Property code: OC-93150

This top dog holiday home sits in a rural position within a 4th-generation owned and run farm, with plenty of space for your beloved pooches to enjoy their morning walkies. Sleeping five guests and three waggy-tailed friends is the ideal setting for families and friends looking for a cosy base for exploring the Nottinghamshire countryside.

This charming, home-from-home is full of character and furnished with all the comforts needed for a relaxing stay. Step into the open-plan living space and settle down with your furry friends in the cosy lounge. With plenty of seating and exposed beams, this is a welcome sanctuary after blustery walks in the local scenery. The convenient kitchen holds all the equipment needed to create your finest recipes and enough room to store all those pesky dog treats! Gather around the dining table for a breakfast bonanza or use the space for board games and coffee catch-ups. When heads begin to nod, say goodnight to your pups and climb into one of five inviting beds: a king-size bed or single bed in the family room or one of two singles in the twin room. Both have their own bathroom facilities. Outside, the enclosed courtyard is ideal for energy-rich canines, while the games room is a haven for the group's youngsters.

Get two and four legs moving with strolls around the farm's grounds, where wildlife can be spotted – but perhaps keep your dogs on a lead for this one! There are several dog-friendly activities to do while staying in this property. Just 2 miles away, the fabulous wetland of Idle Valley Nature Reserve is great for stretching your legs, while 11 miles away, the National Trust's Clumber Park provides 3,800 acres of exploration, woodland walks and the chance to enjoy a coffee and slab of cake.

Victoria is a superb host. Her family members and helpers are wonderful people. The cottage is clean, tidy, and well-equipped. The front garden is a great idea for dog owners and small children. The billiard room is fantastic. For children, there is a separate playground. The separate laundry room helps to keep noise and humidity away from the liviRead moreng area. The garden is always tidy. I liked the rotary airer behind the laundry room, as it kept the clothing smelling fresh. Very highly recommended. Hide
