The house was very clean, comfortable and cosy with plenty of room to ‘spread out’. Our dog loved exploring the large garden and relaxing in her bed which was made all the more cosy by the under floor heating. The property was conveniently situated for us to visit relatives living nearby.
Lovely accomodation, well placed for Newark, Nottingham and Lincoln. House was well equipped and warm . Be warned if staying over Christmas and new year the carpenters arrms is not open so will need car if want to eat out, can recommend the fox at Kirton
Amazing place with all the facilities that are needed. It was lovely and warm with underfloor heating. Really comfy beds. Nice to have 2 sitting areas. Large garden although not used due to the snow.
Location excellent with many things to do in the area and a fabulous Italian Restaurant nearby.
We will be back!
We stayed at The Cottage unbetween selling and buying a house. The owners have thought if everything. Very quick to answer queries. Very accommodating. Childrens park 2 mins walk away. Lots of wildlife to spot and some very friendly cows over the road . We were sad to go
What a brilliant find. Close to Sherwood pines and a whole host of other attractions. The house is lovely with everything you need. The garden is great, especially if you have two energetic children like we have! Plenty of space. We will be back!
We came to this area to visit National Trust Properties and were not disapointed, its a great location and the cottage is superb. Lovely dinning/ sun room on the back, with plenty of character in the old part of the property. Would return if were visiting this way again.
What a lovely little place, we stayed here for a quiet break away from daily life and weren’t disappointed. The location was lovely and we had everything we needed to just sit back and relax for a long weekend.
We will definitely be back again
We had a comfortable and relaxing break at the very well equipped cottage (exactly as described), which we found to be well located, with walks either from the doorstep or a short drive to nearby Sherwood forest, Thoresby Park etc.
We would happily go back to this property - we had a relaxing stay; enjoyed by both adults and children. We visited Newark, Sherwood Forest and had a day in the Peak District - all reasonably close by.
The Cottage is a wonderful clean, comfortable and cosy house, well positioned for many activities in the area. Even during a week of very very wet weather we found things to do and see.
