A lovely house

The Cottage in Walesby is a superb holiday house with absolutely everything there you might need. We had hot and sunny weather so spent a lot of evenings sitting on the patio. Good parking for two cars. Just up the road there is a very handy little shop in somebody’s garage selling provisions. Carpenters Arms looked good for Italian food but was fully booked for when we wanted to go.

Amazing property in a gorgeous location

Overall, we had a relaxing break with our dogs. The garden is to die for, and there are loads of places to have quiet, undisturbed walks. The property itself is huge and great value for money. Thanks for the use of the BBQ; it really made our stay in the sunshine.

Had everything we needed

Very well equipped cottage. Felt more like home than a holiday let. There is plenty of room to ‘spread out’ if needed. We have family in the area and the cottage is an ideal place to stay while visiting them and many ‘local attractions’.

Lovely place in great location

We stayed here for 11 nights and had a lovely stay. The house and garden are great and we had lovely weather to be able to enjoy it and have a BBQ. The location is perfect to get everywhere including Sherwood forest, Lincoln and Nottingham and very close to Clumber Park and Thoresby Park which are lovely. We didn't need to use it as it was warm enough but in cold weather the under floor heating would be great :-)

Perfect for a short break

The house was very clean, comfortable and cosy with plenty of room to ‘spread out’. Our dog loved exploring the large garden and relaxing in her bed which was made all the more cosy by the under floor heating. The property was conveniently situated for us to visit relatives living nearby.

Brilliant cottage with an incredible garden

We have just finished a wonderful week stay in The Cottage. Check in was very easy and the property was easy to find. Plenty of parking. The property had everything we needed and the kitchen was really well equipped meaning you could also have family meals at home. Large Tesco and an Asda 10 minute drive away. We came with our labrador and teenage son and everyone really enjoyed themselves. The garden is brilliant and our dog showed no interest in trying to find any gaps in the hedge and was secure all week. There is a lovely park about 2 doors down and loads of brilliant walks from the doorstep. The Carpenters Arms was closed so we went to Edwinstowe and there were loads of places for food. We ate at the Landsbury and food was amazing. We also ate in the Fox at Kirton and the food was nice and it has a large beer garden. We visited Sherwood forest and Sherwood pines (Go ape) and it was all less than a 20 minutes drive away. The Walesby activity centre is less than 5 minutes away and you can get a wrist band for activities for 11 each for a morning or 20 for the day. There is absolutely loads to do there so brilliant value. Walesby woods is very nice for a dog walk and not too busy. All in all a very relaxing stay in a family area. The teenager checked out the WiFi and it was fine for Xbox use.

Fabulous cottage

Amazing place with all the facilities that are needed. It was lovely and warm with underfloor heating. Really comfy beds. Nice to have 2 sitting areas. Large garden although not used due to the snow. Location excellent with many things to do in the area and a fabulous Italian Restaurant nearby. We will be back!

National Trust Tour

We came to this area to visit National Trust Properties and were not disapointed, its a great location and the cottage is superb. Lovely dinning/ sun room on the back, with plenty of character in the old part of the property. Would return if were visiting this way again.
