Located on a working farm and within the grounds of a historic priory, this charming cottage is the ideal getaway for up to four people and their four-legged explorer. Hundreds of acres of woodland surround the cottage, making it a great choice for those who are looking to enjoy countryside walks and getting back to nature. With a popular tearoom and Artisan bakery on-site, and the resident sheep, goats, hens and peacock to meet, this is a super rural retreat.
The property is one of two which have been newly built to the design of the 17th-century farmhouse, combining traditional features with all the modern comforts you’ll need for a relaxing break. The open-plan living area with exposed beams and brickwork, is both welcoming and homely. The weary pawed will be stretching out in front of the cosy wood burner before you know it, while you snuggle up on the sofas to enjoy a film or board game. The kitchen has all you need to rustle up a snack for hungry guests, which can be enjoyed at the dining table, and you’ll also find the shared utility room a handy addition. When it’s time to sleep, head upstairs to the two inviting bedrooms which are both comfortable and restful. Heading outside, you’ll discover seating by the cottage and acres of grounds to explore.
There are many circular walks and cycle trails on the doorstep, ensuring the stick chasers in the family will be kept entertained. Meander through the glorious gardens and parkland at the historic Newstead Abbey (12 miles), which covers more than 300 acres and features lakes, ponds and waterfalls. The impressive Wollaton Hall (8.5 miles) with its 400-acre deer park, also welcomes dogs on leads. For a day in the city, bustling Nottingham is 8 miles away.
