Great location with short walk to village Co-op and amenities. Very relaxing and quiet cottage with lovely views all round. Especially enjoyed watching horses, sheep and resident emu just over the river. Have already booked for next year. Only slight negative is lack of off-road parking.

The house was spotlessly clean and was well equipped with everything we needed. Beds were warm and comfy. It is a short walk into Edwinstowe which is a lovely little village with a small co-op and lots of independent shops. Special mention to Fables coffee shop who were very clued in to gluten free eating. A 15 minute walk took us to Sherwood Forest and its visitor centre where we enjoyed some lovely walks. We really enjoyed our holiday, thank you

The reverse layout works really well, although the stairs to living area are quite steep. Once upstairs the views across livery are superb, and as we had a few days of rain we spent a lot of time watching the horses, sheep and emu. The cottage was extremely clean and the beds and pillows very comfortable. Location is good for visits to Nottinghamshire attractions and also easy reach of Derbyshire peaks. Newark Saturday Market is well worth a visit. Only downside was on road parking, which is stated in the cottage online details.
