This is the 2nd time we've stayed at the house. Good communication with the host. Fully stocked kitchen. Very warm, which we needed in mid winter !! Dog friendly and a big garden for him to run about in. Plenty of bathrooms and comfy beds. The separate snug is very cosy. 4G not very good in this area if you are with 3 network but the internet works perfectly well.

Amazing property in a gorgeous location

Overall, we had a relaxing break with our dogs. The garden is to die for, and there are loads of places to have quiet, undisturbed walks. The property itself is huge and great value for money. Thanks for the use of the BBQ; it really made our stay in the sunshine.

Had everything we needed

Very well equipped cottage. Felt more like home than a holiday let. There is plenty of room to ‘spread out’ if needed. We have family in the area and the cottage is an ideal place to stay while visiting them and many ‘local attractions’.

Perfect for a short break

The house was very clean, comfortable and cosy with plenty of room to ‘spread out’. Our dog loved exploring the large garden and relaxing in her bed which was made all the more cosy by the under floor heating. The property was conveniently situated for us to visit relatives living nearby.

We would happily go back to this property - we had a relaxing stay; enjoyed by both adults and children. We visited Newark, Sherwood Forest and had a day in the Peak District - all reasonably close by.

Lovely place in great location

We stayed here for 11 nights and had a lovely stay. The house and garden are great and we had lovely weather to be able to enjoy it and have a BBQ. The location is perfect to get everywhere including Sherwood forest, Lincoln and Nottingham and very close to Clumber Park and Thoresby Park which are lovely. We didn't need to use it as it was warm enough but in cold weather the under floor heating would be great :-)

We had a comfortable and relaxing break at the very well equipped cottage (exactly as described), which we found to be well located, with walks either from the doorstep or a short drive to nearby Sherwood forest, Thoresby Park etc.

A lovely house

The Cottage in Walesby is a superb holiday house with absolutely everything there you might need. We had hot and sunny weather so spent a lot of evenings sitting on the patio. Good parking for two cars. Just up the road there is a very handy little shop in somebody’s garage selling provisions. Carpenters Arms looked good for Italian food but was fully booked for when we wanted to go.
