Castle Farm Guest House

Castle Farm Guest House

, Main St, Fotheringay, Cambridgeshire.

Tiny Fotheringay village boasts a magnificent parish church of a scale far beyond that of the village, as well as the remnants of a castle that was the birthplace of Richard III and the final demise of Mary Queen of Scots. Castle Farm Guest House is a tastefully converted Victorian farmhouse, situated right beside the Fotheringay Castle site, with lawns running down to the River Nene.

As you walk into the spacious family kitchen at Castle Farm you will be struck by the abundance of typical farmhouse features, such as the exposed stone wall and old wooden beams (possibly relocated from the castle itself). The handcrafted oak kitchen units and Aga type cooker add to the rustic charm.

Leading through to the hall and stairs en route to three of the bedrooms, one passes the guest sitting room with its wonderful view of the garden and River Nene. There are a further two bedrooms converted from the old “Applestore” and a ground floor room in the “Coalhouse”. These two have their own external entrance which offers slightly more independence for a family or small group of friends.

Freshly-cooked breakfast with all the accessories is served every day. The guest house doesn't have an alcohol licensed for alcohol but guests are welcome to bring their own. Alternatively visit the Falcon Inn at the other end of the village for a drink or a meal.
