Watergate Yard - A recently refurbished hotel with a garden, bar, and free WiFi in central Sleaford

Set in a Grade II listed end-terrace townhouse, Watergate Yard offers recently renovated rooms equipped with en-suite showers, 32' LCD TVs, and tea and coffee facilities. The hotel features a garden, a bar, and free WiFi throughout the property. The downstairs lounge and dining room provide a relaxed atmosphere, while the courtyard serves as a sun trap filled with wildflowers, bees, and butterflies. Watergate YARD's restaurant serves American, Mexican, and pizza cuisine, including dishes like crispy beef or veg with rice noodles and honey-soy sesame dressing. The Cottage, a neighboring three-story townhouse, sleeps up to six guests and includes a lounge with a sofa bed, kitchen diner, and large bathroom with bath and shower. The hotel is a 10-minute drive from Ruskington and 65 km from Nottingham, with nearby attractions including Lollycocks Field (0.5 km) and St Denys' Church (0.5 km).

Pros

Recently refurbished rooms with en-suite showers, flat-screen TVs, and tea/coffee facilities.

Central location, within walking distance of Sleaford's high street, market place, and supermarkets.

On-site restaurant serving a fusion of American, Mexican, and pizza dishes.

Free WiFi and a garden area for guests to relax.

Cons

No on-site parking; guests must use nearby Market Place and Southgate parking.

The bustling town center location may result in increased ambient noise.

“This quirky hotel clearly prioritizes guest comfort, with comfortable beds, good showers, and well-stocked rooms, a bonus being the provision of tea/coffee facilities. The bar, outside space, and restaurant also stand out, and the friendly, helpful staff, plus great food, add to the overall experience. It's a place that many find exceeds expectations, particularly given its individual character.”
