Blending rustic character with modern comfort, this spacious property is ideal for couples or friends seeking a rural escape.

While The Granary is a peaceful retreat, it’s also wonderfully located for discovering the area’s rich heritage and natural beauty. The picturesque village of Thornhaugh sits just minutes from Stamford, one of England’s most beautiful Georgian market towns. Stroll its cobbled streets, browse independent boutiques, or dine in one of its many acclaimed pubs and restaurants. Don’t miss Burghley House, a grand Elizabethan mansion surrounded by landscaped parkland and scenic walking trails.
For outdoor enthusiasts, there are endless opportunities to explore. The nearby Rutland Water Nature Reserve offers cycling, sailing, and birdwatching, while the Nene Valley provides peaceful riverside walks and charming country pubs. Keen walkers can follow the Jurassic Way or Hereward Way, both passing through the local area, offering stunning views across fields and woodlands.
Closer to home, the village of Wansford, less than a mile away, provides traditional English charm with a riverside inn, tea room, and local walks along the River Nene. For a day trip, venture over to the bustling city of Peterborough, with its 13th century cathedral with impressive Gothic face, a heritage trail taking you back in time with access to the Peterborough Museum home to a reconstructed Victorian operating theatre, fossils and paintings, as well as Burghley House, John Clare Cottage and Sacrewell Farm all being well-worth visiting for a true rural experience. For railway lovers, the Nene Valley Railway offers a trip back in time on a steam train, and the children will love the Santa ride. The market towns of Oundle and Uppingham are all within easy reach.
Whether you are seeking a quiet countryside break or a base for exploring some of England’s prettiest towns and villages, The Granary, Thornhaugh offers comfort, character, and a true sense of rural escape, a place to slow down, reconnect, and make lasting memories.
The Granary cottage can be booked together with The Farmhouse and The Barn to accommodate groups of up to 18 guests.
