About the host
Your host
Hello and welcome! I'm from beautiful Nottinghamshire, not far from the cottages, where life is peaceful and full of charm. I love spending time with my grandchildren, they always keep me smiling, and I enjoy going on holidays, playing a good game of skittles, and unwinding with a great film or book. Hosting gives me the joy of meeting new people and making sure they feel right at home. I look forward to sharing a bit of this lovely area with you!
Why they chose this property
The cottage is tucked away in Old Ollerton, a charming village full of character and history, just a stone’s throw from the legendary Sherwood Forest, home of Robin Hood himself! It’s a peaceful spot surrounded by beautiful countryside, perfect for quiet walks, fresh air, and a real sense of escape from the hustle and bustle.
What I enjoy most about the area is the calm, it’s the kind of place where birdsong starts the day and woodland paths are just waiting to be explored. There’s something timeless about the forest and the little village lanes, and I love being able to share that tranquillity with guests.

Guests often say they love the unique character of the house, the peaceful setting, and the sense of stepping into a place with a real story to tell. It’s a little slice of history, nestled just moments from Sherwood Forest.
