By far the best way to enjoy the Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials is by combining it with a couple of nights in one of the hotels near Burghley House in Stamford. Sir Walter Scott famously dubbed the town “the finest scene between London and Edinburgh,” and with its 600 listed buildings and six churches within one square mile, he wasn’t exaggerating.
Needless to say finding accommodation over the Burghley weekend is no mean feat; popular places near by often give regular visitors first choice on rooms making it difficult to get onto the accommodation ladder.
If at first you don’t succeed, add yourself to the waiting list – there is always a chance some Burghley regulars have other plans this year. It is also worth asking hotel receptionists and guest house owners if they have any other places you could try. Many families are willing to provide bed and breakfast accommodation during the Burghley weekend or know people on holiday who are willing to rent out their house.
But if after hours of calling you have hit a very sturdy brick wall do not be disheartened as there are plenty of excellent campsites available too.
We’ve rounded up a great selection of accommodation by type – not just hotels near Burghley House, but guest houses, B&Bs, holiday lets and campsites, too, so you can easily find what you’re looking for. Distances are calculated to Burghley House but there are numerous event entrances and a temporary traffic route on event days so this measure should be used as a guide only.
