The George of Stamford
The George of Stamford is perhaps England's greatest coaching inn, retaining the charm and atmosphere of its long history and yet offering today's guests every modern comfort. It is no more than 50 metres walk from St Martins Antiques Centre.

The Garden House Hotel
Just across from the Centre, The Garden House Hotel, part of which dates back to 1796, has changed very little over the years. It was described in the Stamford Mercury of 11th June 1813 as being of modern design with two kitchens, breakfast, eating and drawings rooms, with nine bedrooms above. Now it has been transformed into a beautiful 20 room hotel offering modern comforts and traditional service.

Burghley House
Burghley, less than half a mile from the Centre, is one of the largest and grandest houses of the first Elizabethan Age. Built and mostly designed by William Cecil, Lord High Treasurer to Queen Elizabeth I, between 1555 and 1587. Visitor facilities include the Orangery Restaurant, Gift Shop, Sculpture Garden and beautiful walks around the historic parkland laid out by Capability Brown and still occupied by a herd of fallow deer.

The Stamford Shakespeare Company
The Stamford Shakespeare Company presents an annual season of plays in June, July, August and the first week of September at Rutland Open Air Theatre in the grounds of historic Tolethorpe Hall, Little Casterton, just off the A1, two miles north of Stamford. Why not have a great day out. Lunch in Stamford a stroll round the Antiques Centre in the afternoon and a visit to the theatre in the evening? Book early to avoid disappointment.
