Hotel description
A very warm and friendly welcome awaits you at Byards Leap Lodge and Country Kitchen (licensed). Ideally situated for the busissman, tourist, visiting friends/relatives and /or en-route holiday maker.
Our recently refurbished Four Star Silver awarded Lodge has the benefit of all rooms are ground floor, all easily accessible for the less able bodied, with one room having dedicated disabled facilities. Four rooms have full sized baths with power showers over and one with a power shower cubicle. With complimentary toiletries. Flat screen digital TVs in all rooms, broadband wirefree access, tea/coffe/hairdryers, mini stocked fridges. Our superking/king/double Slumberland sprung beds are to die for. We are just a couple of minutes by car from the RAF Cranwell College and base. The RAF Heritage centre is a good walk or few minutes by car. Also we are situated on the Viking long distance footpath, ideal for ramblers, walkers and nature lovers. Those wishing to visit our famous City, then this is just a twenty minute drive away and Lincoln has about everything the visitor could wish for! Grantham a mere 10-15 mins by car and Sleaford is just five miles on a very straight road. Newark and the A1 are close at hand(10 miles approx). Next door to the Lodge we have the 'only one of its kind' in the country the newly built Bubble Car Museum, a rare and unusual collection of those cars of yesteryear. The Lodge and our Country Kitchen go hand in hand with the famous legend of Byard's Leap, the horseshoes from Bayard still remain to this day and have attracted many visitors throughout the years. Some with their very own story to tell about the The Witch and Bayard (later shortened to Byard). The Country Kitchen is now 100yrs plus and we have tried to maintain the feel of what it was like in those bygone days.

November 24, 2011Convenient location, clean, friendly. Excellent breakfast. Early check in. Good toiletries and biscuits!
Very noisy plumbing and thin walls. Can hear every tap in next bathroom being turned on and each trip to the loo! Have been staying regularly and small repairs still not done on each visit. Eg wobbly loo roll holder and curtain tie back and tv a bit hit and miss at times.

November 23, 2011The room was very clean as was the ensuite. There was everything you could need. The breakfast was great in the cafe next door, and the staff in the cafe were really lovely.
We found the bed uncomfortable as it was small and soft but that is purely personal. The hosts were away so we did not meet them, just a chap who gave us the keys and told us places to eat etc. The accommodation appears to be purpose built as opposed to someones home, so if you were looking for a 'home from home' this is not the place, but if you are looking for somewhere to rest your head and move on - brilliant.

The only critisisum I would make is it's quite close to a busy road and at night where our room was situated you could hear the passing traffic.

October 3, 2011Down to earth, friendly, clean and making plenty of effort to please. Breakfast choice was excellent and all of high quality. I particularly enjoyed to fresh mang and pineapple and the grilled kippers.
Our 'De -Luxe room was in fact designed for disabled use and as such the large bathroom only had a tiny knee level washbasin; difficult if you are 6ft 3in tall.Maybe add a normal sized basin between door and toilet.

October 3, 2011Clean ,modern, friendly service more a small hotel than a b&b . Breakfast was second to none out of this world. Will go again as we have family near.
Is near a busy road but as the hotel is lower than road not noisy.

Stockport, United Kingdom
August 24, 2011Ibooked three rooms for my husband and I and children [ now grown up]It was so different. The location was great. The owner and staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were lovely. It had history and access to a lovely walk. The food was fresh and well presented. We had a great stay. Thank you
My son and his wife stayed in the double room. They were very happy with everything. I am Ann. My husband and I want to make a point but not a complaint. The point is to make the owner aware a problem may occur with some guests if not rectified. The noise from the road unfortunately disturbed my husbands sleep [we were in the front bedroom which housed a queen sized bed which was excellent] I must note he always opens the window at night if the window had been closed we might not have heard a sound, but he likes fresh air.

Checking out procedure was to wait in the cafe queue with all the cafe clients buying their breakfasts. This took ten minutes to get to check out and then the manageress had to be called to deal with the payment.

Beds are exceptionally comfortable with plenty of room. The fridge is really useful when in mid-journey. The bathroom is bang up to date and spotless . Management and staff were very helpful and friendly. We were very impressed with the quality of this hotel for more or less the same price as a basic motel room in aTravelodge or Premier Inn.
