Sam very thoughtfully left croissants and jam for breakfast. There was also a plentiful supply of tea and coffee.
There were 6 of us in our group but there was plenty of room for everyone. The property was quirky- on 4 levels as it’s a listed building nevertheless it was warm and comfortable.
The location was excellent.

It really is a beautiful house - we appreciated all the extra touches like leaving wine and croissants for us and leaving lights on so it looked inviting when we arrived. The home is on several levels and we enjoyed them all - it's an old house, but the kitchen was very well equipped and modern in the basement. The dinning room is on the ground floor and is a lovely place to sit for meals. Two bedrooms and the lounge and a toilet are on the first floor - the lounge was cosy and had a lovely view over the park and town. The top floor was very spacious and with the master bedroom and a large bathroom. We were also pleased that we booked the parking space as it's busy so close to town.
Stamford is a great place to stay - beautiful shops, good restaurants and Burghley house within easy walking distance.

Very well equipped. Excellent communication from the host. Very comfortable. Perfect location. Fantastic attention to detail with home comforts and welcome pack.
Nothing we didn’t like it was all really excellent. The beams did cause us a little concern but that’s because three of our group are 6ft plus tall.

A lovely quirky old building. It was clear a lot of thought and effort had gone into making it a really nice place to stay.
It’s on the corner over a road, so there was a lot of traffic noise from about 5.30am to around midnight. We stayed on a Friday and Saturday night so there were people shouting in the street right outside until the early hours too.

Beautiful historic house. Excellent location. Very good facilities, everything that you would need was provided. Nice touch, bottle of wine in fridge, butter, jams, milk & croissants for breakfast. Tea towels, wash up liquid & cloths provided in kitchen. Lovely comfy beds & nice linen. Plenty of towels for use. Good shower. Good parking spot, Traffic warden helped us find it, it's over to left of house.
For us it wasn't a problem but to some it could be..steps down to kitchen were stone & at top quite narrow. Right-hand side of stairs going up to lounge are open, no rail on that side. Stairs upto bathroom & 3rd bedroom very steep. Hand rails there to steady yourself but if you're carrying cups/ plates etc a little precarious. Blinds/nets in dining room window would have been better so passers by couldn't watch us having breakfast or tea.

Location was amazing, a short stroll into Stamford and the meadows which were exceptional.

The location is brilliant, just two minutes walk from the centre of Stamford and yet it feels so quiet and private. The property feels so warm and inviting, the period features give real character.

a beautiful heritage house with character, tastefully modernised.
as with many period places, not forgiving for those over 6ft!

Really well equipped, lots of nice things provided in the kitchen (wine, butter, jam, croissants). Location was excellent, beds very comfy.
I don't think we'd realised in advance that this was on four floors, and the safety of the stairs was questionable - open sided down into the kitchen, with uneven stone steps. I appreciate the property is very old, but one of the guests was heavily pregnant so this was not ideal. The uneven floors and traffic noise took a bit of getting used to, but again it is a very old building (so no double glazing etc.).
9.0 / 10.0
Unique and full of character. Low ceilings and several flights of stairs which may need to be taken into consideration when booking the property.
One shower for 4 residents was manageable, however if 6 people were staying it may have caused issues.

The property was an interesting blend of medieval architecture and modern design. This quaint old property has been tastefully decorated and is everything you'd want in a short stay. Situated on the doorstep of Stamford's centre, its only a short walk to everything the town has to offer. The property was exceptionally clean and tidy, with 3 double bedrooms and plenty of living space. The kitchen has been recently installed and the shower was excellent. The host was awesome, checking in ahead of time with plenty of information and contacting during the stay to make sure everything was as expected.

what an absolutely beautiful house. we really enjoyed staying here in this very quirky but stunning house. Everything we needed to make our stay really cosy and comfortable. The owner Sam even left us wine, nuts and croissants which was a real treat.
I realised on my way back home to Somerset that I had mislaid a rather expensive eating. Sam found it and within a couple of days had posted it back to me which was brilliant.
Nothing - just fabulous

The house was well situated for the town and having the private parking was very helpful. It was well decorated, very clean and had everything we needed. The kitchen was superbly equipped. We appreciated the milk, jam, croissants and wine. Very thoughtful gesture. We liked the personal handwritten note of welcome - a nice touch.
Coming from a bungalow we found the number of stairs and their steepness challenging - but our fitness level has improved!
The main bathroom being on the top floor was a bit of a problem, but we appreciate the logistical issues in fitting modern requirements in an older property.

A vehicle parked in our parking space on the last day making it tricky to load our vehicle.

Fantastic location and historic house with lots of character. Great to stay in such an interesting house
Bathroom, no door which my family did not like, screen not tall enough as my son is over 6foot.
I couldn’t find a mirror in good enough light to put in my make up as mirror in master bedroom in bad place
