Comfort is generally rated highly, with mentions of cosy spaces and comfortable beds. However, some guests note issues with soft mattresses and seating, which suggests room for improvement in this area.

It was a nicely presented, cozy, cottage in a quiet village with all the facilities we needed. Wi-Fi was good for me to work during the day and the location was ideal for easy access to Nottingham and the surrounding area. There was a convenient allocated parking space about 20m away and the owners were helpful and responsive.

Lavender cottage had everything needed for an enjoyable stay. We enjoyed spending time sitting in the garden, and also the summer room. The location was perfect, lovely quiet countryside but lots to do in the local area. We would not hesitate to return
