Welcome !

Welcome to Candlelight Cottage. The cottage was built around 1840 as the village chapel and was converted to make 2

bedroom self catering holiday accommodation  in 2010. It is set in the grounds of the owners property in a small

predominantly stone village on the edge of the Nene valley near to the picturesque town of Stamford, Burghley House and

the banks of Rutland Water. The village boasts a pub serving food and there is a playground and playing field just down

the road. 

The cottage sleeps 4 in twin and king sized bedrooms and is well

equipped with everything you need  for a relaxing break. Outside

is a private bar-b-que patio area with table and chairs. Breaks are

available from 2 days upwards, please contact us for availability.

The local area is ideal for walking or cycling as well as fishing or sailing at the nearby famous Rutland Water and Grafham

Water or on the village stretch of the River Nene. There are many pretty stone villages and market towns nearby and a fine

range of places to eat out out if the mood takes you. Children are well catered for with a station for the Nene valley Steam

Railway on the outskirts of the village and Sacrewell Farm visitor centre just down the road. If you fancy a trip a little

further afield the cathedral cities of Cambridge and Lincoln can be reached in around an hour, as can Royal Sandringham or

the North Norfolk coast with its quaint seaside resorts and beaches. After catching a train at nearby Peterborough station

you can also be in London with all its many attractions in less than an hour.
