The cottage was lovely, spacious and quiet.
We were given good directions and it was in a great location for accessing central Nottingham. The cottage was nice and clean, and the showers were lovely and hot.
The kitchen could have done with a few more utensils.

This isn't the first time I have stayed here
I have used this property several times in the past for both business and leisure
I really enjoy the location
The set up of the property and modern/homely look and feel the property has
As crazy as it sounds but the property is always clean and I have stayed in some places where you can still visibly see mess left by previous guests
I think that the level of communication from the host is top tier, friendly and welcoming
I have nothing negative to say, I will be back

This property is for only 4 people to stay in,not 6 as advertised.The so called sofa bed is 4ft,hardly for 1 person & impossible to even sit comfortably on,let alone sleeping
Anyone in there correct senses will never book this property.Please take this from my personal experience of 2 nights in this property.
1)There is no light whatsoever in the Alley way,next to cemetary and also on entrance of the house.The sign post 'Five Acres'is not clear at all.Anyone travelling after dark will go round and round in circles.The route indications later provided via app are still not clear.
2)There is no corridor light working.Entering the house with luggage is huge struggle after dark.
3)The property is only for 4 people,not 6.The sofa bed is unbearable to even sit on,let alone sleeping.
4)From Pillows to Duvet to whole beddings,everything is torn,worn out & does not provide a standard night sleep.
5)Do not trust the photos,there is no straight access to Garden,one has to fully walk up the ramp of entrance,take a left turn & walk through a whole alley way reach garden.There is no outdoor furniture during winter as shown in images.Hideous conditions around the house with muddy puddles,uneven floor in quite a few places inside the house too.And I was told by owner not to go outside in garden,as it is dangerous.
6)If someone is looking for a good shower after or before a tiring day-it is impossible.Both Shower heads need changing & water booster required badly.there is no water pressure whatsoever in both walk-in showers.
7)Both Mattresses of 2 single beds need changing instantly,as springs are easily fell when lied down.
8)Every cottage always has spare beddings like Duvet,Pillows etc.This did not have any.The Duvet provided to use on sofa bed was fully torn,folded inside a single duvet cover.
9)Towels provided were old & unclean.
10)Beddings had stains on them.
11)WiFi signal only works after every 1.5-2mins.There is no constant signal.
12)The owner of the property is extremely Disappointing,not co-operative at all.When i called to ask about extremely uncomfortable sofabed,she denied helping or arranging for anything.

We were very disappointed with this property. On arrival the carpets were still wet from being washed that day, leaving the whole house damp. There was a strong foul smell throughout, especially in the bathrooms, and the bedding smelt of mould. The property had no fire alarm at all, uneven floors and broken mats that were a trip hazard, and the heating did not work despite being advertised.
Basic necessities such as hand soap, washing-up liquid and toilet paper were not provided. The walls were stained, and the property was overall poorly maintained. Several features were falsely advertised – there were no hammocks, no usable firepit (and no information given that we would have to supply our own wood), and no working fireplace.
We were travelling with two children. If it had been possible to move, we would have left immediately, but we had no choice but to stay the duration. The conditions were uncomfortable, unsafe, and not as described.
I would not recommend this property to anyone until serious improvements are made to cleanliness, safety, and honesty in advertising.

I have stayed here a few times now and I think that this property is perfect for when you want to get away and experience a bit of peace
I liked the surroundings (two acres of my land to myself)
I like the private drive path to the property and the overall layout inside
That I couldn't stay longer

The bedrooms were spacious
The garden was unkempt and the furniture was mismatched and linens poor quality. It seemed a little tired.

Comfortable and clean. Good location. Quiet and peaceful
Very small double bed with a tired mattress. The back bedroom with the twins would be better if they were joined. The ensuite there is great
No other problems.

I absolutely loved the property
Every part of it felt like home away from home, and the value price wise was amazing
It felt the owner had really tired to make the place a home for those people that come to stay
It had everything you could want/need
And it was local to the town centre and other shops yet still in a location that gave the peace I was in need of
Definitely recommending
And 100% coming back
Thank you very much for having me

Property is in dire need of refurbishment and redecoration. Cleanliness is poor dust and cobwebs everywhere and a horrible musty smell.
Kitchen kettle was disgusting full of limescale had to use a saucepan during our five day stay to have a simple cup of tea! Lack of essential crockery. Only had two small drinking glasses, we had to use latte cups to drink water. Mismatch of dinner set. No blinds in the kitchen which exposed you to the constant mess of the back garden. Kitchen needed a deep clean before we could even use it. The main bedroom had a hole in the wall with an attempt to cover it with a strip of wallpaper. Uneven floors and again musty smell not aired out. Bedding was very worn out. Surfaces dusty. Property from the outside just looked a mess. Attempted to contact owner for netflix issues no response for three days, so wasn't able to use as advertised.

Was clean and comfortable. Out side looked lovely and would have loved to of sat outside but couldn't due to the rain.
Very nice place. I would definitely recommend.
There are only a few things to mention.
1, There weren't enough plates for 6 people who stayed. Only 4 plates were available.
2, There were only 3 pillows for the double bed.
3, the larger bathroom light was on a sensor, so it would go out if you were on the toilet or in the shower.

The property was clean and had everything you need to enjoy your stay.
There was a couple of things we didn’t like about our stay. Myself and partner probably had 2 of the worst nights sleep we think we’ve ever had, the bed was very very uncomfortable I would definitely suggest replacing it.
also, the bungalow is basically partitioned and the owners live on the other side of the wall they were very loud and every word can be heard as if they they are in the same room as you.
The garden that can be used for people staying is very messy and dirty we had one look and didn’t use it.
8.0 / 10.0
Having lots of space. Two en-suites and handy bus service. Privacy and rural outlook, trees and garden.
The bungalow is shared and I could here people talking. Lack of knives and chopping board. Too far to be able to walk to a restaurant or a pub.

Spacious two double rooms with ensuites. Good Kitchen area and large living room. Close to shops, good parking. All round was brilliant for what we needed and the host was very helpful. Biggest compliment I could give was I'd use again with my family.

Property was ok, but needed finishing, especially in the Main Bedroom with the floor of different height! Clean and tidy but nothing that made it stand out.

I had a lovely time staying at Five Acres Cottage for a week. I highly recommend a stay there. It's well situated with many things within easy reach. It is a 15 min walk or a 5 min drive to Bulwell shop & tram stop, which would give you good access to Nottingham City centre and surrounding areas.
The cottage was quaint very spacious and peaceful. It is very well equiped, you can cook a nice meal after a long day of walking and then relax in the lounge in front of the TV before bed.
The owner of the cottage was very nice and very accommodating. Always on hand if you had a query or needed anything. Will definitely book again next year.

We felt really at home here at Five Acres. Plenty of space for the 3 of us. Comfy beds and sofa, great TV with Prime and Netflix.
Everything you need in the kitchen including dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid, tea and coffee. We have booked again for Feb, cant wait to come back.
No complaints.
