About this place White Hart Hotel

The White Hart Hotel is a mainstream, gay-friendly hotel on Bailgate in Lincoln's historic uphill quarter. It is not a gay venue. It is an old coaching inn, set between Lincoln Cathedral and Lincoln Castle, both a minute or two away on foot. It rates 4.2 on Google from about 1,000 reviews. The Bail is the medieval centre of Lincoln, full of independent pubs and restaurants. Shops and the station are at the bottom of Steep Hill, a short walk down but a hard climb back. Parking near Bailgate is limited, so ask the hotel before you arrive by car. Lincoln has a very small gay scene, but the town is relaxed.

I come here with 2 freinds on a Saturday fir a few drinks. The bar staff where great. One of my friends had 2 or 3 too many drinks before this bar. The staff here made him zero alcohol drinks (upon our request) so he still felt good. It did actually sober him up. Brilliant. Drinks prices are ok, staff where fantastic. Its in a great location, really clean and tidy. Definitely recommend.

The White Hart is perfectly located right next to the cathedral, castle and Steep Hill. The hotel is unique and charming. The restaurant is delicious. The staff were, to a person, friendly and helpful. It's laid back and special and fun all at the same time. I highly recommend it

Fantastic service from James on reception. The room was fabulous, with a view of the Cathedral. Location excellent. Breakfast very good. Tasting menu at the Antlers restaurant was fabulous. I've not given 5 stars because there was a wedding on which was very loud until midnight or so. Otherwise it would be 5 stars.

Great hotel in a great location. Minor issue with the room - whilst a great room, the fact it was in the top floor during a heatwave made it difficult to remain in the room / sleep. Otherwise an amazing hotel with top service, amenities and very friendly staff. The history associated with the place was yet another bonus.

We just stayed at the hotel and from start to finish had a fantastic time. Our room and bathroom were really comfortable and beautifully presented. The staff were friendly and really helpful. The hotel has a great traditional but classy feel. The location is perfect for exploring the centre of Lincoln and parking was fine in the hotel car park. We have another visit booked. A really great all round experience.

Fabulous hotel with excellent facilities with friendly helpful staff. Nothing was too much trouble including arranging food after hours because we’d missed last orders and this was truly appreciated . Thank you so much. We will definitely return and highly recommend this hotel 😍😊

Great location right in the middle of historical Lincoln. Blocks from the cathedral and castle. The rooms were clean but small as expected from a converted medieval building. They are not air-conditioned also expected which is normally not an issue, we just happened to book a night with record breaking heat. The windows did not open all the way and the fan provided didn't move much air so sleep was pretty miserable. There is a lift which is a definite plus, however it was not a normal elevator it was one used for wheelchairs and you had to hold the button the entire trip.
