Welcome !

Welcome to Candlelight Cottage, a self catering holiday home ideally located for visiting Stamford, Rutland Water and

Burghley House. The cottage was built around 1840 as the village chapel and was converted 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. 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 spending your holiday 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

near the cottage 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.
