4- and 5-star hotels in Sleaford
A shortlist of the 4- and 5-star stays in Sleaford, from a 5-star barn conversion to a 4-star inn with 448 reviews. It is for travellers who want country quiet, self-catering space or a room above a village pub.
Staying in Sleaford
Sleaford is a small Lincolnshire market town, and the 11 places on this shortlist are spread between the town itself and the villages that ring it. The rest are in hamlets such as Howell, Burton Pedwardine, Ewerby, Great Hale, Brant Broughton and Swaton, so a car is the practical way to reach them. Couples looking for a quiet 5-star base should look at Howell Hall Barn, The Glebe and The Ostlers Cottage, all with Jacuzzi, kitchen and pets allowed. Families tend to do better in the cottages with high chairs and gardens, such as The Coach House and Sunnyside Cottage.
