Village haven by Stamford Town

29 Church Road is a charming B&B just outside Stamford, with one double guest room in a large barn annexe. This can be offered on a B&B basis, but as it also has its own bathroom, kitchen and sitting room with doors to the garden so it can also be taken as self-contained accommodation if required. There’s even space for a trundle bed which means it can sleep three.

The main draw is its position just outside the historic stone-built Stamford, perhaps the  UK’s most outstanding market town, close to Rutland Water and Burghley House, and just a mile off the Great North Road. However it is also a superb place to stay in its own right, offering character accommodation and an exceptional garden, part-walled and leading down to a magical clear-water stream.

Accommodation is unusually spacious. The barn annexe comprises a bedroom with king size bed, a separate shower and a small but functional kitchen. There’s a large garden room with panoramic views, and French windows giving easy access to the outdoors. Furnishings are supremely comfortable.

Breakfast for B&B guests is served in a sunny dining room in the main house. All the regular breakfasts are on offer, along with extras such as home-made granola, local honey, breads and other seasonal produce. Your hosts’ long experience in B&B mean that special diets can always be catered for, although it helps to mention this in advance.

Guests can enjoy the large private garden, shaded by mature parkland trees, with a summer house and lawns that lead down to the beautiful River Chater. And despite being only five minutes drive from the centre of Stamford 29 Church Road has plenty of parking, secured by electric gates.

29 Church Road is exclusively offered through Wolsey Lodges and is not available through the search giants. It’s a very special place to stay.

Location

29 Church Road is quietly positioned in the conservation village of Ketton, adjacent to the church. This is an oasis of calm close to Stamford, one of the finest stone towns in the UK. It's within a few minutes drive of Rutland Water with its annual Bird Fair and Burghley House, which hosts the prestigious international Burghley Horse Trials in early September. It's a 3 Day event which attracts competitors and fans from around the world. Situated barely a mile from the A1 Great North Road, so especially convenient for travellers heading North or South who wish to take a comfortable break in their journey. Rutland might be the UK's smallest county but this acts in your favour as all its attractions are within easy reach. Including Oakham and Uppingham, charming market towns with their celebrated boarding schools. Fortunately the Rutland Vineyard is also within easy walking distance with amazing views as well as tasty snacks and wines from their latest vintages. Nearer by (one minute walk) is The Railway Inn which has been awarded CAMRA best beer several times. No food sadly except on Mondays when a fish and chip van stops outside at around 5.30pm Its very popular with locals who enjoy them with their award winning pint.
