Holiday Cottages in Nottinghamshire
Whatever the occasion we have an incredible house for you
Famously home to the legendary Robin Hood, Nottinghamshire is steeped in history. Whether you’re wandering through ancient woods or visiting grand stately homes, you’ll be drawn to the mystery and beauty of this gorgeous county. Take a trip into bustling Nottingham or tour one of the county’s quaint market towns to enjoy fine dining, shopping, the arts, sports and more.
At the end of each day, you can retire to a beautiful luxury cottage in Nottinghamshire from kate & tom’s to rest, revitalise and enjoy state-of-the-art facilities.
Visit Nottinghamshire for natural beauty, history & more
Neighbouring the natural beauty of counties like Lincolnshire and Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire will enchant you with its own gorgeous countryside – especially the centuries-old oaks of the famous Sherwood Forest, hiding place of the outlaw Robin Hood and his merry men. Traces of his legends are hidden in villages and spots throughout Nottinghamshire, too – like in the Church of St. Mary in Edwinstowe, where he and Maid Marian were reputedly married.
But there’s so much more about Nottinghamshire’s history and scenery to explore. You’ll see remnants of the English Civil War throughout the county, including in the beautiful Southwell Minster.
You also won’t want to miss visiting the Dukeries, the corner of Nottinghamshire where four grand ducal estates met to create a splendour of gardens and greenery. Here you’ll find the long lime tree avenue of Clumber Park, once named the most romantic location for a date within the East Midlands.
And, of course, Nottinghamshire boasts several homes of the Romantic poet Lord Byron, like the stunning Newstead Abbey. You can also visit his resting place, St Mary Magdalene’s Church in Hucknall, which is also the burial site of his daughter Ada Lovelace, a founder of computer programming.
Fantastic days out in Nottinghamshire
When you think of Nottinghamshire, sports might not be the first thing that comes to mind. But in fact, the county boasts a large number of sports facilities, like the National Watersports Centre at Holme Pierrepont Country Park. There’s more than just watersports here, too – kids will love the archery lessons, mini golf and more.
Don’t forget to stop in the centre of Nottingham to see its sights like Nottingham Castle and fascinating cave pubs where you can enjoy a beer in deep caves carved into the stone underground.
Although Nottingham rightly earns attention for its great attractions, there are lots of charming market towns to visit in Nottinghamshire too. For example, Newark boasts a ruined castle, an air museum, and the six antiques fairs held each year at the Newark Showground.
And If you’re travelling with under-10s, head to Sundown Adventureland, a top-rated theme park with age-appropriate rides and fun other things to do.
