Washingborough Hall Country House Hotel
October 15, 2009 · Print This Article
O.K. This is exciting for us. Really, it is. Lincolnshire has so few really good wedding venues that it’s depressing at the best of times. And this year the closure of one of them and staffing problems at others has left the County really short of venues we can recommend. But now there’s very definitely another one on the scene.
Of course, Washingborough Hall is not new to weddings. But in the past it was not only one of those venues we could not recommend, it was one of those venues we felt we could not cover. We hate seeing brides in tears or unhappy guests and that used to be the scenario at Washingborough.
But we’re now two new owners on from the bad old days and,my, how things have changed!
Gone is the squalid motel-style reception area, gone are the tired old carpets and furnishings, gone is the smell of decay and damp and – most noticeable of all, gone is the who-gives-a-damn attitude which pervaded every aspect of the ‘service’ at the old Washingborough Hall.
Visitors now walk into a beautifully decorated and renovated Reception Area which exudes both style and friendliness. The whole of the downstairs area maintains this immaculate, tasteful theme and exudes an atmosphere which makes guests feel at ease and at home. The renovation of the bedrooms (these were never as bad as the groundfloor) is already underway and should be completed by the end of winter.
I could rave on about Washingborough Hall now. The owners have set the standard for all their staff. Everyone is keen to help and determined to offer only the very best service, whilst he food is simply excellent!
If yours is a smaller wedding ( I believe the Dining Room holds 50 guests) and you are looking for an exclusive – and impressive- venue, then I can think of no better place to hold your reception in the Lincoln Area.
