Lovely spot.
Lovely spot. If you want peace and quiet with views over an ancient Minster town look no further. Comfortable clean and lovely and warm. Contains everything you need for a great stay. Good local walks and not far from Southwell and Newark and within easy reach of the Peak District.The owners were very accommodating re the charging of our EV just asking us to pay for what we used at their tariff.Excellent, we are going again but to the Cowshed next time.
