Leading on from the kitchen is a large oak beamed lounge with comfortable leather sofas with foot stool seating up to 8 people, log burner (electric) for a cosy effect without the hassle and large flat screen TV & DVD player.

The extensive grounds are laid out to give the guests somewhere to sit and enjoy the wildlife, we have dotted benches and two summerhouses by the wildlife lake where you can enjoy watching the ducks, dragon flies, many different types of birds and the beautiful sunsets followed by the bats in the evening. There are a number of dinning sets where you can sit and BBQ or just have a drink and a chat, you are welcome to have a wander around the vegetable gardens and visit the chickens to the rear.

Getting around

It is advisable to have a car at hand as the local public transport only runs every other hour. Stamford does however have its own train station where you can catch a train to take you to Peterborough and on to London, or Stanstead airport in one direction or Oakham and onto Birmingham in the other direction.

Interaction with guest

We aim to have the cottage prepared for your arrival from 3pm and as we live on site we are generally around if you need us but we will leave you to enjoy your stay in peace, if you could let us know an expected time of arrival we will be here to greet you, show you around and hand over the keys from then on you can relax and make yourselves at home. We also offer our guests the chance purchase a selection of homemade produce Jams, Chutneys and Jellies made by ourselves using fruit and vegetables from the grounds plus our Award winning Honey and freshly laid free range Eggs. We have a wildlife pond area where we ask that children are accompanied at all times.
