A full English breakfast is served each morning in the spacious conservatory which has views of the ornamental duck pond and formal garden. A continental or vegetarian breakfast can be provided on request. We are also sometimes able to offer evening meals (by arrangement), with silver service as an option if required. Game cooking is a speciality. Please bring your own wine. For the comfort of guests we operate a non-smoking policy within the
house. |

All of our rooms are double rooms. For single occupancy the rates are from £40. For double occupancy the rates are from £60 and for our family room the charge is from £70 per night. Special rates are sometimes available for block/extended bookings. We regret we are unable to accept credit cards.
Wistow is sign-posted off the B1040, which runs between Ramsey and Warboys. Pointers is on the left-hand side, two hundred yards from this junction. Drive through the entrance gates and follow our private drive to the courtyard in front of the house.
