4-star historic 16th-century inn with a kitchen garden and live music in Stamford
Dining & Kitchen Garden
The Bull And Swan operates an on-site kitchen garden that supplies fresh ingredients for the restaurant's menu. The Potting Shed in the garden offers outdoor dining with live music on Fridays and film screenings on Sunday afternoons. Guests can order from a menu that includes vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options, plus a selection of craft beers and wine.
Rooms & Accommodations
Each of the 8 rooms is named after members of The Honourable Order of Little Bedlam, such as Ram, Greyhound, and Badger, with individually styled décor and furnishings. Rooms include super-king beds, roll-top baths or walk-in showers, and digital radios playing upon arrival. Dog-friendly rooms are available at an additional charge, with pet baskets and bowls provided.
Location & Nearby Attractions
The inn sits less than a 5-minute walk from Burghley House, the Elizabethan estate featured in The Da Vinci Code, with its deer park and lake. Stamford town centre is a 10-minute walk away, offering shops, restaurants, and historic architecture. Free parking is provided at the sister property The William Cecil, just 200 metres along the road, which also has an electric vehicle charging point.
Entertainment & Events
The bar hosts live music every Friday evening, and a big screen shows films on Sunday afternoons in the pub. During summer months, the hotel runs outdoor cinema screenings in the garden using the big screen. Guests also receive complimentary tickets to special events held on-site, such as the apres-ski themed party with a live band.
