Stamford Farmhouse - sleeps 16 with large hot tub

A large elegant country house with 3 floors, set in one and a half acres of private gardens just one mile from Stamford, with spacious rooms and high ceilings. There is a large hot tub in the courtyard and a games room. The house can sleep up to 16 comfortably in 7 bedrooms - a large ensuite attic room, 3 kingsize double rooms, a smaller double and 2 twin bedrooms, one of which is situated on the ground floor for those with restricted mobility. There are 4 large bathrooms plus two separate wc’s. The lounge offers views over the garden through the large Georgian windows and an open fire for cosy relaxation and the large grand dining room is perfect for a celebration dinner. The breakfast kitchen is equipped with everything you need for a home away from home stay with an electric range cooker, coffee maker, two kettles, two toasters, microwave, two fridge/freezers and a dishwasher. Plus a washing machine and dryer in the utility room. A games room with a small pool table and dart board provides some competitive fun. Outside there is an enclosed courtyard with large hot tub (sanitised and filled with fresh water for each stay) and extensive grounds with a fenced paddock. Parking is secure and plentiful with CCTV and the grounds are private with mature trees and areas for al fresco dining and relaxing. We have held a “TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence” for the past 4 years. Minimum 2 night stay. Please note that we are not a party house or a venue for events or wedding receptions. Your hosts Carl and Jo will meet you on arrival and explain how things work and can recommend things to do and the best places to eat and drink etc.... Carl & Jo can be contacted throughout your stay and are usually only 15 minutes away, if needed. Carl will pop in on longer stays to keep the hot tub sparkling for you! Plenty of pubs and restaurants in Stamford are within a 25 minute walk of the farmhouse (or a 5 minute car ride) and Stamford is host to numerous festivals and vintage car shows as well as the famous Burghley Horse Trials in early September. A taxi into town is approx. £6. Rutland Water and Tallington Lakes are a 15 minute drive away and Burghley House and Gardens are very close by. You do not need a car when staying at the Farmhouse as we are only one mile from the town and train station. However there are so many sights to see nearby and and places to go to that would be a shame to miss. A security deposit of £500 will be pre-authorised on a credit or debit card on arrival. Children are welcome but please note that due to the nature and width of the stairs, stair gates can not be used effectively. A travel cot and high chair are available. Please note that we cannot provide a BBQ but you are welcome to bring your own.
