Cleanliness is consistently highlighted, with multiple guests describing the property as spotless, very clean, and the cleanest UK rental they've stayed in. Only one review mentioned a minor issue with the garden seating area, but this did not affect the interior cleanliness.

The cottage is described as well-equipped, with modern fixtures, a good shower, and everything needed for a short stay. Some minor issues were noted, such as pots and pans needing replacement, a dishwasher not working properly, and the garden seating area needing attention.

We had a wonderful 3 night stay at "The Snug" We were able to park on the road, at the front door of the property & it was a short walk into the town centre.This quaint property had everything that you could possibly need for a short or longer stay & it was very clean, with a comfortable bed & great shower. Welcome pack was much appreciated on our arrival too.We would definitely recommend staying at "The Snug" & would happily make a return visit to Southwell, with its great pubs, restaurants & very friendly locals.

The Snug was the perfect place to stay while we attended a wedding nearby. It was impeccably clean and had everything we needed, and more. It truly felt like a home away from home, with so much thought and care put into every detail. From the ironing board to all the little extras provided, nothing had been overlooked.We would highly recommend The Snug to anyone looking for a comfortable and welcoming stay. Thank you for such a lovely experience!
