The Bull & Swan at Burghley★★★★
"Period inn with lots of character and tasty food."
Overview
The delightful Bull & Swan at Burghley dates back to the 16th century when it is said to have been a gentlemen's drinking club. The public rooms include a large bar with a range of ales. The bedrooms are well appointed with lovely soft furnishings and a range of thoughtful touches. The award-winning food served in the pub uses seasonal crops from the beautiful kitchen garden. Book a table in the Potting Shed, which features live music on Fridays and a big screen showing films on Sunday afternoons.

About the area
Much of the fenland around the Wash has been drained of its marshes and reclaimed as highly productive farmland. Further north, the coastline, with its sandy beaches, has been developed to accommodate the holiday industry, with caravans, campsites and the usual seaside paraphernalia.
