The William Cecil lies within The Burghley Estate, the centrepiece of which is Burghley House, a magnificent Elizabethan treasure house. The hotel is a landmark feature in the historic and prosperous market town of Stamford.
We’re also home to Milly’s, a neighbourhood bistro in Stamford at the heart of the William Cecil hotel. Enjoy a weekly changing menu, epic Sunday roasts with daily blackboard specials. All cooked simply using the best possible ingredients and wines to match.
Whether you want a relaxing stay, a delicious meal, an ideal venue for a business meeting or a private celebration, come and enjoy true hospitality in welcoming surroundings.
Dog Policy
We welcome all faithful four-legged friends at the William Cecil at Stamford and hope they enjoy their stay just as much as you! We have 6 rooms available for your well behaved canine. Whilst dogs can’t go in the main restaurant, they (and their owners) are very welcome in our dog-friendly bar and lounge if you’d like something to eat, and our garden which has direct access onto the Burghley Estate.
There are plenty of great walks in the local area for you to enjoy and our reception team would be happy to provide suggestions.
To ensure your pooch has a relaxing stay, we provide a comfortable dog bed, bowls and a special treat. We apply a £30 charge for their stay.
