"Beautiful location, peaceful and ideal for visiting places of interest."
Plenty to do in the local area, National Trust properties/park land, Sherwood Forest, towns and much more. The property was furnished to a high standard and is well equipped. The decking area is a nice touch, enjoyed sitting there, lovely sunny position (all day) and ideal for watching the ducks, swans, etc,, on the pond or just sitting and reading. Would definitely recommend.

Debbie & Ashley left a very generous Welcome Pack, the cottage was absolutely lovely, and so peaceful. We couldn’t fault it. There are beautiful views all around, particularly the large pond in the garden, and a lovely patio where you can sit outside and enjoy watching the wildlife, although this can also be enjoyed from the cottage. We will definitely book it again.

Several people commented on the comfortable bed and we certainly found it so and slept very well. There was a fantastic welcome pack on arrival and the owner also popped round to make sure we had everything we needed. The view from the cottage window was an unexpected bonus, we overlooked the pond and it was delightful and very restful. The location is excellent, we were less than 30 minutes from a wide range of things to see and do as well as number of excellent places to eat or get a takeaway.

We will most definitely stay here again, it was perfect for all our needs.
We would like to make you aware that the directions were confusing - the cottage was named as Pond View but it is actually set within the grounds of Old Mill House. We arrived in the dark and the signage was not clear. Directions also said that the house would be found on the left as you drive down Old Mill Lane - the property is actually on the right. After driving round the block a few times we decided to go into Old Mill House to ask for directions and that is when we found Pond View!
