Accommodations
The Old Palace Lodge has 16 rooms, including Deluxe Double Rooms and Master Suites, each with views of Lincoln Cathedral. Rooms retain traditional features like leaded glass windows and offer rain showers with luxury toiletries. The Master Green Room and Master Red Room provide additional space and are named after their distinct colour schemes.
Amenities & Services
Each room contains a mini-fridge with fresh juice, milk, and water, replenished daily, plus complimentary snacks and chocolates available through the afternoon and evening. Guests receive a continental breakfast bag with warm croissants, butter, jam, and yogurt hung on the door at a chosen time. The hotel provides secure private parking for one vehicle per room, controlled by keypad gates, and offers on-site laundry and dry-cleaning services.
Location
The Old Palace Lodge sits in the shadow of Lincoln Cathedral, a 4-minute walk from Lincoln Castle, which houses one of the four original copies of the Magna Carta. Bailgate, with its selection of restaurants and bars, is a 5-minute walk away. The property is at the top of Steep Hill, giving direct access to the historic quarter without needing to ascend the cobbled slope.
Dining
A continental breakfast is delivered to the room each morning, consisting of warm croissants, butter, jam, and yogurt at a time chosen by the guest. For a cooked breakfast, guests can book a table at a nearby café less than a 5-minute walk away, with a discount offered. In-room tea and coffee making facilities include a Nespresso machine and a selection of biscuits and chocolates.
Activities & Extras
Guests have access to on-site activities such as cycling and golfing (arranged through the hotel). The hotel provides outdoor furniture in the grounds, with views of the cathedral and the Bomber Command Memorial visible from the property. Express check-in/check-out and luggage storage are available, and the hotel offers a 24-hour security system with key access and smoke alarms.

“The Old Palace Lodge masterfully repurposes its historic church structure, offering a genuinely atmospheric stay in Lincoln's old town. Its location is undeniably its strongest suit, placing you steps from the cathedral and castle, with the added ease of secure, on-site parking. The thoughtful room service breakfast of fresh croissants and yogurt strikes a pleasant chord, complementing the comfortable and well-appointed accommodations.”
