Lovely Cottage in Picturesque Setting

My family and I stayed in the Granary Cottage for 2 weeks. The cottage was spacious, clean and had all the necessary amenities. Any queries were answered promptly by Steve and instructions for checking in and out were very clear. Set in the grounds of Newstead Abbey, this is a beautiful place to stay. We would definitely recommend the Granary Cottage to friends and family. Thank you Steve and Carol.

Perfect Location

The property offers whatever you need. A great location provides a relaxing secluded getaway in exceptional historic parkland close to Newstead Abbey and at the same time a perfect location from which you can plan your visits to most parts of England and beyond. The hosts welcomed us and provided useful information regarding local attractions all in walking distance.

Granary Cottage on Newstead Abbey Estate

Spacious and comfortable accommodation , well supplied with bathrooms ( 2 very large baths). Immediate access to fields and woodland. 15 minute walk to the Newstead Abbey grounds with its gardens and lakes. In the evenings very peaceful surroundings as public access is restricted. We were there for one week only and so not time to explore the evening performances of plays at the Abbey. During the day the Abbey tea rooms serves very good coffee and my grandaughter was particularly taken with the 'Biscoff Dream' milkshakes and sitting reading a book in the shade by the lake near the waterfall.

Short stay at The Granary with friends

Lovely cottage on a beautiful estate as described. It had what we needed and was comfortable and clean. Perfect for a short break with friends. Newstead Abbey estate was beautiful complete with nice walks, lakes, a waterfall, cafe, oriental gardens and ducks, swans, horses and a donkey.

Lovely Flat on Grounds of Newstead Abbey

It's not that easy to find a nice rural retreat close to Nottingham, but this flat was perfect for both access to the city and returning to a calm oasis at night. The flat is very comfortable, and the bedrooms in particular (each with its own full bath with massive shower/tub!) are gorgeous. It was very nice to be insulated from the world outside by the park of Newstead Abbey. The kitchen was very well-equipped and easy to cook in. Communication with the owner about check-in was clear and easy. We had an excellent stay and highly recommend this listing.

A fabulous stay in a beautiful location

We stayed at Granary Cottage for our sons wedding at Newstead Abbey and couldn’t have found a better location or place to stay. Spacious rooms with amazing baths and lots of room for all the wedding preparations. Stephen and Carol were perfect hosts, on hand whenever we needed them and especially in helping us get to the Abbey on time!! We would love to come back in the future.

Great cottage with a lovely location and fabulous bathrooms

Really lovely cottage in the beautiful grounds of Newstead Abbey. It’s very peaceful, just the occasional clip clip of horses with nice pubs and a good range of walks nearby which all of us and the dog really enjoyed. The welcome crumble and fabulous en-suite were a great bonus and Steve was really helpful.
