4- and 5-star hotels in Grantham
A shortlist of 4- and 5-star hotels in Grantham, from town-centre addresses to country retreats in the surrounding villages. It is for travellers who want a guest house, an inn or a country house hotel as a base for the town and the wider Lincolnshire countryside.
Staying in Grantham
Grantham is a market town on the East Coast Main Line, known as the birthplace of Margaret Thatcher and for its connection to Isaac Newton, who attended school here. St Wulfram's Church has a tall spire, and the town centre around the Market Place and High Street holds shops, restaurants and the railway station within walking distance. Belton House, a National Trust property, lies just to the north.
The hotels on this shortlist sit in two broad settings. Several have addresses in Grantham itself, including 5 Fircroft, Swingbridge Road, 74 North Parade and 12 West Street, all within a few kilometres of the centre. The rest are in villages around the town, among them Honington, Hough On The Hill, Allington, Belton, Knipton, Burton Coggles and the A1 corridor. That mix suits couples and families wanting space and quiet, and business or short-break visitors who value quick access to the A1 and the station.
