The perfect haven for a country-loving couple and their pair of four-pawed companions, this pretty cottage sits among a small cluster of converted farm buildings. Located in the heart of the Idle River Valley, the retreat has been designed with accessibility in mind, with an open-plan living space, en-suite bedrooms, and a sunny patio. Step inside and you’ll find a comfortable living space with high ceilings, soft seating, a Smart TV, and a dining area. Adjacent, the kitchen is compact but well equipped, and there’s ample floor space for a pair of pets to stay close at heel as you cook, dine, and unwind. Settle them into their beds at night, then head off for your own – the traditionally furnished accommodation here has a king-sized bed with exposed beams above, plus the convenience of an en-suite wet room. Outside, your south-west-facing patio is a great place to enjoy the evening sun. Families are welcome, and all cottages have shared use of children’s play equipment and a games room housing a library, games consoles, table tennis, and a full-size snooker table. Ensuring your pets stay top priority, there’s an enclosed dog play area where they can dash around off the leash. Sniff out the miles of footpaths that pass through the picturesque countryside or venture 4 miles south to the Idle Valley Nature Reserve, where there are more than 900 acres of lakes, wetlands and grasslands to explore. Further on, Clumber Park (12 miles) is where the Clumber Spaniel breed was developed when the estate was home to the Dukes of Newcastle. Today, this National Trust property has 3,800 acres of parkland to enjoy, plus the dog-friendly Central Bark cafe, complete with dog bowls, toys, and even a warm water shower where paws can be washed after your walk.
