Two renovated cottages, Olivia (ref UK13137) and Cowslip (ref UK13138) are perfect for rest and relaxation. Each has a wood burner and can cater for guests wanting a more active getaway. These semi-detached cottages sleep up to four guests each, and have an interconnecting door which can allow the properties to be booked together. Cowslip has the luxury of a private hot tub in the barn enclosure.

The cottages are conveniently situated with easy access to the A1, and well placed between the two historic market towns of Retford and Bawtry. Visitors will be able to discover many local places for shopping, exploring and eating out, including cosy pubs and fine dining.

Ranby is ideally located for Sherwood Forest where visitors can discover more about Robin Hood and visit the famous Major Oak; also a number of significant country estates such as Clumber Park, Thoresby Park, Rufford Country Park and the beautiful home and gardens of Lord Byron at Newstead Abbey.

Nearby Creswell Crags has Britain’s only Ice Age cave painting, and a short drive will take you to Laxton’s Medieval Farming System and the thought provoking National Holocaust Centre.

Nottinghamshire is steeped in history including the Pilgrim Fathers and the Civil War. The Pilgrim Centre in Retford is well worth a visit; as is the fascinating Newark Civil War centre and Southwell with its beautiful minster and workhouse, for a visit with a difference.
Families will find many places to visit and explore including Sundown Adventureland, Yorkshire Wildlife Park, Wheelgate Park and White Post Farm. The cottages are perfect for nature lovers to relax in the countryside and explore the nearby Chesterfield Canal, Idle Valley Nature Reserve and Daneshill Lakes.

Active guests can enjoy excellent local road cycling or ‘off road’ cycle tracks as well as Go Ape adventure at Sherwood Pines. The cottages have storage for bikes. A variety of golf courses and fishing lakes are also nearby, and with excellent road links, visitors can venture slightly further afield for a day out in Yorkshire, Derbyshire or Lincolnshire.

Ranby Cottage Farm Cottages offer guests a warm and comfortable, convenient place for a short break or longer holiday base. Shop, pub and restaurant 2 miles.
These properties can be booked together to accommodate up to 8 guests.

We had a lovely long weekend stay at Cowslip.
We had a lovely long weekend stay at Cowslip. The cottage itself has been very well renovated to a high quality on all the finishes. It lacks nothing in terms of amenities with a lovely welcome hamper full of goodies, including chocolate, prosecco, bread and milk amongst other bits. The cottage was spotlessly clean and tidy and had everything you would need for a comfortable home away from home. The owners really have done a great job in creating such a beautiful cottage. The communication was excellent with instructions on how to find it and we met the owner on arrival who was very nice and showed us around. The hot tub area is fab and the size of the hot tub very comfortable for four people. And it was a great touch to have robes, towels and plastic glasses for our use. I would love to come back again, thank you! Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

We had a lovely time with our children at Cowslip Cottage.
We had a lovely time with our children at Cowslip Cottage. We visited Sundown Adventure Land & Sherwood Forest, both of which were fantastic. The cottage was immaculately presented and well thought out for guests. The additional touches - sweets and colouring books for the children, Prosecco for the grown ups - were much appreciated. The hot tub was enjoyed by all & felt a real luxury. Would definitely recommend and hope to visit again with my friends, as was my original plan! Thank you Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

We stayed here for three days as a party of two couples.
We stayed here for three days as a party of two couples. We loved the cottage and we were barely out if the hot tub! The cottage itself was immaculate and the owners seemed to have thought of everything. The welcome hamper, robes, sandals and all the little things really made it feel special. We didn't feel that we needed anything but the owners were very approachable from the beginning. The place is adorned with pictures of the work that was involved in renovating the house to completion and the owners have reason to be proud. We were all in agreement that we'd definitely stay again! Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Such a stunning cottage, we really did not want to leave. Chris and Richard really have thought of everything when it comes to this place, from the welcome hamper to the hot tub, it was all perfect and made for a completely stress free weekend getaway. We'll definitely be back again in the near future! Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo
