  We had a wonderful stay at Shepard's Cottage. When we arrived there was a little bundle of gifts for us (wine, chocolate, treats for the dog), which we thought was a lovely touch and was really appreciated. The cottage itself is spacious, well decorated and has comfortable furniture. Freshly cut flowers in every room. Enough room and beds for two couples and two kids, if needed. It's generally a lovely place to spend time relaxing. The cottage is detached and the grounds are spacious, so it was nice and cool despite the hot weather because we were able to create a through-breeze with the windows. It backs onto a couple of fields to walk the dog in. Some of the grass was mown, some left to grow wild, and our cockapoo loved bounding around in the long grass. The owner provided a map to walk to a nearby lake, which was a nice touch because we'd never have known it was there otherwise. The hot tub is great - it's heated by a wood burner and stays toasty warm for hours. Logs, fire starters, kindling and instructions were provided and after a bit of troubleshooting we found it easy to use. Be mindful that the owner's dogs sometimes appears around the cottage, which freaked our dog out at first, but they're very calm and friendly so it was not a problem. Owner was communicative and always reachable. Loved pretty much everything about the place.

  Myself my wife,stepson and our family dog pip stayed at bowler yard cottage monday to friday.

  we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and couldn’t wish for better comfort. The owners live near by and told us that anything we needed just ask,but we had everything we could possibly need in the property and they never intruded and left us to enjoy our break. There was a complimentary bowl of assorted fruit on arival and a beautiful vase of fresh flowers.We had a few days out with local attractions which is close by. Its in a quiet area which is very relaxing but there are shops bars and restaurants not too far away. We had the best 4 nights sleep we have had in avery long time as the beds were so comfortable. There are always good walks for people with their dogs. We will certainly be returning again in the future and have recomended it to our friends and family. Kind regards Mr & mrs jason fairfield

  We had a fabulous week in Norwell.

  The cottage is exceptional and perfect for 2. The kitchen was equipped with almost everything you needed for a week's holiday (though serious cooks should perhaps take a couple more sharp knives). We mostly ate in and enjoyed using the large range cooker. The sofa is large and the garden is a little sun-trap. Yes, the shower room is small but it's of very high quality finish and my partner who is 6ft 5" didn't have an issue. We used the cottage as a base to explore Newark (lovely little town), Southwell and Sherwood Forest. Would very highly recommend a visit to the National Holocaust Centre about 15 mins away. Some absolutely gorgeous pubs in surrounding villages and we ate one night at the local which was hearty fare! For a really outstanding Italian meal go to The Carpenter's Arms at Walesby. We loved this cottage and whole area and we'll definitely be back!

  Quirky little cottage in a great area.

  Was a little chilly late afternoon with no instructions to alter the heating, having said that once the oven was on for our dinner it soon warmed the place up making it a lot more cozy. Lots of info on things to see and do in the area and with off road parking we didn’t have to worry about lugging cases up streets. Great for 2 people or 2 adults and a child ( I went with my mum) but think it would be too small for 4 adults as sofa was only big enough for 3 adults max meaning fourth adult would have to be on a kitchen chair. If going to the area again with my mum or partner I would definitely book this again but if going with my partner and another couple I would probably look for something with a bit more space. Clean and tidy with everything you need. Would definitely recommend to others looking to stay in this area.

  As a family of four Australians, we loved this cottage stay on the vineyard!

  It was a home away from home, and being greeted with fresh fruit, flowers, coffee and biscuits was a superb touch. We didn’t need anything; all of the basics were provided including dishwasher tablets, washing machine detergent, hand soap, all of the little thoughtful things that you need when you are away from home. The house was warm and cosy in the middle of winter and the kitchen was a dream to cook in; and it was very private. Even including lovely tea pots! And the bed and linen were incredibly comfortable and lovely quality after having stayed in other short stays as part of our UK trip where the sheets were awful and cheap! Very happy with our stay, wouldn’t change it for the world! Looking forward to our next visit! Thanks Bowler Yard for making part of our Christmas holiday stay wonderful and warm!
