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 amongst 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 is highly likely they did. They would have drunk locally brewed ales, feasted on Burghley Estate and other local produce and created total bedlam. Things have a habit of coming round and we look forward to inviting you to dine on our local produce, sup our fine ales and obviously behave very, very well! We've seven amazing bedrooms which are incredibly comfortable beds & great size showers and baths.

A little recognition we’re rather proud of.

The Bull & Swan has been awarded a Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Award.

A huge thank you to our brilliant team, and to all our patrons who continue to support us - particularly those who have taken the time to leave a review. It really does make a difference.

Here’s to plenty more good times at The Bull.

One last look at the kitchen garden before summer draws to a close.

It’s come a long way over the past few months, supplying our kitchens with potatoes, carrots, broad beans, herbs and plenty more along the way.

A lot of work goes on behind the scenes to keep it growing, so a final nod to our brilliant gardening team and everything they’ve produced this summer.

Lets make the most of it whilst we still can...

September has arrived… and there’s a little something called Burghley Horse Trials happening just down the road.

So naturally, we’ve got a month of events lined up to make the most of it.

From great food and live entertainment to drinks, dancing and plenty of reasons to make a day (or night) of it - September is looking pretty special.

Here’s what’s on this month

Save this post, grab your friends and get involved. We’ll see you at Burghley!

🚨 A Small Update on Parking at The William Cecil & The Bull & Swan 🚨

After last time… we’ve taken your feedback on board.
So, we’re pleased to introduce a brand new state-of-the-art (can’t be missed) parking system at our entrance.
A toll booth.
Before anyone panics - parking remains completely free. However, to pass back through the barrier, drivers will now simply be required to provide a selfie with Sergio.
We feel this strikes the perfect balance.
