Corner House Cottage

Sykes advised that check in was 3:00pm, but on arrival at the property at 3:10pm we found a car parked in the parking space and the cleaner still in the property.

We had to wait 40 minutes until he left. He told us that the check in time had been changed to 16:00, but Sykes had not updated this information. I’m not sure that this is true. This was our second time at this property and a couple of things to note. The key to the front door was very difficult to remove once you open the door. There was no welcome pack this time. The was not even one toilet roll in the bathroom, something other properties do have. The liquid soap bottles in the kitchen and bathroom were virtually empty. Small things maybe, but other properties do provide these things for your arrival. Otherwise we did enjoy our stay.

A well presented and equipped cottage / house in a lovely part of the country with everything we needed.

Unfortunately the owner was not expecting us and was surprised to see us in the property. Consequently there was no welcome pack and the preparation of the property was lacking (on going repairs). Crockery, cooking utensils and baking trays were not clean. We had the dishwasher on constantly for the first 24 hours. My wife felt the bedding and towels smelled fusty as if they had not been dried and aired properly before being laid out or had been laid out for some time. All that being said we would certainly consider the property if we were ever in the area again

Very well-appointed property and very comfortable, in a lovely setting.

As a previous reviewer mentioned, it would be helpful to have more detail about the stairs before booking, although I appreciate they can't be avoided. A downstairs toilet would also make this less of an issue.

Very enjoyable family stay.

Welcome pack much appreciated. Close to really good pub

We were visiting from Canada and found it a wonderful base for our trip.

It was very clean, well stocked, very cosy and comfortable and soon felt like home. We will definitely be back!

This was a lovely cottage.

The only drawback was the stairs , this was not mentioned on the listing. Only noticed on arrival, this was difficult for me as I have accessibility issues. Beautiful surroundings nearby. Great great places to visit

We really enjoyed our stay at Corner House Cottage.

It was central for visiting a number of National Trust properties, and we particularly enjoyed our visit to the National Arboretum. Our only disappointment was that the oven did not work properly (which the owner informed us about on our arrival), so we ate out more than we were intending.

The cottage was clean and comfortable.

We only missed a standing lamp for reading in the lounge (essential) and a butter dish (less essential but handy). Fantastic shower! There was a slight problem with the instructions we received from Sykes as they stated the wrong house number (10 instead of 2). We can certainly recommend the cottage!

Had a great stay here, kids really enjoyed it.

House was nice and clean and comfy. Lovely location. Was a great break for us and will definitely recommend to anyone needing a relaxing break. Thanks for a lovely stay xx

What a great cottage - Very well equipped and furnished, very clean, handy welcome pack.

The small village is off the beaten track but it is so easy to get to so many interesting places. We had a great time here, the pub next door is also great very friendly with excellent food. I would recommend this cottage to anybody.

A knife sharpener would be good but fantastic stay.

Highly recommended.

A beautiful, tastefully decorated cottage in a picturesque part of the country, perfect for a getaway from the city, and for staging hikes / explorations of the local area and into Peak District.

The mattresses on the single beds were very thin and uncomfortable.

Overall very clean but we found food left in the kitchen cupboards from previous guests and mouldy bread in the bread bin. That said, we enjoyed our stay in this lovely warm cottage, great walks from the door and good pub next door, would definitely stay again, thank you

Really enjoyed the stay in your delightful cottage, and it was great to see the photos of the renovation work!

Mapperley is in a great location for exploring too, so would very highly recommend it to anyone looking for a few days of peace and relaxation!

Delightful cottage.

High standard of decor and very comfortable.

A beautiful cottage with miles and miles of scenic walks.

The cottage was fabulous very quiet and everything you needed for a great holiday Thankyou

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Corner House Cottage.

It is equipped with everything you need throughout your stay. The cottage is cozy and meticulously clean and the owners are incredibly kind with their welcome package. If you are ever lucky enough to stay at Corner House take a look at the renovation photos, credit to the owners who have had the nerve and creativity to bring this little gem into the 21st century.

A lovely modern cottage decorated to a very high standard.

Location to Village pub is a bonus absolutely no noise from patrons. Had to contact owner (minor detail)and response was instant. Truly tranquil surroundings and lovely area to use as a base. One of the best cottages we have stayed at and would highly recommend and use again

My wife and I had a lovely stay at corner cottage would definitely stay again

Corner House cottage is beautifully decorated with stylish details.

Furnished with a practical well equipped kitchen. Set in lovely Mapperley village. It was interesting that the development of the cottage by the owner was there for anyone interested in it's history. Excellent parking next to the cottage. Mapperley resevoir a short walk away. The Nutbrook Coffee Shop, which has attractive outdoor tables is a 30 minute walk from the resevoir.

Fantastic cottage, beautifully presented with all that you need for a comfortable stay.

Quiet location with good parking. Highly recommend.

Beautiful and tastefully restored cottage, and equipped to a high standard.

Superb shower facilities as well. Having its own private off road parking area, for two cars was a big plus, as village parking was at a premium. Being adjoined to The Black Horse public house raised no issues, but will say the food and service there was excellent. Well placed for great walks, to the nearby reservoir, and a short drive to the park and ride tramway. We will go back.

Delighted to have stayed here, absolutely amazing cottage.

Would recommend this holiday let any day of the week.. truly amazing. Thank you.

A lovely comfortable house, convenient for exploring the area.

Lovely home with a fully equiped kitchen, this was ideal for a small family with young children

Lovely well equipped cottage.

We have stayed in many UK holiday homes and this has definitely been the best equipped one of the lot. We are a young family so we do have a lot of meals at home and very rarely do they have everything we need apart from this one. Really lovely airy space and really comfortable. Excellent having the lean to for the bikes, made our lives so much easier! Great location and lots of things to do locally as well as just on the cusp of the national park.

Cosy cottage, good amenities.

Lovely welcome pack of bread and biscuits.

We had a lovely stay at Corner Cottage!

The first key things you want in a holiday cottage are a comfy bed and a good shower - big ticks on both counts! Really spacious and nice touches everywhere. We didn't really cook as we were visiting family but the kitchen is fantastic and definitely a place well equipped to cook whatever you need. Parking and check in were easy. Had a lovely stay and will be back!

It was such a lovely cottage in a great location.

The specification was great and it was really nicely maintained.

Cottage very well equipped and clean.

Excellent location near to walks and cycling routes.Pub next door with good food. Overall a wonderful stay

Great stay.

Would go back again. It was very relaxing and so close to the Mapperley Reservoir.

Fantastic stay in modern refurbished cottage.

Owner Andy was very helpful and approachable. Ideal base for walking and cycling. Easy access to Mapperley Reservoir and Shipley Country Park with it’s lovely meadow walks. Good food close by at the Old Black Horse and Newdigate Arms pubs. Also easy and cheap parking at Ilkeston railway station for a short trip into Nottingham city centre. I highly recommend this cottage.

Corner House Cottage is immaculate!

It is located in the beautiful village of Mapperley and is surrounded by beautiful countryside, with Shipley Park on it's doorstep for lovely walks and cycles. We had a wonderful stay and will definitely be booking again

The cottage was a fabulous place to stay.

There was a welcome pack on arrival (Coffee, tea, sugar, biscuits, bread and milk), the owners exceeded our expectations. A wonderful touch and it was very appreciated. The cottage was well stocked with everything we needed and was furnished to a very high standard. Andrew, the owner, was very helpful and gave advice on the area. We always find showers in holiday cottages a bit of a let down compared to the one we have at home but the owners hadn’t skimped on their choice of shower, it certainly matched the one we have at home in both power and space. If you like to be connected to the internet you won’t be disappointed staying here. The TV is run through the internet therefore you have a good choice of channels and whilst we were there we never lost connection on our iPads/computer. This cottage is situated in a lovely area suitable for walkers (I was more than happy), golfers (my husband was spoilt for choice) and a treasure trove of places to visit. There is only one thing I would point out, if you have a problem getting up stairs this cottage may not be for you. This is an old building, beautifully refurbished, however the staircase is not to today’s requirement, it is a little steeper than modern staircases, there is nothing the owners could do to rectify this. Having said that I would highly recommend this cottage and will hopefully return.

Loved this Cottage.

Was ideal for our purposes. Newly refurbished with excellent facilities. Bathroom a dream, kitchen equipped extensively - you really can walk in and cook! The Cottage was immaculate throughout. The little Hamlet is great with very friendly people. The owners are excellent and really want you to enjoy yourself. Truly lovely. Would recommend.
