From the owner

Piper House is a large characterful and rambling property, all 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.

Connecting with family is important. We are ready, waiting and immaculately clean, available for eating together, tennis, yoga, country walks in fresh air and a welcome break without an airport in sight.

Book now for a weekend break, or a midweek getaway for half term! The house is fantastic for families and friends, space to be together and not on top of one another. Put something in the diary for a gathering, with those you love.

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

Piper House has been created out of an ancient building, parts of which are over 900 years old, & offers nearly 1700 square feet of space internally. Fully furnished and stylish with an eclectic mix of antique and modern furniture. The upstairs features a fabulous 50 ft reception room. The downstairs area includes 2 large reception rooms, one has recently been refurbished as is now a TV snug, the other is an open plan kitchen living area with a sofa and large dining table seating 16-18.

Hard tennis court - opposite the house in the meadow.

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!

Yoga studio. St Medards can be rented in conjunction with Piper House, fully equipped with large studio, underfloor heating, mats and blocks. Outside shala area and two additional therapy rooms. We are able to put you in touch with yoga teachers if you wish to incorporate yoga into your stay at Piper.

The whole property has been designed to make maximum use of the space, and the focus is on light and open plan living.

Piper House offers 7 large double bedrooms, and optional 8th can easily be created. Almost all the rooms are flexible and we can set them up as either twins or super king doubles.

There are 3 reception rooms. One is 50 foot and contains a TV and separate play area, a second is a large open kitchen diner, with a table that seats 16-18 comfortably, the third acts as a TV snug The fact that the property has so much space, and its layout, mean that it is ideal for larger groups where perhaps different age groups do not want to be on top of each other all the time.

Outside, the property has plenty of space, (unfenced), including a designer 'desert garden' terrace with lake and meadow views, and ample parking space.

Wifi is available throughout the property (although please note that the thickness of the walls makes WIFI patchy)

Barbeque and garden furniture available, also cots, high chairs and booster seats. We are extremely family friendly, and guests enjoy wandering through the mown paths in the 4.5 acre wildflower meadow, taking time to sit on the benches and enjoy the wildlife.

Aunby lies in gently rolling lincolnshire countryside and makes an ideal base for one of the many walks in the area, proximity to Rutland Water and all the facilities on offer there is a great benefit, as is of course the wonderful old stone town of Stamford. Tolethorpe open air theatre is a couple of miles away, as is Burghley House. We can arrange tours of Burghley, Grimsthorpe, Rockingham Castle and Belvoir Castle, for those interested in the local great houses.

We can arrange for a daily maid service if preferred, and also a cook for lunch/dinner if required. Babysitters can be arranged.

The property lies 5 miles (8 km) north of Stamford in a rural location with wonderful lake and wildflower meadow views.

There is ample parking.

The house 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! The house and location are not suited to parties or loud music and we ask guests to respect this. To get an accurate rate for your group, please contact me
