Home

Bridge Cottage is situated approximately 4 miles from of Oundle - home to the famous Oundle Schoool, 10 miles down the A1 from Stamford and Burghley House where the well known Burghley Horse Trials are held every year and 8 miles from the centre of Peterborough - very convenient for the East of England Showground. We are also within 15 miles of Rutland Water - wonderful sailing facilities. There are numerous walks and cycle paths from the house, public footpaths leading to either Fotheringhay, Southwick, Bulwick, Apethorpe, or Nassington - through woods and across fields or within close range of Fotheringhay Church and Castle, Southwick Hall, Blatherwyke Lake and Barnwell Country Park.

Sit down by the Willowbrook on a glorious summer evening and admire the beautiful rolling countryside all around you. The cattle gaze at you from across the stream whilst you can unwind from the stresses of daily life watching not only the swans on the brook, the kingfishers whizzing up and down, the red kites in the skies above - this is the setting of Bridge Cottage which Rod and Judy have transformed into a beautifully renovated Bed and Breakfast. Guests are made to feel welcome from the minute they arrive, and during the year can appreciate a calm, quiet, relaxing environment from the comfort of the new conservatory at any time of year.


Children and dogs welcome - under supervision! Beware of the stream but enjoy the summerhouse, the pretty garden, the views from every bedroom and the fantastic breakfasts that Judy manages to create every morning of your stay - not to be missed!

You will start to relax and unwind the moment you arrive at Bridge Cottage bed and breakfast. A warm welcome awaits at our newly refurbished home on the edge of the village of Woodnewton, incorporating the Willowbrook river at the bottom of the garden, along with a cup of tea and an opportunity to view the stunning countryside from the welcoming kitchen dining room (conservatory being built as we speak!). We have a beautiful garden with a lot of wildlife to see and walks through the woods from the property.

If you are here to relax, then it is time to explore what East Northamptonshire and South West Lincolnshire has to offer. This is wonderful walking and cycling country - either from our own front door or by car to very well known 'off the beaten track' walks and cycling paths - not to mention being only a 25 minute drive to Rutland Water - well known for its amazing wild life, Bird Fair, sailing, cycling, walking and just admiring the view. If you are here to work - Peterborough City is only a 10 minute drive and the main train station connects to the whole of the country easily - only 48 minutes to King's Cross, London. The beautiful historic town of Stamford in Lincolnshire is only 8 miles up the A1 - somewhere to spend a whole day wondering around - take in the beauty of the Burghley House and all its surrounding gardens (home to the famous Horse Trials in September), Oundle is only 4 miles to the south - home to the well known private Oundle School and of course Oakham and Uppingham are both within easy driving distance.
