About this cottage rental

Stay in our Gardener’s Cottage at Newstead Abbey and you’ll be walking in the footsteps of the classical romantic Poet, Byron and enjoying the same stunning park vistas and surrounding countryside that truly inspired him.

Built in the 1860s by the Webb family, the Gardener’s Cottage is situated in heart of the Abbey grounds and is just a few minutes’ walk from many of the parks’ unique features, including the Abbey, Byron’s own Fort and stunning lakes.

Nestled amongst mature trees and shrubs and overlooking the original Rose Garden, this charming Grade II listed building has been sensitively restored to a very high standard, whilst still retaining some of the building’s original features, including wooden floorboards, floor tiles and beautiful stone mullion windows. The interior design has been influenced by rooms in the House and Abbey, which are also well worth a visit during your stay.

The cottage sleeps up to 4 people and has two bedrooms, one with a kingsize bed and the other with two single beds. Off the landing there is a family bathroom with bath and separate “drench” shower cubicle.

Downstairs is a fully equipped kitchen with all modern amenities with a utility room housing a washer/dryer, along with a comfortable lounge and separate dining room. Accessed from the kitchen is your very own private walled courtyard, just perfect for an alfresco breakfast or relaxing with a glass of wine after a busy day sightseeing.

The cottage is available for week long, weekend and mid-week breaks and is perfect for exploring the wealth of history and culture that the Robin Hood’s county has to offer and is also available to hire for pre and post ceremony accommodation for our happy couples who marry at the Abbey.

We accept a minimum of 3 night stay bookings.

One of Nottinghamshires best kept secret.

as a fan of one Lord Byron I was excited to stay here. the staff at the museum and the surrounding neighbors were so helpful, and thank goodness for that! as someone who came by cab and unfortunately arrived later than planned because both trains I took to get there arrived late - finding the keys after a 20 minute walk from the front gate to the Abbey was nearly impossible! first of all the check-in instructions have no code for the main gate in order to access the grounds. So it is impossible to access the cottage itself, I was literally told by neighbors to jump the gate! Thankfully, the warden Tracy, was around and was able to help me, and I didn’t have to jump anything. However, the instructions to getting the keys from the lockbox are near impossible to understand. I would ask the people in charge of this listing to be more specific and not just say “parking area.” when it comes to finding the lockbox – as there are exactly 3 different parking lots. Simply saying something along the lines of the parking area at the cottage would’ve cleared up things immeasurably. Instead, I was left wandering around with my suitcase in the blazing heat.If it wasn’t for the friendly neighbors, I would’ve ended up sleeping under an oak tree. I would also suggest giving anyone who rents this cottage not just the key code, but also the code to opening the gate. I cannot imagine what would happen! besides that, I had a wonderful time! and kudos to the staff being so lovely and helpful.

The cottage is delightful. No problems with the kitchen, bedrooms, heating, access or TV. It would be hard to find a more beautiful setting enclosed amongst the trees, surrounded by parkland and gardens that are yours alone after 5 pm

Newstead Abbey is beautiful. Instructions to get to the property were very confusing, sent different directions to bridal party. The mould in fridge door (cleaned myself) and dust didnt put us off from having a really special few days celebrating our wedding

Tempted not to leave a review, as this place was so lovely I'd quite like to keep it to myself. Isolated deep inside the wonderful Newstead Abbey grounds, it was utterly fabulous. The listing doesn't do it justice. There were only two of us, with the rest of the family visiting one day, but you could easily have a family of four. Very well equipped, and with the lovely enclosed patio which is quite the sun trap, and with a bbq. Great to have the separate living room and dining room. Everything worked seamlessly. We had a long weekend and had wondered about visiting Sherwood Forest or Papplewick Pumping Station, but in the end we never left the grounds!
