About this property

The Old Shop at Savile House - A cosy cottage with a story to tell

Step back in time and unwind in this charming 18th-century holiday cottage, nestled in the heart of Old Ollerton Village on the edge of the legendary Sherwood Forest. With quirky character and cosy comforts throughout, it’s the perfect base for couples, families, or small groups exploring Nottinghamshire’s rich history and natural beauty.

The cottage offers three inviting bedrooms, one with a king-size bed, one with a double bed and one with a single bed, ideal for a peaceful night’s sleep after a day of adventure. The spacious, fully equipped kitchen includes everything you need to cook up a storm, complete with a dining table for relaxed family meals.

Unwind in the comfy living room with exposed beams and plenty of character, or soak in the bathroom’s full-size tub with an overhead shower for convenience. For little ones, a travel cot and a pocket highchair (easily attached to a dining chair) are provided.

Outside, a fully enclosed garden offers a safe, pet-friendly space to relax, dine, or play. With the quaint village of Old Ollerton on your doorstep and the mythical Sherwood Forest just minutes away, you'll be immersed in the legend of Robin Hood and surrounded by walking trails, attractions, and local charm.

About the host

Host profile image
Hello and welcome! I'm from beautiful Nottinghamshire, not far from the cottages, where life is peaceful and full of charm. I love spending time with my grandchildren, they always keep me smiling, and I enjoy going on holidays, playing a good game of skittles, and unwinding with a great film or book. Hosting gives me the joy of meeting new people and making sure they feel right at home. I look forward to sharing a bit of this lovely area with you!

Why they chose this property

The cottage is tucked away in Old Ollerton, a charming village full of character and history, just a stone’s throw from the legendary Sherwood Forest, home of Robin Hood himself! It’s a peaceful spot surrounded by beautiful countryside, perfect for quiet walks, fresh air, and a real sense of escape from the hustle and bustle.

What I enjoy most about the area is the calm, it’s the kind of place where birdsong starts the day and woodland paths are just waiting to be explored. There’s something timeless about the forest and the little village lanes, and I love being able to share that tranquillity with guests.

What makes this property unique

What makes The Old Shop at Savile House truly special is its rich sense of history and character. Built in the 1800s, it once served as the old village shop in the heart of Old Ollerton. The house carries the name of the Savile family, who once owned nearby Rufford Abbey, adding a lovely historical connection to the area’s past.

It’s full of original features and timeless charm, yet warm and welcoming with all the comforts of a cosy countryside stay. Guests often say they love the unique character of the house, the peaceful setting, and the sense of stepping into a place with a real story to tell. It’s a little slice of history, nestled just moments from Sherwood Forest.
