We spent a week at the Squirrel's Nest, Middle of Nowhere. We enjoyed our stay and found the cottage to be generally well maintained with a cosy vibe to it. The attention to detail in the decor with nods to the name throughout is a lovely touch. We would stay here again and would recommend this place to others.

Super location for access to disused rail line Marriot’s Way. Options of walks from Reepham n Whitwell Stations both serving food.Our lodge was well furnished and we loved our hot tub. Dog enjoyed sniffing around the garden and the secure dog park. Will be looking to rebook next year.Our only niggle was the outdoor lighting, which disturbed our dog, as it flashed erratically day and night.
