Stamford is a beautiful Georgian market town with lots of things to do and places to visit nearby. Shopping is very enjoyable as there are plenty of independent shops as well as the usual clothing chains. The Friday open air market was excellent and there were lots of bargains to be had. The choice of restaurants and cafes was very good. We can recommend Amore for its Italian cuisine and Kancchi for Indian/ Nepalese food, but would advise that you book in advance if possible.

I love old character buildings and this certainly is a lovely old character building. The location is good with most amenities in Stamford within a ten to fifteen minute walk. On site parking is a bonus. Would I stay again ? Yes, very much so, whilst there were a couple of little niggles overall I enjoyed the experience.
