Lincoln's BEST Kept Secret: Uncover the LUXURIOUS Liquorice Suite!
Alright, buckle up, buttercup, 'cause we're diving headfirst into Lincoln's BEST Kept Secret: The LUXURIOUS Liquorice Suite! Forget your sterile hotel reviews – this is gonna be real. I'm gonna get down and dirty with this place, and let me tell you, I’m hoping to find something worth the investment.
First Impressions & Accessibility - The Good, The Bad, and the "Huh?"
Okay, so accessibility. Crucial, especially for anyone navigating the world with mobility challenges. Lincoln's BEST Kept Secret… hmmm, the name itself is a bit much, right? Feels like they're already overselling. Anyway, I found the information mostly clear. Good on them for listing facilities for disabled guests, elevators, and things like that. Big plus point: Details are paramount! The presence of those things is excellent to the overall experience. However, I want to know specifics. Are ALL areas accessible? What about the pool? Does the website feature clear photos of access points? I need pictures! This crucial to avoid surprises.
And regarding getting there – Airport transfer is available. That is good too.
Room for Improvement: Make accessibility details uber-clear. Include specific measurements and images. This will elevate the review.

The Official-ish Liquorice Suite Lincoln Pilgrimage: A Diary of Delight (and Possible Disaster)
Day 1: Lincoln, We Meet Again (Maybe!)
Morning (or What Passes for It After a Night of Packing):
- 7:00 AM (Give or take a volcanic eruption of snooze buttons): Ugh. The dreaded packing. Why does it always feel like I'm preparing for a polar expedition? Found one sock, a bra that might fit, and a half-eaten packet of biscuits in my bag. Optimism level: slightly above absolute zero.
- 8:00 AM (ish): Finally wrestled my suitcase into submission. Consider myself a travel ninja. Coffee. Now. Ingested enough caffeine to revive a sloth.
- 9:00 AM: Train station shenanigans. Always a fun time. Prayed the ticket machine wouldn’t eat my card. Survived! Pat myself on the back.
- 10:00 AM (give or take a delay): On the train! Fellow passengers: a screaming toddler, a guy who really likes his laptop, and yours truly, trying not to spill my lukewarm coffee. Journey soundtrack: the rhythmic clack of the train and the faint, mournful cries of my empty fridge.
Afternoon: Arrival and Sweet Surrender
- 1:00 PM: Arrived in Lincoln! The cobbled streets, the shadow of the Cathedral, it's all there. I felt the same jolt of 'wow' I felt the first time. That's always a good start.
- 1:15 PM: Checked into the Liquorice Suite. (The suite is actually a gorgeous historic building). The staff is lovely and it immediately felt like a good omen.
- 1:45 PM: Unpacked. Okay, threw my stuff on the bed. Same difference, really. Need to remember to find myself a clothes hanger. The first challenge of many.
- 2:00 PM: The ultimate quest: food. Found a charming little cafe down a side street. Ordered a full English. Judgmental stares at my fellow patrons, who seem to be living a perfectly-ordered life while I'm here in my pajamas, is unavoidable.
- 3:00 PM (and beyond): The Cathedral That beauty. That majesty. I always get a little misty-eyed admiring it. Then, there's the castle. I took a self-guided tour, though by the end of it I felt like I was climbing Everest on my hands and knees. The views are spectacular though.
Evening: Sweetness and Light (and Possibly a Few Drinks)
- 7:00 PM: Dinner at a pub. Beef and ale pie, a pint of something dark and delicious. And a good book to relax. Bliss.
- 9:00 PM: Wandering around, getting lost. I'm excellent at getting lost. Always stumble upon something unexpected along the way.
- 10:00 PM: Back to the hotel. Bed. Sweet, sweet bed. Tomorrow, I'll conquer all of Lincoln. Or at least, make it to breakfast.
Day 2: The Liquorice Chronicles (and Other Adventures)
Morning:
- 8:00 AM (ish): Breakfast. A proper English breakfast. Soaked and ready for the day.
- 9:00 AM: Decided to have a Lincoln Gin Distillery Experience. The distilleries are all small and make amazing Gin. They were very keen to share their product!
- 11:00 AM: Started exploring. I always discover something. A random craft shop, a quirky little bookshop - it's all good. Found a gorgeous little independent. I was so happy I bought a ridiculous scarf. Regret levels: zero.
Afternoon: History and Hysteria
- 1:00 PM: The Collection Museum. I hate museums. At least, I think I hate them. But this one…actually quite enjoyed it. Especially enjoyed the Roman artifacts.
- 3:00 PM: Attempting to shop. It always ends badly. Spent an hour in a vintage shop. Emerged with a hat I'll probably never wear and a vague sense of buyer's remorse.
- 4:00 PM: I need to face the worst: I have to address the Liquorice Suite. I'm obsessed, this is a pilgrimage, right? I must buy it. In my head, I'm imagining the sweet taste and the texture. I walked in. I walked out. This is going to be an expensive trip.
Evening: Culinary Quests and Possible Meltdowns
- 7:00 PM: Searching for dinner. Found a very trendy restaurant that promised "modern tapas". Honestly, too fancy for me. But the food? Divine. A few more cocktails…
- 9:00 PM: Stumbling back to the hotel. Probably singing. Definitely feeling a little loose.
- 10:00 PM: Chocolate. Book. Bed. Repeat.
Day 3: Homeward Bound (Sob!)
Morning:
- 8:00 AM: Dragging myself out of bed. Realizing I'm leaving. Feeling the familiar ache of "I never want to go home."
- 9:00 AM: One last breakfast. Stuffed myself with pastries. No regrets.
- 10:00 AM: Shopping for souvenirs, as I have completely failed to accomplish this on most days. A tea towel, a fridge magnet. Standard.
Afternoon:
- 12:00 PM: Train station. Saying goodbye to Lincoln. Promised I'd be back.
- 12:15 PM: Train, now. More sleep. Or at least, attempt to sleep.
- 2:00 PM: Arrival! Home Sweet Home. Dirty laundry, a mountain of emails, and the crushing reality that the dream is over… for now.
This is just a skeleton, of course. Adventures will happen. Probably some meltdowns. Guaranteed moments of profound joy. And hopefully, enough memories to last until my next escape. Until then, Lincoln, you absolute beauty. ❤️
Escape to Paradise: Your Wyomissing Getaway Awaits at Residence Inn!
1. Okay, spill the beans! What IS this Liquorice Suite, exactly? Is it, like, a joke? A fever dream? Am I going to be slowly entombed in black licorice?
Alright, alright, settle down, the suspense is killing *me* too! (And yes, the name still makes me giggle a little.) The Liquorice Suite, located somewhere in the heart of Lincoln (details intentionally vague – secrecy is KEY!), is basically a… well, it's a ridiculously opulent, ridiculously comfy, ridiculously *unexpected* suite in a historic building. Think plush carpets, original fireplaces (they actually *work*!), giant windows, and… (and this is where it gets tricky) a *subtle* nod to licorice. It's not a licorice factory, thank goodness. More like a whisper of the dark stuff – maybe a tastefully placed black licorice twist on your pillow (which, I confess, I did not actually eat… I’m not a monster!). It's more about the *feeling* it evokes: a sense of mystery, indulgence, dark charm… and seriously good sleeping! I swear, I slept like a log!
2. You said "unexpected." What made it surprising? Did you accidentally stumble in there, smelling licorice and thinking, "Oh, well this is awkward"?
Okay, full disclosure: I didn't *stumble* in. I was invited. Someone, a friend, knew someone, who knew about the Secret. The fact that it was such a hushed-up place made it all the more intriguing, you know? And "unexpected" because… well, Lincoln isn't exactly known for this level of… *bouginess*. I'm used to comfy pubs and cozy B&Bs, which I adore, don't get me wrong! But this was a different league. Walking through the heavy oak door and seeing the grand foyer... my jaw actually dropped *slightly*. The lighting, the artwork… it was like being transported to a different era. And yes, the licorice thing initially had me raising an eyebrow, convinced it was some kind of elaborate prank. But thankfully, the prankster was the suite itself. And, might I add, a brilliant one. I still keep the little pillow licorice sticks with me. Don't ask.
3. Let's get down to brass tacks. What about the actual ROOM? What's it *like*? Pretend you're describing it to your grandma.
Right, Grandma. Imagine… a big, BIG room. Bigger than your living room. Now, imagine the fireplace? GORGEOUS, probably original. And the bed? Think… clouds. Seriously, I think I actually *sunk* into the mattress. Plush, cozy, perfect for an afternoon nap (which, ahem, I may have indulged in). And the bathroom? Big. Marble. Fancy shower. I spent, no jokes, at least an hour in there just *admiring* the tiles. And the bath? Oh, the bath. I need to go back, just to experience the bath. I’m talking a deep, claw-foot tub, big enough for a small whale. I took a bath, I drank the fancy tea, I watched a murder mystery on the little TV in the little bath room. You know, the works.
4. Okay, okay, we get it, it's luxurious. But... the *drawbacks*? Every place has them. Come on, give me the dirt!
Alright, spill the tea about the… well, the imperfections. Because, let's be honest, perfection is boring. The *biggest* drawback? Finding the bloody place! It's a secret, people! The instructions are… well, let's just say they're cryptic. You get the feeling you are going on an adventure. On foot. With a map. And you need to be good at puzzles. Another thing… I was so busy gawking at the room, I almost forgot I had to… you know… *live* in it. No microwave. No fridge. And the room service hours were, shall we say, *limited*. But honestly, if you think of it, that is some type of "luxury" (that you might have to pay for, of course). You're forced to switch off. But it might not be for everyone. Someone like my friend Lisa, well she would hate it. She would be on Instagram the whole time and complaining about having to put on pants to get breakfast.
5. The "Licorice" factor. Is this just a gimmick? Or is there something deeper there? I'm sensing a theme... and honestly, I'm starting to crave a liquorice twist.
Ah, the licorice! THAT'S the question! Look, it's not a giant licorice-themed nightmare. But the theme does run through the experience: it's more a *feeling* than a full-frontal licorice attack. It's the *darkness* of licorice, the mystery, the subtle indulgence. The way the place just wraps around you. But it’s not like you are in a theme park. It's more like… well… a licorice dream. And yes, it's probably a gimmick. But it's a damn good one. I'm still puzzling over the connection, months later! Just the fact that I'm *still* talking about it should be enough. Damn you Lincoln, and your… Liquorice Suite! And yes, I am now, as well, craving a licorice twist. Or two. Or five. I’ll need a proper supply when I return. Which, by the way, I absolutely plan to! Maybe I'll order a bottle of black licorice schnapps from the bar this time. Because, you know, commitment.
6. Is it worth the price tag? Because, let's be honest, these kinds of places don't come cheap. Would you go back?
Right. The money question. Okay, let's be honest, it's not a hostel. You'll be paying a pretty penny. Is it worth it? Ugh, that's a tough one. For a special occasion? YES. A romantic getaway? YES. If you want to treat yourself to a taste of old-world luxury and escape the everyday? ABSOLUTELY YES. Would I go back? In a heartbeat. Do I need to go back? I can't live without having another bath there. The real question is; can I afford to go back? And do I dare tell anyone else about this secret? Probably not. I want it all to myself!
7. Final verdict! Would you recommend it? And, if so, to WHOM? Be specific!
Okay, the final verdict. YES. Absolutely, unequivocally YES. I recommend the Liquorice Suite to anyone who needs a break, who appreciates luxury, who loves a good mystery, and who is, frankly,Serene Getaways
