Burghley help please

[neeny5]

me and my mates are off to Burghley this year as we did Badminton last year. we stayed in a youth hostel at badminton and wondered if any of you have been to Burghley and where we should stay?

thanks

Good question, I'm wondering this myself as it's so expensive to stay in a hotel.

And the 'camp site' only allow caravans, not lorries or tents.

There are lots of B&B and pubs in the villages locally - but you will need to book now as a lot of them get booked year on year. There is a YH in Stamford but I don't know if you can book them. It really depends on how much money you want to spend on accommodation - also bear in mind that you will need to drive from the villages.

I grew up in the village of Duddington about 5 miles from Stamford. The pub there - The Royal Oak does B&B but I don't know how expensive it is.

There is a campsite at Yarwell Mill I think that allows tents, caravans etc but its a long time since I lived there and I'm not sure if its still open - this is approx 7-8 miles away from Stamford.

i've never done it that way, but that would be quite a walk, wouldn't it? the park's not v close to the centre of Stamford.

The train station is behind The George so not that far from the gates.

i walk every year, its sort of satisfying walking past the stationary cars and the walk is about 20 min and also means i can have a wee drinky and not worry about pc plod

last year as i walked up on the friday and random car stopped asked if i was going and gave me a free ticket

the train ticket for me is the same cost as parking so its a win win situation
