  We had a wonderful weekend!

  I was the 'chief booker' so I asked my friends and family to tell me what they thought so I could give an accurate review and this is what they had to say:- "What a fantastic venue for our friends and family weekend. A most beautiful house and garden with everything we needed for a brilliant weekend; from super kitchen and dining facilities making it easy to cater for the 12 of us. The super hot tub was a great bonus and was enjoyed by us all. A weekend to remember thank you." "What a lovely property- fabulous for friends / family get together- spacious bedrooms, large living area, lovely and clean with everything you could need. Beautiful spacious garden- would highly recommend for a get together." "A superb rental property, ideally suited for large groups. Lots of space for everyone, so we never got in each other’s ways; extremely well equipped; delightful, extensive garden space. Cannot recommend highly enough." "Fabulous, large, well equipped house. The garden was simply amazing as was the hot tub." I booked this house because it was a central location for all of us and it looked to have plenty of room for 12 of us and it did not disappoint! There were plenty of bathrooms, plenty of little areas where people could go and chill out if they wanted to, and the big room at the back with the vaulted ceiling was fabulous - we spent most of our time in there. We loved the well-equipped kitchen - trying out cooking on the aga was great fun - we also enjoyed a takeaway that we had delivered on the Friday night. The garden was awesome. If you have got children and the weather is nice they will just LOVE it. As everyone else said, we also really enjoyed a dip in the hot tub - what a treat. Loads of space, lovely house and a great location just off the A1 but not that you would know it, it was so peaceful. Also very reassuring to know that the house manager was just across the road should we have needed him (which we didn't). There was plenty of parking for all of us, too. Highly recommended for a friends and family gathering."

  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.

  This must be one of the best lodges I have been to.

  We were altogether 3 families who stayed in this beautiful lodge, which is conveniently located in the heart of Grantham, Lincolnshire. There were14 of us in total, half adults half kids, but the house could accommodate more people…..that gives you a size of it’s magnitude! It is very child friendly with an outdoor play area comprising of a tree house with slide/swings and a huge trampoline. It has a massive pitch which can be used for football with good nets on each end. The hot tub is to die for….. powerful jets under a canopy which stops leaves/debris from going inside the tub. Inside the lodge is very spacious, you can decide whether to sit in the huge living room at the back or the more traditional front room with its soft furnishings and family feel/vibe. The dining table room had about 20 seats and it was lovely how everyone could sit down together to eat. The table tennis room was a big hit with the older kids who spent hours on end playing, i’me grateful they weren’t in front of a screen ! The lodge also included games and we loved playing family fortunes… some great questions

  Unfortunately we experienced no hot water or heating for a period of over 24 hours.

  Whilst the owner brought some plug in heaters, this didn’t really suffice for the whole experience, to keep us warm. Not that it was their direct fault, but to go without both hot water and heating for over 24 hours from 27/12 at 6am, this wasn't good enough. Our daughter who joined us each night, works in a critical care unit at a hospital, so having a shower each evening is critical. My husband and I both work in the hotel industry and this would not have been accepted. Negotiation would have taken place with regards to reviewing this, but after allowing a period of 3 weeks, nothing has come through, hence now writing the review. Otherwise, the house was very nice, the ‘open fire’ wasn’t a fire that could take logs etc, so a little misleading. There were some very basic utensils also missing in the kitchen, in order to make a basic meal

  Absolutely loved this place!

  Carvers Rest is such a fantastic place to stay to escape to, it’s surrounded by beautiful countryside but not too far from the lovely villages of Farnsfield and Southwell. Stunning interiors (pinched a few ideas for home!) with fabulous furnishings and super comfy beds. The kids loved running around the garden and saying hello to Bob the chicken who popped by. The owners are so lovely and helpful and we would definitely recommend visiting the Hills Pop Up Shop at the weekends for delicious meat, cakes and coffee, and The Rustic Crust in Farnsfield for great pizzas and cocktails! The perfect base for exploring Nottinghamshire- Sherwood Forest, GoApe, Clumber Park to make a few. We would love to return to Carvers Rest
