Location and what's nearby
The William Cecil at Stamford, St Martins, Stamford, Lincolnshire PE9 2LJ
For small-town enjoyment and captivating natural attractions in Lincolnshire, you could find no better than the market town of Stamford. A short 10-minute train from Peterborough, itself offering connections to London, Leeds, Birmingham, Norwich and Edinburgh, it's wonderfully easy to reach yet feels a world away from the big-city buzz. Stroll into its heart to explore quaint boutiques, bustling cafés and outdoor markets, before marvelling at its beautifully-preserved, historic buildings and religious sites - of its 14 original churches, five still remain to form a unique skyline.
Right on your hotel's doorstep is the sprawling Burghley Estate, whose parkland, gardens and house are filled with history and wonder - so much so that the estate served as the filming grounds for Netflix's hit series The Crown; for a real highlight, head to The Orangery at the house's heart to savour a delicious afternoon tea. For more niche interests, St Martins Antiques Centre is a must-visit, while the Stamford Arts Centre hosts pop-up market events and theatrical performances aplenty.
