taking every care to make your stay comfortable

Built in 1879. The house was residential for approximately fifteen years, before being  changed to a commercial property, becoming Southcliffe Golf Club House in the mid 1890's. Fast forward a few years and the house transformed again to be used by the military during WW1 for soldier training and testing the tanks on South common. After the war ended, golfing resumed and the building became a clubhouse once again, until 1974 when it was taken over by the Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffalos (RAOB) and remained their Lodge until we bought it in 2019. Since then the house has undergone extensive renovation to bring it back to its former glory and we opened as a guest house in November 2021. We love the rich history of this building, and have restored it carefully, preserving and uncovering some incredible hidden gems!

Meet Our Hosts

Husband and wife team Debbie and Gordon have been renovating houses for decades, never scared to take on a project, they've seen renovation projects take them up and down the country. Now settled in Lincoln, the pair took on their biggest project to date, an 8 bedroom, 4 storey town house. Debbie has a fabulous background in interiors and soft furnishings whilst Gordon a passionate foodie, cooks up a storm in the kitchen, you'll meet them both on your stay and they'll be on hand for anything you might need.

Since opening their doors at the end of 2021 they have been overwhelmed with the positive reviews from guests.

 

A beautifully decorated but warm and cosy guest house! Lovely comfy bed, quiet location and generous breakfast from the hosts. Thank you for a wonderful 1 night stay!

This place was immaculately clean and cosy, the bedding and decor good quality, and the towels in the bathroom, soft and fluffy!

Deluxe Double Room

We loved the little eco friendly touches; there was a reusable bottle of iced water in the room, a jar of shortbread so there weren’t lots of wrappers for landfill and biodegradable bin bags. The water pressure was amazing in the shower and the breakfast was DELICIOUS. The thing we liked most was how lovely the owners were though.

King Room with Garden View

We thoroughly enjoyed our brief stay in this outstanding bed and breakfast and, if we ever visit Lincoln again, we would return!

Its location in a quiet side road on the outskirts of the city overlooking a common which gave a feeling of being in the country; also, the spacious room, excellent shower and breakfast, comfortable bed, and personable hosts.
