LOCATION
Come and relax and unwind in our beautiful house and it's surroundings.
​
The house is perfectly positioned between many attractions, yet far away enough to be the peaceful and tranquil hideway you deserve.
On the edge of a small village, there is easy access to the small town of Market Deeping which has supermarkets and shops and it is only 7 miles from the historic town of Stamford and from Peterborough. It is easily accessible by road from the A1 which runs past Stamford and by train from the East Coast Main Line which runs through Peterborough.
​
Please find below a list of places to visit, eat and enjoy this fabulous area. Please check the websites of the following for opening and booking information.
