Space, light & clean air in a large, quirky home close to Stamford. A place where you & your family can all be just far enough from home to feel like a holiday.

Over 3460 sq feet of internal space, room to enjoy.

All rates quoted in VRBO incl their commission charges - we also take bookings through our own website.

Book now for 2024 - something to look forward to in the New Year! The house is fantastic for families and friends, space to be together and not on top of one another. Take the pressure off travelling overseas and put something in the diary for a few days with those you love in our off the beaten track but well connected corner of beautiful England .

Piper House is a haven, extremely rural and surrounded by fresh air and open fields with far reaching views.

Tennis, yoga shala (optional), ping pong, wildflower meadow.

Tennis,
yoga shala (optional and by arrangement),
50 ft reception room,
open plan kitchen & wide screen TV den,
wildflower meadow.
Weekend min 2 nights (except BH 3 nights and Xmas/NYE),
MIDWEEK BREAKS MIN 4 NIGHTS CHARGE.
Weekends are generally assumed to be Fr/Saturday nights and Sunday is priced as a midweek. If however you prefer to stay Sat/ Sun then the Sunday night would be priced as a weekend night. This is just to allow those people who prefer to stay 3 nights not to be charged for three peak rate nights. If you request a Sat/Sun stay the site will quote based on one weekend night rate and one midweek rate night which will be inaccurate, apologies for this, but if you do want the Sat/Sun night weekend and to check out on a Monday, please contact us for the correct rate.

Gt road links (A1). 100 m fm London, and easily accessible from the north east and west, meet in the heart of the country.

All major supermarkets deliver here, so just bring yourselves and take time to decompress and reconnect.

A characterful and rambling property with 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms which offers nearly 3460 square feet of space internally.
Piper has the option to take an additional yoga studio (accommodating up to 12 mats, with an outside deck which can take more (subject to the weather). The studio has two additional therapy rooms and a large outdoor deck shala, which stands in the wildflower meadow.

Piper has been converted with great care and attention to detail - the house is light filled and warm, always welcoming. Three separate seating areas allow different age groups to have their own space - the cosy snug has a fantastic TV - always popular with those wanting to chill out with a film. We can provide cots and high chairs, and the house comes with an array of toys and books.
With direct access onto the bridleway - guests can walk out from the front door. Red Kites often nest in the meadow - which itself is a wonderful amenity for those who enjoy the countryside. There is a superb all weather tennis court for those wishing to play (please let us know if you intend to play so we can make sure the net is in place!) The court is ONLY to be used for tennis please.There is a small terraced 'desert garden' with table and chairs - ideal for a barbeque - overlooking the meadow - and we are happy for guests to enjoy the meadow.
The lodge is part of a very rural hamlet and is extremely quiet and peaceful - it is an oasis of calm. Especially when the sun is shining!
We welcome weekend guests for a min stay of 2 nights, midweek breaks are a min stay of 4 nights. Bank holiday weekends are a min of 3 nights, 4 nights over Christmas, New Year and Easter. Weekends are Fri/Sat unless by specific arrangement.
We aim to be flexible so contact us if your requirements fall outside these guidelines! It is hard to price the house in a 'one price fits all way' as all groups are different - please contact us for a precise rate for your group.

About the host

Hosted by K Maitland

Host profile image
We have lived in Aunby, close to beautiful Stamford for 23 years, and love it here. We have 4 children, keep bees and love the meadow and the space. We love welcoming people to Piper, and do our utmost to make sure you have a good stay in lovely Lincs!

Why they chose this property

Piper House is quirky and spacious. It is flexible enough to suit most people, the bedrooms can be organised to accommodate couples or singles. Children love the three staircases and the paths we cut through the meadow. The tennis court is fantastic - and playable even in thunderstorms! The yoga studio was opened in 2019 - and we hope guests will enjoy sun salutations overlooking the meadow

What makes this property unique

Tennis court, wild flower meadow, yoga studio (optional extra) we are on a bridleway which means you can walk from the front door. Fantastic places to eat and shop within a few miles and stately homes and wonderful gardens to visit all around us! Rutland Water is a few miles away with sailing, cycling and the fantastic water park. Shakespeare at Tolethorpe, and opera at Nevill Holt, and Burghley horse trials on our doorstep.
