The Old Ropery at Mill Cottage - Unwind where ropes once twined
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.
