Very Good

Hotel room was small but clean and well equipped. Bed was comfortable. Decent shower and plenty of hot water. Convenient for town with parking. Good value.
All the staff were very friendly and attentive. Particularly the owners who spent time with us over breakfast.
The hotel has a lot history and we were shown around behind the general public areas.
Whilst the bedrooms have not been brought into the present day, and are somewhat retro, they are comfortable, clean and warm.
Would definitely stop here again.
The restaurant/ bistro is a must. Cask beer was faultless.

Nice but shame about the outside light
Clean and friendly place. Lovely king bed. Unfortunately the external lights that light up the building were right outside the bedroom window, we was hoping they’d be turned off when the bar/restaurant closed but they weren’t… it was like having daylight shine through the curtains the whole night which effected our sleep massively. Room 25 for anyone interested.
The rooms are rather quirky and give the impression of being not that clean. Carpets are not a good idea! The staff were friendly and efficient. The rooms were very cold and there was no heating on overnight.
The staff were very friendly and polite. We would not hesitate to stay there next time we are in the area. No complaints, it was a very pleasant experience.
The room was really comfortable and clean. It was seviced every day too. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was grand.
All in all a very good stay.

Quaint & Charming
The hotel has a very 'cosy and country' ambience, with a wonderful log fire in the back bar and a stunning, central 'Victorian courtyard'.
The Owners and staff were lovely, very helpful and friendly.
The bedroom was a little dated but very clean and comfortable, with the usual amenities.
Stayed here for one night prior to attending a wedding in the area. Staff excellent; small issue regarding room amenities was dealt with efficiently and quickly. Good breakfast and hotel is handy for town centre. Free parking. Recommended.

The bedding and bathroom was clean but the cushioned top on the dressing table stool was filthy and the furniture was very tired and old
Needs updating

The room was adequate
The hotel staff were great. The room was small and needs updating. The bed mattress needs replacing as not vet comfy and the same about the pillows. Overall we found it adequate and not worth the expense.

Comfortable place for a one night stay
The Carre Arms Hotel is well situated for access to Sleaford.
We only had limited interaction with the staff but they were friendly. The room was large and clean and the bed was comfortable. It did look a little dated and could do with a bit of TLC but this didn't negatively impact our stay.
Were weren't there long enough to use the bar or restaurant so can't comment on those. The hotel is right next to a railway line and close to Sleaford station so from our room you could hear every train that passed.
We would stay here again if in this area.

Handy for wirk
Stayed 1 night due to work.
Easy to find, good location to walk into small town of Sleaford.
Easy to check in, staff all very pleasant.
Exterior of hotel is pretty, lovely flowers & outdoor seating area particularly at this time of year.
Didn’t eat at hotel but menu looked great. Nice double bar area with plenty of seating.
Bedrooms are good size, but decor quite dated. Small tv, tea & coffee making facilities. Small desk for working & complimentary bottle of water.
I had room at front of hotel & was a very warm night so had to leave window open. Road noise apparent. Slept ok with earplugs! Bed comfortable. Some room noise from others.
Bathroom ok, all clean. Good size towels & complimentary toiletries.
Good, safe carpark.
Would stay again.
No one at reception which had a fusty smell mixed with furniture polish and air freshener
Pressed the buzzer and receptionist rushed through check in when checking I had booked via Hotels.com and was quite abrupt regarding the payment they receive by advertising on Hotels.com - but my booking is 1 more than they would have had if it hadn't come up on my search of the area. The receptionist wasn't happy that I had booked room only either but I had to leave early.
I wish I'd gone across the road to the supermarket and picked up some food rather than ordering Rump Steak and a Lime and Soda. The Rump steak turned out to be warmed up slices of beef with lumpy mashed potato and I was charged £3.45 for the Lime and Soda which was marked as "Bar" on my bill, when I queried the price with the receptionist (now the waitress taking payment)said its right it the way of the world, expensive - I replied greedy more like but paid the bill because I was made to feel awkward and argumentative. The room was not very clean with dust in corners of the wooden shelf and the wooden dressing table and mirror. I won't be booking this miserable place again via Hotels.com and definitely not directly. Assuming the receptionist / waitress is the owner. If not then the owner needs to be aware of the rude member of staff overcharging guests who will never book via any hotel site and definitely not book direct
