The Hotel is located in lovely settings, open grounds and ideally situated for East Kirkby Aircraft Museum. The Hotel, which was requisitioned for Bomber Command during WW2, holds plenty of memorabilia to those who served in Bomber Comnand, including 617 Squadron, The Dambusters. The Hotel has ample parking space. The rooms very comfortable, and staff very helpful and friendly . There are numerous photos around the Hotel remembering those that served. Nearby at the junction of Station Road and Tattershall Road, Woodhall Spa, is a moving memorial to 617 Squadron, The Dambusters.

Everything was fine, nothing needs to change

There is not one thing that I could write about as everything about our stay was excellent from the time we got there until checking out, we ate in the bar area and the food tasted amazing, bed was comfortable and room a good size.

Breakfast was a bit hit and miss, not enough staff were on Saturday morning and as the breakfast room was very busy we had to wait a while for our pot of tea and toast and on the Sunday morning our names were not down for breakfast even though we paid to have breakfast both mornings of our stay this however was quickly sorted, not enough staff on again due to how busy the hotel was.

I did really enjoy the breakfast. I love that the tables are well-dressed with white table linen and flowers on the table. Also enjoyed the buffet style breakfast with was piping hot and kept regularly refreshed. The room that you dine in has history, and atmosphere, unlike modern places - there really is no comparison, but I realize that this may not suit everyone. We are in our 60s and very much appreciate it. We love the gardens and grounds - with lots of birds and other wildlife. We saw a jaybird, a green woodpecker and a monkjack deer. The trees are lovely too. Outside of the property has been kept well maintained and looks most handsome. Our room was tastefully decorated and had smooth running curtains of a high quality - with blackout lining. Would say that maybe the beds would benefit from a topper to soften the mattress. Was worried may be a little cold and draughty - but not at all, nice and cosy.

The bed a little firm for us - maybe a mattress topper could be offered ?? Shower screen door had a seal which had seen better days and could easily be replaced. However, bathroom otherwise was lovely and clean - as was the room. Carpets generally were well hoovered regularly and looked good. General feeling of cleanliness which is nice.

This is an incredible hotel. It's like walking through history. The surroundings are beautiful and peaceful and the staff are courteous and genuinely friendly. We had a garden room and the view was breathtaking across the grounds. We had a raised seating area where we sat in the evening taking in the view and had a lovely walk around the grounds with its water features. We loved the 617 museum that has been created in the former officers mess. It was really interesting. The room was clean and had plenty of tea and coffee and the bathroom had a range of toiletries.

The only thing we didn't like was that we had to leave. We only booked one night but will definelty be back for a longer visit.

The hotel was clean well decorated warm the staff were very good and helpful the little lift round the corner from our room was brilliant the gardens were lovely even though it is a bit early for the gardening year the food excellent complements to the chef and kitchen staff

The over bath shower was good but the bath was quite high making it difficult to get in it was great to have fresh towels every day. However the fire alarm went off at approx 1 30am there was no flame or smoke no fire brigade the fire instructions were clear and easy to follow so no panic.will visit again

The actual building was beautiful and the history of the Petwood was fascinating - especially the role it played housing the 617 Squadron during WW2. The gardens were gorgeous and I could see the appeal of using the hotel as a wedding venue - very photogenic. The rooms were large, bright and comfortable. The breakfast buffet was good quality and plentiful, though a bit more scant as service came to an end (though think that's normal). We'd definitely book again!

All that being said the bedroom decor was a bit jaded in our standard double - we could have done with some phone ports and the key fobs were large and heavy to carry around. I'm not a fan of shower curtains, preferring a glass screen. But I am being picky.

It was the historical importance of the Petwood,to be honest I didn't think I'd be ever able to stay there,I mistakenly thought it was for the well heeled,but that is not necessarily true,I'm sure you could spend a lot of you really wanted to,but the price was excellent.one really needs to go there to see the splendour of the building ,both inside and out. The staff were outstanding,the food from the terrace bar was very good and the prices are comparable to any pub/restaurant but I rate the quality much higher.I had a main course a dessert and a soft drink for roughly 25 pounds. My room was a single room with en suite facilities,and was clean and nicely appointed. If you are an aviation buff like me then you will know this was the officers Mess of 617sqn ,and has many artefacts on display,the squadron bar is indeed very special.

I had to leave!

Lovely hotel with lots of history behind it.

My room was absolutely boiling hot on arrival so I turned off all the radiators and opened the windows. Thankfully it was a cold few days so the room cooled down quite quickly but this is worth consideration in future. I know that as an older hotel it doesn’t have air conditioning, which isn’t a criticism, but some consideration of how warm the room was would have been good. I also had to turn the extractor fan off in the bathroom as it spat out a load of fluff and dirt when the light was turned on initially. Breakfast was lovely and the staff were superb. There are 2 EV charging points at the hotel for slow, overnight charging. These require the Monta Charge app to use. Cost is 70p/kWh

This hotel allows you to live in a different time. Its overall careworn originality (probability uneconomical in function) is increasingly quite rare now. - It has an atmosphere of pre war- just post war considered prosperity - it’s famous romantic attachment to wartime RAF aircrew, and their often short tenure on youth and life, has left their friendly spirits in the rooms, corridors and terrace- and your hopefully well briefed imagination. It’s not going to last- you see the sweep of ‘boutique’ hotels and glitzy cocktail bars as the generations that follow leave the slightly clunkier past to coffee table photo books. Go soon, and enjoy the past.

Clear the glasses etc asap. Some of the recent decoration.

I wish I could've afforded an upgrade to a double room. The bed was just a little small for me as a wriggler when sleeping. There was a small gap of light through the door during the night. The shower slightly noisy considering I could hear next doors. The overall stay was brilliant though. Staff very friendly. The food and service was excellent!!! Highly recommend. I'd definitely come back, save up and recommend it to anyone. I love dogs are welcome too. Overall, an excellent stay. Very close to all local interests too!
