ACCOMMODATION
After an action-packed day of simulated game shooting, you’ll want somewhere comfortable to rest, relax, and perhaps relive your triumphs (and funny misses!) from the day. Luckily, the area around our Rutland shooting grounds has plenty of excellent accommodation options, whether you’re after a quaint countryside retreat or a stylish hotel in the nearby historic town of Stamford.
Stay in Rutland: History, Charm and a Pint!
Stamford, just a short drive from the shooting grounds, is a real gem. This market town has a rich history that dates back to Roman times and is often regarded as one of the finest stone towns in England. With its beautiful Georgian architecture, cobbled streets, and a mix of independent shops, cafes, and charming pubs, Stamford is a perfect spot to unwind after a day of shooting.
Oh, and did we mention the pubs? You’ll find plenty of cozy spots to grab a pint and chat about the day’s shooting – or debate who had the best shot (we won’t tell!).
