Surrounded by the Nottinghamshire countryside, this attractive holiday retreat sits in a conservation area, in the heart of the ancient village of Laxton. Mentioned in the Doomsday Book, Laxton is England's last open field village. Sleeping four guests across two inviting bedrooms, it’s the ideal base for a small family or couples planning days of adventure and relaxation together. Laxton is a picturesque village featuring lovely cycling and walking trails that pass the cottage and wind through quiet lanes and open farmland. After your scenic day out, make sure to stop in the village pub just metres from the cottage, or enjoy the choice of cafes and restaurants spread through nearby villages and towns. Only 50 minutes drive from the Peak District National Park, other popular destinations in the area include the cathedral city of Lincoln or bustling Nottingham (both within 24 miles). Closer to home, much-loved local attractions include Sherwood Forest and the Sherwood Pines Forest Park, Robin Hood’s Wheelgate Park, National Holocaust Centre, Newark Air Museum, many National Trust sites and Doddington Hall and Gardens (all within 16 miles).
Cross the private patio to reach the entrance of this welcoming former farm building, an annexe to the owner's home. Step inside and uncover a blend of characterful original features, such as high vaulted ceilings, and modern comforts – perfect for a memorable and comfortable stay. Enter the vibrant kitchen/diner and find everything needed for a self-catered stay, including a farmhouse-style dining table for enjoying your meals together. Move through to the colourful lounge. This sociable room features comfortable sofas, an electric piano, Smart TV and a selection of games for rainy days or downtime. At the end of each day away, retire to a choice of two restful bedrooms: a master king-size room and a twin bedroom. Serving the bedrooms and completing the property is a family shower room with a walk-in shower and WC.
Spill outside when the sun shines and make full use of the tranquil patio garden. Offering outdoor dining furniture and a peaceful setting with colourful pots and flowers, this is the best place to gather for quiet morning coffees and evening tipples. You’ll also benefit from driveway parking for two cars, making your arrival and day trips easy.
