Formerly one of the loveliest hotels in Stamford, the Garden House, is conveniently located next to Burghley Park and a few minutes stroll from the centre of historic Stamford.
Stamford itself, for over a century labelled "the finest stone town in England", is a bustling market town. Stamford train station is only 400 yards from the boarding house with the main line station at Peterborough only ten minutes away.
The boarding house is staffed 24 hours a day and 7 days a week by our highly experienced and qualified residential team and is situated close to the Borderville Sports Complex, the base for all Academy football training and matches.
Academy players will play matches at the brand new 2,000 capacity stadium with training on the floodlit full size 3G all-weather pitch and grass training pitches.
The Centre also boasts a sports hall, a fully equipped gymnasium, dressing rooms, medical room, canteen and classrooms. The facilities were only opened in late 2014 and allows the Academy to increase its intake of students each year following high demand in recent years.
