VISIT BURGHLEY HOUSE

Burghley House

Burghley has always been at the forefront of garden development and in the sixteenth century the first Lord Burghley was a passionate gardener and employer of the Tradescants.

One of his gardens was noted by diarists of the day as containing "divers conceits, obelisks of many materials and a lead pond which was pleasant for bathing in the summer, as well as Caesars Heads contained in a circular building with a table made from 'touchstone'".

The amazing contents of the Garden of Surprises are inspired by this Elizabethan garden and are hidden from the outside – waiting to reveal their surprises to those who enter. Features such as the moss house, the swivelling Caesar busts, basins of water, jets and the mirrored maze have been designed to be accessible to all regardless of age or interest, and are particularly enjoyable for the young or those young at heart who enjoy a paddle on a warm day! The garden exudes a real sense of fun.

  • Extremely comfortable


    This is the second time we have stayed here, we enjoyed it so much we had to come back again! Breakfast is very nice, a good choice of food. The pub next door is very good for drinks and meals. Our room was so lovely and extremely comfortable.

  • Amazing value for money


    So pleased we booked into Church Farm lodge, as we were attending a concert nearby. The room was lovely. Converted barn, high ceilings and exposed beams, lovely decor. Very comfortable bed, we slept soundly. Breakfast was really good. Buffet style, so many choices, excellent quality too. I will definitely book here again when we're next in the area.

  • Never hesitate to stay


    We stayed a few years ago and were delighted. Just had another four night stay and nothing has changed - it's still perfect. Friendly helpful staff, spotlessly clean premises, all features exactly as advertised. I would never hesitate to stay there when in the area.

  • A gem of a place


    We’ve been using Church Farm Lodge as a base for fly fishing throughout Warwickshire, Northampton and Rutland over the last 5 years. We have been warmly welcomed and thoroughly looked after. Rooms are immaculately clean and extremely comfortable. Breakfast varies from fresh fruit, Continental to Full English. All really tasty. Already booked up for next year.

  • Exceeds all expectations


    The rooms are fantastic, staff are wonderful. Modern but classic country style. Owners are friendly, polite, discreet and welcoming. Breakfast is epic. Well done Church Farm Lodge.

  • Ideal for Kelmarsh Hall


    My daughter recently got married at Kelmarsh Hall and we booked most of the rooms at Church Farm for the wedding party. What a fabulous B&B! I would highly recommend a stay here, the rooms are all tastefully decorated and the breakfast was delicious! Many thanks to you all at Church Farm for looking after us so well!

  • Really friendly and helpful


    We booked The Appledon Suite and it was lovely, spacious room great bathroom and really clean. Staff were so welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was lovely and we will definitely be back. Highly recommend the pub next door The Tollemache Arms for a meal as was superb.

  • Really lovely place to stay


    The room was spacious and spotlessly clean. The staff were very friendly and attentive.

  • What a friendly reception!


    We had a friendly reception, were shown to our room, which was very spacious and advised of time for breakfast. We were booked on a gin tour at the Warner Edwards Distillery which is a 5-minute walk so Church Farm was ideal as we could enjoy the evening.
