"The cottage is spacious and comfortable, and generally well-equipped. Plenty of parking space with attractive outlooks over the grounds and surrounding countryside. In the main we enjoyed our stay here and the following comments are intended to be constructive. Better lighting is needed in the lounge to facilitate reading once the sun goes down (the owner provided an extra table lamp when requested but even then the overall lighting was still inadequate). The bathroom lighting was also unsatisfactory with three small ceiling lights giving only enough light to move about safely, but totally inadequate for applying make-up or for shaving and showering. The bathroom extractor fan which is linked to the lights is extremely noisy and urgently needs attention. Better siting of mirrors would be helpful. The Velux blind in the bathroom has a broken part which means the blind won't stay shut. One of the kitchen blinds is also defective. The weather was pretty cold for the early days of our visit during which the heating was inadequate in the lounge where either a larger radiator or supplemantary heating is required. The standard of cleaning was generally good, apart from a large cobweb in the bedroom window. Both toilet pans needed a thorough clean."

"We stayed at the cottage for a week and had a wonderful time. The cottage is very spacious and was more than big enough for a family of four. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of storage. The kitchen had all the equipment/utensils you could need. The only disappointment with the property was that there was an issue with the bath and we couldn't use it. This wasn't ideal with two young children but couldn't be helped. The location was great, a short drive from Sherwood Forest and Rufford Abbey and about 40 minutes to Nottingham and Lincoln. Slight downside there wasn't a local shop within walking distance but there are two supermarkets within a few minutes drive. We really enjoyed our time in the cottage, it was very comfortable and we felt right at home. We'd definitely stay again if we were looking for accommodation in this area."

"An absolutely delightful cottage in every way. When we arrived we were amazed to find just how wonderful it was, it was well equipped with everything that a family could need for a week away from home. It was tastefully decorated and furnished and there was everything that you could possibly need. My only criticism is the actual village of Ollerton itself where it is located as there really is nothing there, even the local butchers opposite the cottage had closed down. But it is easily accessible to get out and about with some lovely drives, walks and places to go nearby. Would I recommend this cottage, most definitely without a doubt. We look forward to going back, it is a credit to the owners. Thank you for a wonderful week."

"This is a hidden Gem and Jackie and her family are amazing hosts going out of their way to accommodate our toddler's needs. The lodge is perfect for both family vacation time or couples on a romantic break. The lodge is super clean and modern with a tranquil country vibe and has everything you need to feel at home. Set in amongst the owner's livery, acres of countryside and farm land, it is the perfect get away to relax and unwind with Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire on the doorstep. We would highly recommend this to anyone traveling for business or pleasure. Our only struggle was booking through sykes with a very dated system that doubles the prices unless you check in on a Saturday."
