Description from manager

Description

The Dairy is comprised of two wings named Cecil Cottage and Exeter Cottage, making it ideal for a group of friends, family reunions and all manner of celebrations including wedding parties. Wherever possible, original features from the dairy have been kept and reused along with the introduction of some antique paintings, prints and furniture from the collections at Burghley House. Award-winning interior designer, Thomas Hamel, has created spectacular dining and living spaces enjoying open fires and wonderful views. Every room has the advantage of an en-suite bathroom with deep bath tubs and walk-in showers. There is space for your dogs and an enclosed garden.

The Dairy is within walking distance of Burghley House which offers a full calendar of events and facilities. These include concerts, country fairs and food markets, car rallies, the Burghley Film festival and the world class Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials. The Orangery Restaurant, is open most days from mid-January to Christmas and while the park around the House is accessible all year during daylight hours, the House and Gardens can be enjoyed from mid-March until November. Guests at the Dairy will have privileged access through the park and be able to walk down the 18th Century drive known as ‘Capability's Cutting' to the beautiful Lion Bridge and across the lake, one of Brown's most iconic landscape features.

Additional Information:

The Dairy will accept up to two well-behaved dogs (small additional charge), however please ensure they are kept in the boot room overnight. For reasons of hygiene and out of consideration for future guests, we ask pet owners to limit your dog to living areas only of The Dairy and keep them off any furniture. Dogs are not permitted in the bedrooms.

Please note that The Dairy does not have a completely enclosed garden and dogs will need to be kept under control and on a lead at all times. The Dairy is situated within the grounds of Burghley House with a full mix of grazing livestock.
