We had a lovely stay! 😊 The host was so welcoming and friendly, and the accommodation itself is beautifully decorated, really well equipped and had everything we needed.The enclosed garden was brilliant for our dog, and he even got the chance to play with the host’s dog, which he loved! There’s also a big field nearby with a beautiful walk, so it’s a great place to stay with a dog.We’d seen a few reviews mention that the accommodation is right next to the owner’s house, but we honestly didn’t find this a problem at all. It didn’t feel intrusive in any way and we felt completely comfortable and private during our stay.The location was perfect for us too, particularly being within easy reach of Clumber Park. It was just a really lovely place to stay and we’d definitely come back.

Great hosts and accommodation exactly as the photos.The place was well equipped with everything you could possibly need for your stay.The garden was a real sun trap. Only downside for me was the noise of the road
