The Bull And Swan Hotel Stamford

General Information

Once upon a time there was a drinking club at Burghley House. It was founded by The 5th Earl of Exeter in 1684 and it was called The Honourable Order of Little Bedlam. It had an eclectic bunch of members: The Baptist Earl of Gainsborough was known as Greyhound, The Hon Charles Bertie was The Stag and The Earl of Denbigh was Tyger among other nefarious characters. We are not sure who The Bull (rumoured to be The Hon Charles Cecil) and The Swan were and nor are we sure that the club dined at this historic Stamford Public House....but it's very likely they did. They would have drunk locally brewed ales, feasted on Burghley Estate and other local make and designed entire bedlam. Things have a habit of coming round and we are waiting for inviting you to have dinner on our local make, sup our delightful ales and obviously behave highly, greatly well! Ps Sorry - forgot to say that we have one of the best maintained secret in Stamford fabulous bedrooms....7 of them....incredibly comfortable....great size...showers and baths and rather admirable value.
