Village haven by Stamford Wool Town

29 Church Road is a charming B&B with two guest bedrooms just outside Stamford, offering character accommodation and a large garden, part-walled and leading down to a clear-water stream. It is perfectly placed on the outskirts of the wool town of Stamford, close to Rutland Water and Burleigh House, as well as being just a mile off the Great North Road, the A1.

Accommodation is unusually flexible. The first guest bedroom is in the main house and has a full-sized double bed, an ensuite with shower, and views over the garden. The second is in an annexe, and comprises a bedroom with double bed, an ensuite shower room, and a sitting room that has a small but functional kitchen area as well. Furnishings are simple but supremely comfortable.

Breakfast is served in a sunny dining room. All the regular breakfasts are on offer, along with extras such as home-made granola. Your hosts long experience in B&B mean that special diets can always be catered for – though it helps to mention this in advance.

Guests here aren’t confined to their rooms. There’s a sitting room for guests, warmed in cool weather by an open fire that clearly dates back several hundred years. There’s a large private garden, shaded by mature parkland trees, with a summer house and lawns that lead down to the River Chater. And despite being only five minutes drive from the centre of Stamford 29 Church Road has plenty of secluded parking, secured by electric gates.

Dogs are sometimes accepted, but only if they get along with Oz, 29 Church Road’s resident springer spaniel. And there are at least half a dozen walks from the door.
