Tollemache Arms

absolutely terrible! passing through the village with a few family members we decided to have a few drinks to break up the journey, we could hear the land lady discussing other members off staff in an unpleasant manner, the land lady was very rude and we personally didn’t feel like we had a warm welcome from her, however the other staff members were absolutely brilliant we couldn’t fault them at all. the san miguel tasted very weak and had an off taste to it. would not recommend going here for a pitstop!

Always a favourite when we're in the Vale.

The Tollemache Arms are in a beautiful setting and we had a lovely stay. The staff were attentive and the room was very comfortable and light and airy. We had dinner which was very good, and the breakfast was beautiful - no need for lunch! It is really handy for the A1 and I would recommend it.

Average at best. My steak was tough but to be fair, they replaced it without quibble for the beef bourguignon which was very tasty. It was served on it's own with a dollop of kale. This was our last visit as standards have dropped. In fairness our waitress was very attentative and regularly checked on us, so 10/10 for that.

Evening dinner and breakfast was excellent. Bar area and dining room very good. Room and bathroom very tired and needed refreshing.

Rooms very comfy and modern

Great little hotel conveniently situated about not far from the A1 about halfway between Peterborough and Grantham. Character building with peaceful and welcoming gardens to the rear, only 4 bedrooms which are clean and comfortable and a super pub/restaurant downstairs. Really friendly hostess and team with excellent meals served both morning and night - I recommend the beef fillet kebab, outstanding!

Ok, let’s start with the positives. The staff amazing, lovely people! Parking on site and good location(travelling to Scotland from London). Now the amenities, once you walk in the rooms area/stairs and corridors they are smelly, like old, mouldy place, the stairs make noises as if you were walking in an old precarious place. Furniture a little dated and soulless. The Room: dated and soulless, horrible cheap bed, pillows are thin and woke up with a sore neck. Walls are paper thin and you can hear people talking, walking in, banging doors and having shower at late hrs of the morning, also there is a constant noise from some sort of machine(boiler? Kitchen?) right below the room we were keeping us awake most of night. We found used flossing, no plastic in the bins and dusty areas. It’s such a pity as the staff is lovely, yet not an enjoyable stay and don’t recommend(until measures are taken).

I believe the owners are very new to hospitality but excellent chefs! We wish them well and hope as they gain experience it will show in the rooms. The area for sitting/working was a very dark corner restricted by the en-suite being in the wrong position but could have been arranged to be cosy corner with reading light etc. Our main complaint was the king size douvet had been pushed into a double size douvet cover. This would have been passable for a single person but get two in the bed and your backs are bare! The meal in the restaurant was very good and thoroughly enjoyed. Popular with the locals as well which is always a good sign.
