Its a shame the owners are moving but, as we visit family often in the area, we are hoping the new owners continue to rent the place out.

Owner friendly and helpful. We really appreciated the heating being on mornings and evenings as although the weather was bright and sunny, the evenings in particular , were still chilly. Easy to get into Peterborough or Stamford to shop. Burghley House is worth a visit for the gardens. Although the property details didn't mention a garden , there is a narrow terrace around the side which was a sun trap and we spent late afternoons on the terrace facing the sun - a wonderful start to Spring. Interesting to stroll around the village and visit the church. From Lover's Lane at the side of it there is access to the Nene Valley footpath and a lovely walk through fields where Kites were drifting on the thermals.
