A lovely country pub. The landlady was very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Plenty of tea and coffee sachets in the room. The food was exceptional and the breakfast was amazing. Even freshly brewed coffee which you do not get in hotels. We were pleasantly surprised.

Really enjoyed my stay at Tollemache Arms - lovely greeting from Linda when checking in -quick explanation of what and when and I was all set! Monday is a well earned day off for pub restaurant staff but luckily Linda offered a beautiful complimentary beef salad for my evening meal- outstanding!!
Breakfast was delicious served bang on time plentiful and well cooked

The shower head was covered in limescale and the silicone sealant mouldy, and the toilet rocked a little when you sit on it, the bedroom was spotless though, the staff lovely and the food was good!

The restaurant was excellent. Staff helpful.
Room was disappointing bathroom had very small shower. Walls not tiled. 3 loose pieces of carpet.
The website pictures of rooms and bathrooms bear no resemblance to the actual we experienced. We feel we were overcharged. Shame really as it could be lovely.

Mo day bookings look at bar & restaurant times.
The hotel was lovely. Breakfast was great. Unfortunately on booking we didnt look at opening times. We booked to stay on a Monday. The hotel takes bed & breakfast bookings but the bar & restaurant isnt open on Mondays. So we had to drive 15 minutes to another village for food. Not what we realy wanted to do, but the luckily the other pub served food. It only says on opening time that the bar & restaurant is closed Mondays. It needs to more clearer on website as why would we look at restaurant & bar opening timrs if the hotels open. Its not a separate building from bat/restaurant to roons. We were not the only ones that got caught out. A,few others didnt know either.

Third Stay & Will Stay Again
Great little hotel conveniently situated about not far from the A1 about halfway between Peterborough and Grantham. Character building with peaceful and welcoming gardens to the rear, only 4 bedrooms which are clean and comfortable and a super pub/restaurant downstairs. Really friendly hostess and team with excellent meals served both morning and night - I recommend the beef fillet kebab, outstanding!

Ok, let’s start with the positives. The staff amazing, lovely people! Parking on site and good location(travelling to Scotland from London).
Now the amenities, once you walk in the rooms area/stairs and corridors they are smelly, like old, mouldy place, the stairs make noises as if you were walking in an old precarious place. Furniture a little dated and soulless.
The Room: dated and soulless, horrible cheap bed, pillows are thin and woke up with a sore neck. Walls are paper thin and you can hear people talking, walking in, banging doors and having shower at late hrs of the morning, also there is a constant noise from some sort of machine(boiler? Kitchen?) right below the room we were keeping us awake most of night. We found used flossing, no plastic in the bins and dusty areas.
It’s such a pity as the staff is lovely, yet not an enjoyable stay and don’t recommend(until measures are taken).

Pleasant stay in a quiet village
I believe the owners are very new to hospitality but excellent chefs! We wish them well and hope as they gain experience it will show in the rooms. The area for sitting/working was a very dark corner restricted by the en-suite being in the wrong position but could have been arranged to be cosy corner with reading light etc. Our main complaint was the king size douvet had been pushed into a double size douvet cover. This would have been passable for a single person but get two in the bed and your backs are bare! The meal in the restaurant was very good and thoroughly enjoyed. Popular with the locals as well which is always a good sign.

Arrived late, but was not a problem. Room and bed size excellent as were all the facilities.
Had a drink in the bar before retiring - amazed at the very reasonable pricing of the wine.
Breakfast was perfect. Top quality bacon and sausages, far better than most hotels we have stayed in.
Staff all very helpful.
Most excitingelement of the stay was being woken by the fire alarm at 6am! Technical fault.
Would definitely stay there again.

Business stay at the Tolle
Really hospitable and friendly. Excellent food, breakfast was large and more than expected. Bar served range of draught beers and food in bar or restaurant was very filling. Next trip will be booking again.
