CAWTHORPE HALL Cawthorpe Hall is a beautiful 19th century stone built house with Heritage Grade 2 Listing. Located at the edge of the Fens where the land starts rising into a rolling landscape, large forested areas such as Bourne Woods are within walking distance. Cawthorpe is within 1 hour's drive of Lincoln, Boston, Cambridge, Stamford and Peterborough - famous for their cathedrals, historic buildings and the ancestral origins of many who made fresh starts in the Americas. Grimsthorpe Castle, Burghley House and Belton House are all very close.

House and gardens The setting is very peaceful. The lawns and borders unfold from the house, extending over three acres amongst the ancient cedars and limes. Guests can wander through several acres of roses and see how rose oil, one of the most precious essential oils, is extracted from the fragrant roses grown in the grounds of the house. The rose pickers gather the flowers in the early dawn before the guests start their delicious breakfast and l before the sun can warm the blooms and disperse the perfume on the summer breeze.

Rooms The rooms are large and comfortable and there are two doubles (one ensuite), one twin (ensuite), and one single.

Meals The choice for breakfast includes various cereals and muesli, organic bacon and eggs, plus toast with home made jams. This is all included in the price of the room and served in the large studio built by Gardner or in the lovely kitchen by the Aga. Other meals can be taken in the various surrounding pubs.
