We had a very pleasant stay in this cottage. It is very well equipped, cosy and comfortable. The hosts have been very careful to ensure you have everything you could posibly need. And what a lovely, welcoming couple they are. The location is also good with easy acces to main roads etc. The surroundings are very quiet and calm.

Very well equipped cottage and a good location for local amenities. A short drive to areas such as Sherwood Forest. Garden is enclosed and paved so dog friendly. A very generous welcome pack too which was much appreciated.
