This lovely cottage getaway for two is a dog’s delight, welcoming up to three furry friends. Pet plus points include ample room for snoozing on the ground floor, and a large, dogs-only field where they can romp in safety. The spacious, contemporary retreat is one in a thoughtfully designed complex of properties, set on a working family farm and overlooks trees and greenery. Meet the farm animals and take a stroll around the lakes in the surrounding grounds. A splendid, shared games barn and library are a bonus, while country walks for you and your pets are on the doorstep.
A wall of glass floods the cottage’s airy, open-plan layout with light. Stylish and beautifully furnished, it houses comfortable seating in tones of grey and yellow in the living area. A well-crafted kitchen meets all your self-catering needs and there is a cosy dining nook. Upstairs, on a mezzanine floor, you’ll find a sumptuous, king-size bedroom with a sleek en-suite shower room. Outside, the pretty patio has garden furniture, while a large, shared grassed area has a BBQ for al fresco meals. Enjoy time with your pup in the enclosed dog playfield. The huge, well-stocked, shared games barn houses a snooker table and large library.
The Idle Valley nature reserve, just 2 miles away is a beautiful spot for a peaceful walk along woodland and lakeside trails, both rich in wildlife; look out for the resident beavers. Take a picnic or visit the cafe, with wonderful views across the reserve. Dogs are warmly welcomed but please keep pets on a lead. Historic Gainsborough (10.5 miles) is home to Old Gainsborough Hall, a magnificent Tudor manor house, a fine Georgian church and a huge, hand-built model railway. Bawtry (8 miles) offers independent shops, dog-friendly pubs and an all-season golf course.
