The Old Ropery at Mill Cottage is a cosy, historic retreat in the heart of Old Ollerton, on the edge of Sherwood Forest, perfect for couples, families, dog walkers, and cyclists.
Built in the 1700s, this sympathetically renovated cottage retains its historic charm, with exposed beams and some low doorways (so watch your head!). Once linked to the Buckingham family, the last rope-makers in the UK, it offers a truly memorable stay.
Enjoy a log burner for cosy nights, a roll-top bath and separate shower, and a secure garden with keycode entry. The boot room and utility area are ideal for muddy paws and boots after woodland walks.
