Spanhoe Lodge is set in peaceful countryside & offers 8 guest rooms. We are committed to ensure an appropriate accommodation service for all guests. All of our rooms are on the Ground level & one of these has been designed to cater for the needs of people with restricted mobility.

Pre-Arrival

We are located on a quiet, little used road which connects two small villages. Our location is peaceful, tranquil & “off the beaten track”.

It is not ideally suited to those travelling without a car, although transport can be arranged & we have various taxi companies who regularly transport our guests.

The nearest shops are approximately 5 miles away.

Spanhoe Lodge itself is not on a bus route.

The nearest bus station and railway station is 8 miles away in Corby or 10 miles in Stamford.

A railway station at Corby has links directly to London St Pancras (approximately 1hour 10 minutes travelling time)

There are several local taxi companies, with accessible taxis - we can make bookings for you in advance if required.

We do accommodate guest’s pets by prior arrangement.  (Additional charges & rules apply)

Brochures & menus can be provided in large print if required. We regret we do not have facilities to prepare documents in braille.

Our website http://www.spanhoelodge.co.uk provides pictures of our accommodation & further information about the services we provide.

You can contact us by telephone, text (SMS) or e-mail. Please see the “Contact Information” section of this document.

Arrival & Car Parking Facilities

To ensure we are available to meet & greet you, please advise us of your anticipated arrival time. This is very important as we do not have 24 hour reception so there may not always be someone on site.

Check-in is available from 16:00 however if you need an earlier check-in time please ask, and we will try to accommodate your request.

There is 1 designated parking space for guests with mobility problems – this is clearly marked. The majority of the parking area is on a gravelled surface but the 1 designated parking bay does have concrete strips either side. These concrete strips lead to all bedrooms & the main dining room entrance or Gallery Room entrance.

Other parking areas are not marked but there is parking for approximately 35 cars in total.

Parking is on level, gravelled ground, but there is a concrete footpath around the bedroom areas & leading to the main dining room and Gallery Room entrance.

We would advise you to leave your luggage in the car until after you have registered as we can then direct you to park closer to your room. We are more than happy to assist guests with luggage.

Main Entrance & Reception

The main entrance into reception has 6 deep steps, alongside which there is a ramp. We recommend you use the shallow ramp leading into leading into the main dining room. This door would be unlocked if we are aware of your requirements prior to your arrival.
