THE WILLIAM CECIL
Where heritage and modern comfort meet
At the gateway to Stamford’s Georgian heart, The William Cecil brings together centuries of heritage and the ease of modern comfort.
Elegant rooms, thoughtful food and a touch of playful charm make it a place for gatherings great and small - from weekend stays to weddings steeped in history.
OUR BISTROS & BOOZERS
Relaxed, welcoming spaces where food and drink are guided by the seasons and shaped by the landscape. A contemporary take on the British inn - informal, generous, and full of life.
THE BULL & SWAN
Character, comfort and a hint of mischief
Once a coaching inn for restless travellers, The Bull & Swan now welcomes guests with roaring fires, hearty food and a generous pour of local spirit. Thoughtfully restored rooms offer an easy mix of comfort and character - ideal for weekend stays or a night well spent after dinner.
A place where heritage meets humour, it’s as suited to a Sunday pint as it is to a relaxed escape in the heart of Stamford.

Henry's pub
Riverside spirit with a hearty soul
Perched at Buckler’s Hard, Henry’s Pub is a laid-back riverside boozer at the heart of The Master Builder's, serving honest, hearty food and local ales.
With wide-open views of the Beaulieu River and a sunny crew bar for long afternoons outdoors, it’s the perfect spot to linger, laugh and refuel.
MILLY'S BISTRO
Honest food, simply celebrated
At the heart of The William Cecil in Stamford, Milly’s Bistro is a neighbourhood favourite where good ingredients take centre stage.
Head Chef Bex and her team create simple, seasonal dishes full of flavour - the kind of food made to be shared, savoured, and remembered.
OUR COTTAGES
Rural retreats that pair considered design with the ease of home. Each one a quiet base from which to explore - or simply enjoy the peace.
BALTHAZAR COTTAGE
A tucked-away haven by the water
Balthazar Cottage offers a private slice of New Forest calm.
Nestled in Buckler’s Hard, where shipwrights once worked by the water, it carries the quiet rhythm of the river. Blending rustic charm with homely comfort, it’s a place to drop anchor, and watch Beaulieu River drift by.
OLD PILSGATE
Country charm reimagined
Set in rolling countryside near Stamford, Old Pilsgate is a working smallholding that offers refined rural living with a generous dose of comfort.
Beautifully restored spaces, peaceful views and modern touches make it a home-from-home for gatherings and getaways alike.
