    Lots of room, well maintained with all you need in the kitchen. Great bedrooms all of a good size, warm and cozy, private and although we didn't use it, the rear garden is lovely. I would recommend and would look to stay again. If I was to give any negatives, there is no pub in the village, so you will need to drive out, but beyond the village, there are loads of great places in Retford, which is only 6 miles away.
