Very good

I went for the no-frills option which, as a solo traveller, was ideal. Host was friendly and very helpful. Good guidance on navigating the town. Great location. Food nice although a long wait, Maybe have an option to choose from the menu in advance so as to give kitchen warning. Would recommend.
Quaint, old property with parking and very close to the High Street. Excellent host, nothing was too much trouble.

The property is right in the heart of Stamford and having a parking area is a real bonus.
The owner was extremely friendly and helpful.
The rooms were clean and tidy and perfectly adequate for single occupancy, maybe on the small side for two. I loved the provision of breakfast items but in my room, although there was a table, there was no seating for two people, only a vanity stool.
The en-suite bathroom was spacious, with shower supplies and fresh white towels provided, but no working shower over the bath, and on the whole it could do with some maintenance and modernisation.
In spite of this seemingly critical review my friend and I had a pleasant stay and would use Candlesticks again for its location, convenience and reasonable price.
The owner is a very good and friendly host even carried suit cases up to the room and give us a drink on the house when we arrived. It's the first place I will look for to book the next time I am in Stamford
This was a real find, being in the town, local to the railway station and to my appointment in St Mary's Hill. i needed only a small space and had that. I was out a lot over two days so the room was good for sleeping, breakfasting and overnight storage. All mod cons. Shower excellent. The internal stairs and corridors of living in the exceptionally old building pleased me. I'd stay again.
Excellent welcome on arrival end excellent accommodation with breakfast all ready in your room with cereal’s and Tea, Coffee sugar and milk so was close to hand in the morning.

We were in the top room. Room was comfortable enough and location was excellent. Shower didn't really work and the holder was broken so you couldn't attach it to the wall. The breakfast provided was in the room - cereals, some bread for toast and packets of butter, and jam. Was nice enough but not what we had expected. There was nice coffee and a cafatiere.
Room was poorly decorated and one wall just bear plasterboard, bed uncomfortable. Breakfast was a toaster in the room and some cereal to make it yourself, overall wouldn’t use again.

Good value: single room in town centre.
I was quite happy with the cost. It was good value for a single room in the town centre. Excellent location.
Parking is in an adjacent yard.

Central location only 10min walk to centre.
Candlesticks is ok, certainly not 5 star but for Stamford not a bad price. Good breakfast offered, not cooked but lots of other things, toast with jams etc, yoghurt, cereal, tea and coffee. Need new plumper pillows as we woke up with bad necks! It is was it is.
We only met the host at the of day 2, but he was really nice and we had a good chat. The room, while small, was clean and tidy. Having the breakfast stored in a cupboard, with different. We actually had breakfast at the Country Lounge on the other side of the river. If you take into consideration that the place was built in the 1730's, it was actually a very nice place. We didn't try the restaurant, but I understand it is highly regarded.
