The Coaching Inn Group - accommodation in Brigstock

We had a family bedroom with two beds in a quite spacious room above reception. The room was ok but a little tired. Hotel is on the outskirts of Peterborough and we stayed there for easy access to Burghley house and Stamford Village which are 20 to 30 minute drive away. Hotel is quite close to the A1 and also there is a heritage railway nearby. Breakfast was good and was set in the older part of the house. I guess it’s often use for wedding functions because the older part of the house looks very nice. Good facilities with spa, pool and gym. Also part of the hotel grounds was a pub with food. Overall a good stay for one night.

I slept really well, it was clean, comfortable, just missing some biscuits around the kettle area as I arrived quite late, but excellent value, and the breakfast was very nice.

My stay was only three nights but it turned out to be like two separate stays. I was checked into a single room as requested and was initially delighted with it. But I then found that it coincided with football being shown on a large screen TV just yards away in the courtyard from my window, and that my room was next door to a gents toilet open to the visitors (ie public). And after experiencing the toilet door banging every 30 seconds and a hand dryer whirring literally the other side of the wall from my desk space, I had to ask to move. This was handled most professionally and I was shifted to a super and much larger room above a conference centre. I have read on reviews that this could also be noisy at times but I seemed to be almost the only person in that building, so it was super quiet. Apart from night time road works going on 50 yards away, that is (and of course outside the hotel's control). Advice to others: ask if the hotel is hosting any event in their courtyard and if so, avoid rooms close by. I did not eat at the hotel so my only contact with staff was with reception. They were terrific and a credit to the Three Swans. Car parking was easy and safe enough although the layout is a bit higgledy-piggledy, and I simply cannot fathom why it is also used as a public pay and display. If I had arrived late at night to find the parking full and not even all with hotel customers, I don't think I would be too pleased.
