The property reminds me of a student flat mixed with a converted garage as it was very small but it served the purpose for us which was a place to stay close to Nottingham where we went to explore. It's also got a beautiful park around 5 minutes away which we explored on the first night there. The kitchenette could do with either a multi cooker or hob though unless you are ok with just sandwiches or a slow cooker meal as it changed our plans for meals when here as I didn't realise there would be no hob. The shower tray had recently been fixed according to the owner but the water did not run off very quickly so you were stood in a pool while showering but otherwise it's what is expected of a small ensuite bathroom. We really enjoyed our stay here as we're very adaptable people so thank you.

Very comfortable bed and adequate kitchen area for the time we were there. Parking virtually next to the accommodation but with a couple of steps which are illuminated by the security light when its dark. Bread, biscuits and tea/coffee etc were all there and waiting. Brief chat with the owners when arriving to make sure we were all OK made us feel welcomed. There is a pub literally 2 minutes walk from here which unfortunately we left to late to book a table for a meal, but it is meant to be superb. Would happily stay here again
