Lovely little place. We rented it for a place to stay during the big fake festival up the road. Big bifolding doors opening into the garden was a particular highlight. Lovely and clean, host has great communication. All the essentials you need

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.
