. It’s a while since we used it (and I haven’t checked Tripadvisor before posting) but again we’ve had some nice stays there in standard rooms. You can always call at the Petwood for afternoon tea……

I stayed there 2 years ago when i had a trip in “Just Jane”. I enjoyed the place because of it’s history, however, it’s very dated and smells musty!! The wife was not impressed.

I had a pint there a few years back in the mess. I found the staff were helpful and polite. There were several retired pilots chatting away as I looked into a glass case that housed Wing Commander Guy Gibsons logbook.

They used to do monthly “specials”, which featured a “two for one” deal, including full board.

Me & Mrs Waco really enjoyed our stay and the grounds were lovely.
I would certainly recommend it…

I would say the food was acceptable, no more, no less.

The “Major” was holding court while we were there. It was a pleaseure to say hello.

Go for it Moggy !!!! You know you can afford it !

I turned up there recently unannounced and asked to have a drink in the 617 Squadron bar. The staff seemed friendly enough and as the room was not in use at the time they allowed me in. I did have a meal there years ago and I seem to remember it was quite good. I have never actually stayed there….yet. The atmosphere of the place is worth going there for I would have thought!

BBMF, holds functions there all year round. All good. I have never had a reason to complain, one of the waitresses is OK (my daughter!).

There you go – one vote for and one vote so-so.

An alternative site to TripAdvisor!!!

I stayed there in April for the 619 Squadron Association Reunion (yes other Squadrons were based there as well!) – an excellent location and an enjoyable atmosphere. A couple of years ago I organised a 619 Squadron related event and that was based there – again excellent with all aspects of the arrangements!
