Woodview holiday cottages

Two 4*self-catering country cottages available to rent in Nottingham, UK

Woodview holiday cottages in Nottingham, offers two idyllic stone cottages that nestle in the centre of a working arable farm surrounded by beautiful gardens and stunning views of the farm's own patchwork of fields and woodlands.

The accommodation is immaculate throughout and kept to very a high standard by the owners. Each self catering cottage comprises a living/dining-room with wood-burning stove, exposed beam trusses and modern fitted kitchen area. There are two bedrooms with exposed stone work; one double and one twin accommodating up to 4 people. Bathroom/W.C. with shower cubicle. You can view internal photos on our cottages pages.

Owthorpe itself lies on the edge of the Vale of Belvoir, a verdant landscape offering all manner of outdoor activities, and serving as a great base for visiting the attractions in the neighbouring three counties.
