The accommodation was incredibly clean, spacious, quiet, and comfortable. It's situated in an absolutely picturesque part of Nottingham. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for either an escapist retreat or a convenient and comfortable place to stay.
The Toy Room was all we could have asked for. It was very roomy with lots of different spaces to relax. It was fully stocked in the kitchen and bathroom and was very clean. The fresh flowers, cake and milk were a nice welcoming touch. We slept soundly in the comfortable bed. The central location (which was easy to find based on the good instructions) was close to our family and made getting out and about so easy. Our seven day stay went by so fast! We would highly recommend the Toy Room to future guests!
We have a short but excellent stay. Great location as just outside Nottingham but everything easily accessible by car. The accommodation was comfortable and clean and we appreciated that there were basics like washing up liquid in the property plus the milk bread and cake that was left for us when we arrived.
This cottage has all you would need for your stay, it was spotlessly clean, very comfortable and the extra little touches (flowers, chocolate cake) were most welcome.
It has everything and is spotless. The photo of the property is misleading as the accommodation is at the back but this was no problem for us but a bit confusing when you arrive.
Used as a base for visiting relatives, wish we could have spent longer in this beautiful place.
Really well equipped with some lovely personal touches, very clean.
Would definitely like to stay here again.
