About this cottage rental

Charming Pet-Friendly Holiday Cottage in the Heart of Ollerton, on the Edge of Sherwood Forest

Step back in time and unwind in this enchanting, pet-friendly cottage, once the home of the UK’s last ropemaker. Nestled on the edge of the legendary Sherwood Forest, this retreat perfectly blends rustic charm with modern comforts.

Inside, you'll find beautiful wooden ceiling beams that create a cosy, authentic cottage atmosphere. The fully equipped kitchen is perfect for preparing hearty meals, which you can enjoy in the spacious dining room or the small, sunny conservatory. Curl up by the log burner after a day exploring the forest, or soak your cares away in the luxurious roll-top bath. For added convenience, there’s a separate shower and a handy utility room complete with a washing machine.

The cottage sleeps up to six guests across three comfortable bedrooms: a king-size bed, a double bed, and sturdy handmade single bunk beds that are solid enough for adults. Traveling with little ones? We’ve got you covered with a travel cot and highchair ready for use.

Outside, a secure garden provides a safe space for your pets to roam freely while you enjoy the BBQ area — perfect for relaxing al fresco meals surrounded by nature.

Whether you’re seeking a peaceful getaway or an adventure-filled holiday, this historic cottage offers the perfect base to relax and explore the magic of Sherwood Forest with your whole family, furry friends included.

My family and I had a really lovely stay here. We were a group of three adults, three children and a dog and the cottage provided ample space for all of us during our two night stay. The cottage was nicely decorated and furniture was comfortable and good quality. Everything was clean and well maintained and my nephews particularly enjoyed the stocked cupboards of board games! We really appreciated the high chair, children's dinnerware and toys too for our 18 month old niece staying here. The kids also enjoyed the short stroll to McDonald's for breakfast and the dog was very happy with the field down the road! We visited Sherwood Forest, Sherwood Pines and Rufford Abbey all within a 10 minute drive. We all really enjoyed our stay here and would happily be back. We actually had to coax our dog out of the cottage when it was time to leave, he didn't want to go at all! Only minor problem was we were sent two different codes to the gates to get in. We didn't realise this at first and the first code we tried contained in an email from Vrbo was incorrect and didn't work causing a slight panic when we arrived. Luckily, we did eventually get enough signal to get online and find the correct code.
