Nottingham 5.3 miles. La Casa Lipa is an excellent Annex near the City of Nottingham in Nottinghamshire. This property is perfect for a couple or some friends looking for a getaway, as it boasts a barbecue in the garden as well as a woodburning stove in the studio layout living area. Step into your new holiday abode to be met by everything you need for a self-catering stay. There is an electric oven and hob to assist you when cooking up a lovely treat to share. Plate that up on the dining area breakfast bar and eat until there is nothing left. Let the food settle down and sit on the sofa bed as you flick through the Amazon Firetsick to find something that you want to watch. After an episode or two, go out into the garden to bask in the sunshine, should it be so kind to beam upon you. Get the barbecue up and running for some traditional summer delights as you sit on the garden furniture. Have a drink to cheers together as the sun goldens up the sky, when it is slowly but surely replaced by the night time sky. After a yawn or two, call it a night and have some rest on the sofa bed. When you awaken, start a new day off with a rejuvenating shower ahead of more fun activities. A shop and a pub are both a short walk away for any essentials or a drink out. Head out into Nottingham to see the fascinating cave system beneath the shopping centre with an audio tour. Take a scenic walk to see the mammoth Wollaton Hall and Park, or pop into the Museum of Curiosities, ideal for those into the rather unusual things in life. Go to Derby to see some interesting exhibits at the Derby Museum & Art Gallery, visit the first public park in Britain at the Derby Arboretum or meet plenty of animals at the Bluebell Dairy Farm. The Peak District National Park is a short drive away with plenty to do. Find the trail for you to see some picturesque views, go on a bike ride together to feel the air caressing your face or have a go at some exhilarating water or air sports.
