• "Spotlessly clean, comfortable, warm and cosy."

  Great location with short walk to village Co-op and amenities. Very relaxing and quiet cottage with lovely views all round. Especially enjoyed watching horses, sheep and resident emu just over the river. Have already booked for next year. Only slight negative is lack of off-road parking.

• "Mill Cottage is a real gem."

  The reverse layout works really well, although the stairs to living area are quite steep. Once upstairs the views across livery are superb, and as we had a few days of rain we spent a lot of time watching the horses, sheep and emu. The cottage was extremely clean and the beds and pillows very comfortable. Location is good for visits to Nottinghamshire attractions and also easy reach of Derbyshire peaks. Newark Saturday Market is well worth a visit. Only downside was on road parking, which is stated in the cottage online details.

• "A wonderful property in a fabulous location."

  The house was spotlessly clean and was well equipped with everything we needed. Beds were warm and comfy. It is a short walk into Edwinstowe which is a lovely little village with a small co-op and lots of independent shops. Special mention to Fables coffee shop who were very clued in to gluten free eating. A 15 minute walk took us to Sherwood Forest and its visitor centre where we enjoyed some lovely walks. We really enjoyed our holiday, thank you

• "Off all the Sykes cottages we have stayed at this was by far one of the best."

  Clean throughout and every need thought of. The garden was well kept and the river beautiful with the added sighting of the king fisher topped it . The living room upstairs was a great idea especially with the views to the paddocks and beyond. The beds were really comfortable and the short walk to the town was delightful . Fables the coffee shop is a recommended stop for a great coffee! Will be booking again , absolutely loved it !!

• "Mil Cottage is everything you could want for a relaxing getaway."

  The cottage itself made us feel relaxed as soon as we got there. It is immaculately presented, with so much attention to detail, not only for practicality, but the furnishings and decor are second to none. Only a short walk is a lovely village high street, with lots of places to eat & drink. Would definitely recommend Fables coffee shop! Lots of walks in the area, with maps and suggestions of places to visit provided in Mill Cottage. My only negative comment would be that we couldn't stay longer!

• "Our stay at Mill Cottage was very enjoyable."

  Very well thought out plan of arrangements of living and sleeping areas. Living area was upstairs, which gave better views from the double aspect windows, of the horses, goats, sheep and the one and only Emu, everyday and then the sunset at night over the fields. The Cottage was well equipped, with everything you could possibly need, quite the best cottage, we have stayed in. Lyn left a Welcome basket, which was so appreciated. This cottage felt like a home with all we needed for a week away, even a comfortable bed. We hope to return. We would definitely recommend Mill Cottage to stay in, well positioned to visit Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. Linda&Alan Deal Kent

• "This is a beautiful property."

  Despite the best efforts of Storm Babet, we remained high and dry (just), properties in the village did not fair so well. The property was very well appointed, with a lovely kitchen overlooking the river and the fields beyond. The place was spotless, and the owners were very responsive to any communications. This is a great location for accessing Sherwood Forest and beyond, with the Peaks only being a short drive away. Cycling on and off road was excellent too. Recommended!

• "No word of a lie, I have stayed in around 30 holiday rentals - this one was pretty much perfect."

  Not one thing I needed during my stay wasn't provided. The bed alone has made me realise how much I need a new bed at home - was SO comfortable! Sitting by the river with a drink was excellent whether it was sunny or wet. Shops, food and two (very different) pubs within 5 mins walk. If I could live here I would.

• "We have had a fabulous time at Mill Cottage."

  It is a beautiful comfortable home. This was one of the best equipped cottages we have stayed in, usually we pack our own home utensils, hand soap etc but the cottage had everything. The welcome basket was a lovely surprise, not many cottages do this anymore. Very close to the village of Edwinstowe so easy to stroll in to the village. Bith our children were crying when we had to leave they loved it so much. We are already looking to return next year for a holiday.

• "Visited Mill cottage for the second time in two months."

  This time to walk the area with family. Cottage was spotlessly clean, well stocked and very comfortable. My sister spent a great deal of time watching the horse, emu and the sheep from the lounge window. A great view thanks to it being an upside down property. Lyn and Steve (the Owners) have a real gem in the middle of Robin Hood country. We’ll worth a visit.

• "Extremely clean, immaculate, comfortable, well equipped cottage."

  My daughter and I had a most enjoyable weekend break. Perfectly situated for exploring the area. So peaceful and relaxing just sitting looking out from the lounge to the river and fields beyond. Saw the emu many times but sadly not the kingfisher. However we did have regular visits from a large group of ducks.

  Ideal for visiting National Trust properties and other locations within a reasonable area. The property owners seemed to have thought of everything and more. We only had one really wet day, which was Sunday 5th., but we were able to make good use of the many books, dvds and games thoughtfully provided by the owners.

• "Absolutely lovely cottage!"

  Well appointed and designed. Upside- down house layout to make the most of the beautiful country and river views. Unfortunately, we did not have enough time to sit, on the patio, by the river, but the owners have created a lovely outside space, that can be enjoyed. Mill cottage is on the edge of the village of Edwinstowe. It is an easy walk in to the village, which has a variety of pubs, restaurants, and shops. We found that parking on the lane was no issue for us. The lane was relatively quiet and we managed to park 3 vehicles, without any problem. The communication from the host was amazing. Thank you for a great stay!

• "Really lovely holiday house, very clean and well equipped with a very countryside feel although the village centre is only 10 min walk away."

  Patio by the river is amazingly calm! Also there’s so much to do within a few miles: Sherwood Pines, Rufford Abbey, Clumber Park, Sherwood Forest visitor centre, Sherwood Forest steam railway are all a short drive (or in some cases a short walk/cycle) away. As a family of four we had a great time and definitely wish we’d stayed for two weeks instead of one; north Notts is a thoroughly under-rated part of the country and this is a fantastic place to enjoy it from.

  it is equipped with so much more than you need. We enjoyed the upsidedown house as it was cooler downstairs for sleeping in the big heatwave we had but also it made great use of the fabulous views of the stream, garden, fields and animals from the living room upstairs. Our son particularly enjoyed the stream where there were lots of fish. The garden is also amazing with a west facing outlook, and lovely shaded area to enjoy the views and alfresco dining. There is a street of independent shops and cafes, and a COOP 5 mins walk away, Sherwood forest is about 10 mins walk so the cottage is in a great position too. All in all a fab relaxing holiday. Owner is there on the other end of the phone if you need them. Perfect. Thank you.
