The Bluebell

What a nice place! A lovely old stone pub/restaurant with loads of character in an equally lovely stone built village. The staff were super-friendly and attentive. The room was an old coach-shed conversion - very tastefully done with very good facilities and a comfortable bed. The food was first class and promptly served. The chef's pies (I had a Steak & Ale and a Lamb & Mint) were superb and beautifully served on a bed of delicious local veg. Recommended! I also had a chicken curry which was very good.

The Bluebell is working well as the village pub for Helpston, but is equally welcoming to tourists wishing to stay in the area. It is located approximately 20mins drive from Burghley House and Stamford, but is in a peaceful location, offering high quality accommodation and great value food and drink. The staff team were excellent, both courteous and helpful. It would be lovely to stay there again.

Extremely clean and well thought out accommodation - practical touches like a hand held magnifying mirror extremely useful for ladies applying makeup 😉 Fresh milk in the fridge and a good selection of beverages in the room.Owners are super friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Excellent breakfast with plenty of coffee and 'proper' size cups.

We were able to park behind the pub where there is a gate to the rooms. It was a small studio courtyard room with nice extra touches like bathrobes and a fridge with cake & fresh milk. Bed was quite comfy, the linens were nice, but the pillows very flat. Unfortunately there was an awful smell coming from the bathroom, which didn't seem to be the loo & more the shower drain, so we kept the door closed & the light/fan on, which lessened the smell. Dinner was very tasty, as was breakfast, although the chef was left alone to cook & serve the breakfast, so it made it a little awkward & took some time. Obviously the missing staff member could have had an emergency, so hopefully they are ok. All in all & nice stay.

Everything! Staff and service were excellent from the moment we got there until we left! The deluxe room was beautiful- spotlessly clean with some lovely extras like fresh milk and cake as well as delicious coffee. The food can only be described as amazing, with generous portions served both at breakfast and our evening meal- so much so, there was no room for pudding! The Bluebell was genuinely dog friendly- our dog was made to feel very welcome. I cannot recommend this place highly enough both for quality and value for money! We will definitely go back!
