The owner is a very good and friendly host even carried suit cases up to the room and give us a drink on the house when we arrived. It's the first place I will look for to book the next time I am in Stamford

It was in a convenient location. Easy check in and breakfast left in the room. Small fridge was useful. A general update (redec) of the common areas and room 5 would be useful.

We had a lovely stay at Candlesticks and would definitely stay again - comfortable, clean and quiet room, along with a friendly, responsive host. It's very close to all that Stamford has to offer and very convenient for Burghley House, plus has plenty of shops, restaurants and pubs nearby. The breakfast provided in our room was spot on!

The property is right in the heart of Stamford and having a parking area is a real bonus.
The owner was extremely friendly and helpful.
The rooms were clean and tidy and perfectly adequate for single occupancy, maybe on the small side for two. I loved the provision of breakfast items but in my room, although there was a table, there was no seating for two people, only a vanity stool.
The en-suite bathroom was spacious, with shower supplies and fresh white towels provided, but no working shower over the bath, and on the whole it could do with some maintenance and modernisation.
In spite of this seemingly critical review my friend and I had a pleasant stay and would use Candlesticks again for its location, convenience and reasonable price.

Clean and friendly experience overall. But the room we stayed in was very tired and dated.

We loved the location of the property...not too far from the shops, bars and restaurants and it was in quiet surroundings.
The owner was very welcoming and we felt relaxed staying there.
The property was unique and very comfortable and we enjoyed our stay in beautiful Stamford.

Room was poorly decorated and one wall just bear plasterboard, bed uncomfortable. Breakfast was a toaster in the room and some cereal to make it yourself, overall wouldn’t use again.
