Clifton Vacations from $1,439

I was asked to phone the property on arrival about parking but the number I had was a call centre, but they gave me the direct number (this was a bit of a faff as I was parked precariously on a double yellow so having the direct number in advance would have been helpful). It turns out that you can't always park on the property - they give you a residents parking permit and send you off to look for a space. It very steep hills around the property, so be aware and accept the offer to take your luggage from you unless you fancy a bit of a work out! Amber welcomed me well and I was taken to my room which was good, stylish and well equipped. The walk into the main town and cathedral was only about 5 minutes. I managed to get a map from tourist information as they did not have one at the property. I slept ok and there was no noise from other rooms. Breakfast food was good and lots of choice but the atmosphere was a bit frantic; we were sat on large tables together with other guests and people were coming and going the whole time and talking on their phones and to each other across the table which is great if you like that first thing. If like me you like a peaceful breakfast....no chance. The view across Lincoln was lovely. Check out was non-existent. I had eaten a chocolate bar from the fridge but there was no-one around to tell/pay. I walked to my car with my luggage, got my permit, drove back to hand it in and still no one around. I left it on the table. I owe you for the choc!
