The Old Shop at Savile House - A cosy cottage with a story to tell
Step back in time and unwind in this charming 18th-century holiday cottage, nestled in the heart of Old Ollerton Village on the edge of the legendary Sherwood Forest. With quirky character and cosy comforts throughout, it’s the perfect base for couples, families, or small groups exploring Nottinghamshire’s rich history and natural beauty.
The cottage offers three inviting bedrooms—one with a king-size bed and two with single beds—ideal for a peaceful night’s sleep after a day of adventure. The spacious, fully equipped kitchen includes everything you need to cook up a storm, complete with a dining table for relaxed family meals.
Unwind in the comfy living room with exposed beams and plenty of character, or soak in the bathroom’s full-size tub with an overhead shower for convenience. For little ones, a travel cot and a pocket highchair (easily attached to a dining chair) are provided.
Outside, a fully enclosed garden offers a safe, pet-friendly space to relax, dine, or play. With the quaint village of Old Ollerton on your doorstep and the mythical Sherwood Forest just minutes away, you'll be immersed in the legend of Robin Hood and surrounded by walking trails, attractions, and local charm.
