I booked the Dairy at Burghley for my wife's surprise 60th Birthday celebrations and it was above and beyond our expectations ! The photograph's of the property do not do it justice. The interior has been finished to such a high level and easily coped with our party of 16 + 1 . Access to the Burghley Estate via the private entrance at the Lion Bridge was appreciated by all and the beautiful town of Stamford is only a 1 mile walk through the park. A fantastic weekend we will all remember for a long time !!! A special thank you to Ellen for answering all my questions and allowing me to arrive in a hired Campervan just to throw my lovely wife off the scent.
The house was perfect and met all our needs and more. Very well equipped and comfortable
The Dairy is a really beautiful property with lots of lovely details that made our stay really enjoyable the whole party really loved the weekend we spent there and would all love to return
Beautiful property and great welcome
The Dairy was stunningly beautiful. The accommodation was bespoke and everything was of the very highest quality.We wanted for nothing. Absolutely everything was provided for any possibility. All the rooms, bedrooms and living areas were warm and cosy and the two kitchens fully equipped with high spec modern facilities.The atmosphere was luxurious and very relaxed. We were provided with the most amazing hamper - again wanting for nothing - and also the most delicious hand made cake and cookies. The accommodation was spacious and homely. The two log burning fires adding to the comfortable atmosphere. We booked The Dairy for our wedding weekend and it was a magical, perfect setting. We didn't want to leave. Thank you so much.
It is an Incredible place in the most wonderful setting that is managed by very helpful staff from the Burghley Estate Office. We will most definitely return as The Dairy has every home comfort anyone could possibly require, from it's massive living spaces to it's lovely bedrooms and on-suites, it really is an amazing place to stay and relax in.
It was a very special few days It could not have been better Every one in our nineteen family group felt the same. There was something for all of us from the four year olds to to the eighty year olds So much so we are thinking of repeating the pleasure
The Dairy is fantastic. Luxurious accommodation for a large group - every little detail has been thought through. Location perfect. This was our second stay and we’ll be back again!
Everything was beyond expectations. Beautiful house and grounds.
The Dairy was well equipped and perfect for a large group. The kitchen set up worked well particularly when having a cook. Would highly recommend staying at The Dairy and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
A truly wonderful venue. Location is idyllic, well stocked and kept to the highest standard. Fabulous.
Excellent accommodation, clean and comprehensive, wonderful location.
The Dairy has everything required for a big family outing. Space luxury and attention to detail.
An amazing property for our large (17) family group ranging from 2yrs to 70yrs - excellent room layout - superb facilities - wonderful setting.
We booked The Dairy for a long weekend to celebrate 50th Birthdays, we were 16 consisting of 4 families. This is an exceptional property with lots of space inside and out, with everything that we could have needed. The view over the Burghley Estate was lovely and the sun shone from morning to night. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay and wouldn't hesitate to book again.
Beautiful space to live in, very thoughtfully arranged & helpful person from the Estate Office
We visited the Dairy @ Burghley for my Grandmothers 85th Birthday. It was the perfect venue for the family, as there were 20 of us staying for the weekend. The cottage is very spacious with plenty of room for the kids to play to, inside and out! There are 2 kitchens (we only really used 1), scullery kitchen, 2 living areas with log fires, pool table, dining table which seated us all comfortably. Bedrooms are are ensuite and spacious... we loved it and are looking to go back for a Christmas getaway sometime in the future!
Beautiful property and very well-appointed. Plenty of space both inside and outside. It was also fantastic to have access to the Bughley estate via Lion Bridge. We would definitely love to return!
Thank you for your lovely review of the Dairy and we hope that we can make another booking there for you one day!
We had the most amazing time at the Dairy at Burghley. The accommodation was absolutely stunning and finished to a very high standard. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the White Company toiletries were a lovely touch. The living accommodation is very very spacious. We were a group of 20 and we were blown away by the kitchen facilities - we never ran out of plates, bowls, glasses or cutlery. Having 3 dishwashers is also an amazing advantage. There were some lovely touches like the welcome pack including wine, bread, tea and coffee and 2 delicious home made cakes. I would thoroughly recommend this property to anyone.
