Guests that stayed at this property said

Guests consistently describe the cottage as very clean, with no negative comments on cleanliness, indicating high standards are maintained.

The location is appreciated for its rural charm and proximity to local sights, though the distance to shops and the noise from the road are noted drawbacks.

The cottage is often described as cosy and comfortable, with a lovely fire and good furnishings. However, some guests mention issues with the bathroom size and water pressure.

Facilities like TV and Wi-Fi are well-received, but there are several mentions of temperamental underfloor heating and a lack of double glazing, which affects the score.

Many guests mention thoughtful touches such as wine, biscuits, and flowers, which contribute to a welcoming atmosphere, though it's noted these gifts are subject to change and not guaranteed.

About this property

Resting in the pretty village of Norwell in rural Nottinghamshire, is this quaint, 16th-century home, Auld Cottage. Boasting character in combination with modern features, such as the eco friendly air source heat pump, this cottage is a lovely base for two couples or a family seeking a relaxing pursuit, with lots of historical landmarks, rolling countryside and attractive towns to explore. The ground floor of Auld Cottage is finished with quarry style tiles with underfloor heating, ensuring a toasty feel throughout. Be welcomed into the delightful sitting room, where a woodburning stove sits with an original recess, and a sumptuous sofa and TV is perfect for an evenings entertainment. Tongue and groove style doors lead into the kitchen/diner, where a range master stove commands the kitchen appliances, with a centre dining table offering delightful mealtime moments. Climb the beautiful oak staircase to the first floor and discover two attractive bedrooms, each with double beds and served by a contemporary shower room with sleek tiling and a walk-in shower enclosure. Get to know your surroundings better by venturing on a leisurely stroll through the village, home to a modest selection of amenities including a local pub, The Plough, and a convenience store, where you can pick up any essentials. Explore further and join the Trent Valley Way, a long-distance walking path which is perfect for those keen ramblers, with a wealth of wildlife to spot along the way and a charming scenery to admire. Just over eight mile away lies the town of Newark-on-Trent, where you can embrace the rich local history as you tour the imposing establishment of Newark Castle and Gardens, and wander the galleries of the local museum. The stunning minster town of Southwell is also worth a visit, home to an architectural jewel that is the Mister church, boasting some of the finest medieval stone carving in England. If you fancy a chance of scenery, visit the city of Lincoln where you can sample a range of excellent eateries and shopping facilities, along with some fabulous attractions such as the Victorian prison and castle and the Guildhall and Stonebow, an early 16th-century town building which forms an archway over the main High Street. The delights of Sherwood Forest are also waiting to be explored, home to a growing series of walks and trails, along with many seasonal events to suit all tastes. For a wonderful holiday to Nottinghamshire, consider Auld Cottage.

Norwell is a quaint village nestled in Nottinghamshire, around six miles from the historic town of Newark-on-Trent, or Newark as it's locally known. The village is home to a pub, The Plough, and a local village convenience store stocking all the essentials, perfect for a self-catered stay. Head to the town of Newark to see the castle and beautiful gardens, along with riverside strolls and Newark Showground hosting events throughout the year. Nearby Southwell is worth visiting for its minster, while other attractions include Sherwood Forest, Sundown Adventureland and the city of Lincoln.
