Family-friendly holiday rentals in Stamford

Location was excellent for our purposes (in the center of the city, few minutes walking distance from the University, the market and the railway station) The host was a bit slow in responding before arrival in the UK, but issues regarding were resolved upon arrival at the airport. Overall the apartment was in good to excellent condition apart from some issues which were considered minor due to the relative short stay of 8 days. (One window was very tricky to open and close, the freezer needed some defrosting, one of the faucets had a broken drainer, no towels or sheets were changed during the length of our stay)

We stayed in Oak Cottage at Elms Farm Cottages and couldn’t have been happier with our choice. Carol was a fantastic host - very communicative, flexible and helpful and the cottage was perfect - very comfortable and with excellent amenities - all the small things taken care of. We would highly recommend staying here and would love to come back one day.

Wow! Our group of 9 ladies have had the most amazing weekend at this lovely property. We loved the warm welcome from the hosts & very much appreciated the goodies left out for us & helpful instructions. We were lucky to have beautiful sunshine, enabling us to make the most of the wonderful garden. We enjoyed the hot tub, sauna and making s’mores in the hobbit hut, as well as yoga on the lawn & watercolour painting under the apple tree - a truly blissful girls’ weekend! The bunnies & Welly the pig were gorgeous! The house was clean & there was plenty of room for the 9 of us, we barely used the lounge and dining room! We also hired the games barn & it was like having our own little pub & a great evening’s entertainment. We would have loved to have stayed longer & tried out the pizza oven. We enjoyed a long walk including the spooky railway tunnel & a great meal over the road at the pub. We couldn’t have asked for more and would love to return! Thank you Hannah & Noel :)

Puts the glamour into glamping. Very well equipped kitchen, comfortable living space with lovely log fire, warm shower with all the toiletries needed, topped off by snug bedrooms. The ragout on arrival far exceeded our expectations and the breakfast hamper is generous. Hosts are responsive, helpful and locally knowledgeable. Short walk to local pub is ideal with dogs. Wish we had more time to try the pizza oven and hot tub. We are already looking forward to our return visit.

I loved it so much I have booked to go again, disappointed that the prices are higher. However it was the perfect break that I needed.

Absolutely perfect venue. Really peaceful and beautiful countryside. Fred and Charlotte responded quickly to every question we had. Would highly recommend visiting for a weekend with friends.

The photos do not do this property justice! The location is stunning and peaceful - Sylvia provided very detailed instructions so it was easy to locate and access. The property itself is beautiful (we thought it was much bigger than it looked on the photos which ia a nice suprise!), its very clean, finished to a very high standard and has all the facilities you could need for a few days away. We have already recommended to friends and family, and looking to return ourselves! As a host Sylvia was very responsive to messages and very helpful. You will not regret booking your stay here 😀

Had an amazing couple of nights at Dave’s place. Clear communication from the beginning and super friendly. The accommodation was exactly as described, loved seeing all the sheep. The secure garden was perfect and meant our little doggo had plenty of space to enjoy her time too. Have already recommended to friends and family and would 100% return. Thanks so much Dave! :)

The Rectory Cottage was wonderful. Well-appointed, stylish, and in a great location. Joanna was the perfect host. Accommodating and always available to answer questions. Will stay here again on our next visit to Stamford.

Absolutely perfect for us whilst we worked nearby at Belvoir Castle. Being from quiet Cornwall, we were worried about it's proximity to the A46. But we heard nothing. So peaceful. Very well equipped with all sorts of utensils and cookware. 10 minute drive to Bingham with Aldi, Lidl and Little Waitrose. Comfy and warm, so glad we chose to stay here!

Excellent stay in a luxurious house with all the amenities that you could want. Beautifully decorated and very spacious. Recommended

this was are 2nd trip to manton lodge, very calm relaxing experience, walking distance to the water, on a bus route. great place to visit and hugh and family are great hosts

It was a privilege to be able to stay in such a beautiful setting. Perfect for relaxing and enjoying the surrounding countryside. The cottage was very homely and we really appreciated the provisions provided. Personally, I was in horse heaven! Thank you so much, Caroline, Roger and Lucy. We definitely would want to come back.

A lovely getaway for the family and dog. Boys loved climbing in the tree house,space to run around,the canoes and the painting station. the dog had freedom to roam. the cabin is quirky and everything is well thought of and John had left marshmallows and choco digestives for s'mores. John is a fab host. really attentive and knowledgeable. relaxing stay, many thanks 👍 would definitely visit again.

Everything about our stay was perfect. The home was immaculate, situated in lovely countryside but within easy touching distance of Peterborough thanks to nearby A47 and surrounding towns and just off the A1. Kathryn wasn’t on site for our stay due to family commitments but made us feel so welcome in her friendly communications and prepared everything really well despite our very late booking. Also was able to help with a late checkout to assist us. Nothing else to say except highly recommended and thank you - a real gem on AirBnB and nothing to fault.

This is quite a quirky and well-modified ancient haybarn, tucked in behind an old timbered/thatched house. It's quaint, quirky, inglenooked, low-beamed, a bit creaky in places, fully equipped with everything you'd need except (my own little obsession) razor-sharp cooking knives. I know I know . . H&S. But if you're an aficionado of these things, bring your own knife. That's my ONLY tongue-in-cheek gripe. If you want to go to Peterborough . . STAY HERE!!

My boys and I had a wonderful stay at Barley Cottage. Stephen and Philip are amazing hosts, super friendly, very knowledgeable of the area and great conversation. The cottage was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. The beds were super comfy and the shower was great. Water Newton is an idyllic little village just a stones throw from Peterborough, but a world away! We loved every minute of our time there.

Fantastic week at Belton Woods Lodge. David was a great host with clear communication and information received prior to stay. Hope to book again!

This place is perfect for a quiet getaway. The hosts are fantastic and the lovely warm pool is great to play in with the kids. You can even go fishing at the end of their garden ( which I took full advantage of!!) or just relax with a glass of wine and sit looking over the river. We look forward to returning next year.

Really beautiful lodge and extremely spacious. We shared as three couples and for the price was excellent value. Host was responsive and answered all our questions. The only downside was check-in wasn’t until 4pm it had been cleaned as the cleaners were leaving as we arrive just after 12 noon, but we had to leave everything in the car as we had a function to go to so didn’t unpack till we came home later on that evening.

Stephen is amazing, personable, responsive, ready with helpful actionable suggestions if you need them . The place itself is on a beautiful , riverside property, with beautifully maintained garden, swimming pool. It is 10 minutes drive from Peterborough and 25 minutes form Stomford, and has many trails and walks around that you can explore.

Sharon’s property is nothing short of exceptional. It was perfect to accommodate our (quiet) hen party, with plenty of comfortable beds, a well stocked kitchen and many other rooms to enjoy. The pool area was super clean and very enjoyable in the sunny weather we had. Sharon herself was the most welcoming host we could have hoped for. She gave us an excellent tour of the house and grounds open our arrival, and was always on hand next door for any queries or just a chat if we fancied! She was even kind enough to let us have a late checkout so that we could enjoyed the pool for longer. Thank you so much Sharon x
