Daisy the dachshund is going to adore her time at this bijou retreat in Nottinghamshire. Sleeping just two human guests, it is set in Halam, 1.5 miles from Southwell, and is sheer paw-fection for a couple with a pup in tow. With access to a shared garden and some fabulous dog walks, this quiet retreat will keep her tail wagging throughout her stay.Enter the single-storey property to find it is set in the owner’s garden but enjoys great privacy. Step inside via the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Top up Daisy’s water bowl, give her a few treats then set about unpacking the delicious Nottinghamshire produce you have sourced. The modern kitchen area has been fitted out to ensure you have everything you need at your fingertips to help you rustle up delicious dinners for two. While Daisy tucks into her own feast at floor level, set the table through in the lounge/diner section, then open a bottle of red wine and enjoy your meal. Sink back into the deep sofa or chair afterwards, while Daisy finds herself a peaceful corner, before surfing the Smart TV to find something to watch for the rest of the evening. Give your velvety pal a last stroke before bed then amble off to enjoy a good night’s sleep. The double bedroom features ample storage and a gleaming en-suite shower room. Soak up the sunshine out on the patio with Daisy close by. Dine out here on fine evenings before taking her for a stroll around the garden. There is parking for one car with this cottage.

Venture 2 miles to see Southwell Minster, where dogs are welcome in the gardens, grounds and building itself. Take Daisy to follow in the footsteps of Robin Hood and explore the leafy surroundings of Sherwood Forest, 16 miles away.

A cozy and comfortable cottage, well furnished and with a generous stock of day-to-day supplies for use during our stay. Located in a small village/hamlet in a lovely area of the midlands.

We had a fabulous stay in Dragons Den beautifully clean and fully equipped. Lynn is a lovely lady and supplied a welcome pack including doggy treats. She was on hand if we needed anything. Lovely walks and a dog friendly pub a couple of minutes away. We highly recommend this lovely cottage. Many thanks Lynn.
