"Perfect, luxury accommodation. Will most certainly return to this venue"
"We had really great luxury accommodation at Notts Cottage. Every thing that we could possibly need was supplied (except food obviously) The hosts were very pleasant and they made certain that we had a comfortable stay ."
"Thanks to Notts Cottage - we had everything we needed for our 2 night stay, and would have been more than comfortable for a much longer stay too. Uninterrupted views, spacious rooms, close to Meander stops we were very happy there. Everything was thought of and would love to go back and stay again."
"What a incredible hidden gem. My husband and I had a wonderful stay. The cottage is beautiful, stunningly put together with a lovely view of the Midlands. Close to restaurants and meander tinkering.Ivan is a wonderful host.All we can say is that our stay was too short! We will be back!"
"Die netjieste plek waar ek al gebly het.<div>Baie skoon. Goed toegerus. Vriendelikke eienaar.</div><div>Sal verseker werr hier gaan bly.</div>"
"Had a wonderful Easter weekend in the most divine cottage. Beautifully decorated and attention to detail is amazing. Views are fantastic and location is perfect. Will definitely be staying there again - wish it was next weekend!!!!"
"Great place to stay. The pictures do not do justice as to how beautiful Notts cottage is. Peaceful and quiet. Heaters in all rooms. Definitely one the best places I've stayed at and with The Chocalate heaven Factory and Cheese Shop not too far away."
"We had a wonderful stay at Notts Cottage. The accommodations were superb and comfort was as advertised. We only met Ivan (our gracious host) on our stay and he was most helpful and obliging. The only negative (but not the end of the world) was that the unit was not serviced. Definitely the Midlands best kept secret! Dave"
"We loved our stay at Notts Cottage. The place is beautiful, spacious, has everything you need and the views are spectacular. Attention to detail is evident the moment you enter the estate gates. We will most most definitelygo back and hopefully stay longer than 3 nights. Missing Notts cottage already all the way Swaziland."
"I hesitate to write this review. If this cottage got all the recognition and clientele it deserves, there would be a two-year waiting list and we might not be able to get in again next year. On the other hand, this review may ensure the survival of the cottage as a business and thus make it possible for us to return next year!<div><br /></div><div>What you get: Space. the rooms are huge, and extremely well furnished in impeccable style. Everything you even think you might need is there, just bring food.</div><div><br /></div><div>Then you look outside and there is the view. I could happily just forget about the rest of the Meander and just sit there and drink in that view. I feel sorry for people who live there. Where can they possibly go for a holiday?<br /><div><br /></div></div><div>The Midlands meander is likely to become an annual event for my family. We see no reason to look further than Notts Cottage for our accommodation.</div>"
"What a wonderful and very comfortable place to stay, stunning view to wake up to in the morning!"
"What a lovely cottage! I was hesitant at first when I saw that the cottage was attached to a house within an estate and not free-standing, but it was not a problem as neighbours were quiet and we felt like we had the privacy we wanted. It was lovely waking up and hearing the cows mooing in the field nearby. The cottage itself was beautiful and modern on the inside with all the appliances and comforts that you would need or want. The heated towel rails were luxurious! I would definitely stay here again if I was in the area."
"We had the most wonderful break at Notts Cottage - we could not fault it at all. It had everything we needed - and more. Nice and spacious, clean and tidy, comfortable and homely, lovely garden and really just perfect!! We'd definitely like to return.Thank you"

This venue allowed us to take a moment and breath, just what we were looking for.Thank you Ivan and Avril."
"Very clean, comfortable and well appointed cottage. Will definitely stay there again. I am a regular to the midlands and you will be a struggle to find better value for money on the meander."
"We spent one night at the cottage, arriving late in the afternoon Ivan had switched the heaters on earlier for us to arrive in comfort. Spacious and well equipped, I couldn't imagine anyone needing or wanting anything that this cottage doesn't have."

"What a wonderful stay! Avril and Ivan are so lovely and the accommodation was fantastic. Have already recommended it."
"A beautiful home away from home from the moment you drive in, the quaint gardens, the clean, beautifully decorated "home" the hosts... worth every cent, loved our short weekend away! The small touches (like having coke, water, wine etc + shampoo and conditioner, shower gel, rusks, milk, coffee etc - all showed extra effort) would love to come back! Thanks so much!"
"My husband and I recently spent 4 nights at Notts Cottage and wish we had stayed much longer. This place is so comfortable you actually don’t want to go out! The elegant, modern décor reflects the superb taste of the owners; everything you could possibly require, plus your own garage and private garden together with outstanding views from the huge windows. Thank you."

"We stayed at Notts Cottage for 2 nights and wished our stay was longer! The cottage has all one could wish for, it is beautifully furnished and has a modern kitchen with dishwasher which was much appreciated after a busy day of sightseeing. The cottage is wonderfully spacious and the bedrooms are not only beautfully decorated but were also super comfortable. We really enjoyed the views from the garden and beautiful sunset over the mountains. Anvil and Ivan were great hosts and thought of so many small details such as tea, coffee and rusks in the kitchen to lovely soaps in the bathroom. They were very helpful with suggestions on what to see and places to eat. We would definitely recommend Notts Cottage and if we are fortunate to visit the Midlands again then that's where we will be staying."
"This is an amazing place and I will recommend to anyone anytime. I am also going to visit the place again ans stay a bit longer. The Botha couple is also amazing."
"Notts Cottage is idiaal geleë vir 'n besoek aan die Natalse middelande. Die verblyf is luuks en ruim, met 'n pragtige uitsig in 'n rustige omgewing. Die mooi tuin en vriendelike gasheer en gasvrou het bygedra tot die baie aangename verblyf. Baie dankie Ivan en Avril ons sien julle weer."
"We loved the peace and quiet and think the hosts Avril and Ivan are just perfect. Notts Cottage is a peaceful getaway that you crave, and when you go back home you are relaxed and refreshed. Will recommend this place to all of my friends."
"My Wife, 13 month old daughter and mother in law travelled down to stay overnight. The report back was the experience was amazing and not only did they receive the most friendly arrival but also the most comfortable cottage well decorated with no expense spared. The heating was perfect for the cold night and the views are truly spectacular. We will definitely return as a family."
"Thanks, we had a lovely time!"
"The cottage was a splendid surprise, modern and beautiful with breathtaking views, especially when we got up early morning. The warm welcome received from Ivan and Avril really made our stay a wonderful experience. Many thanks for a wonderful stay."
"We stayed over at Notts for 3 nights and we were impressed with the cleanliness and quality of furnishings. It is home from home with privacy, underfloor heating and wall panel heaters. If you want to relax and visit various Midlands Meander venues then it is perfect. Close to Nottingham Road Spar so stocking up on groceries is quick and easy."
"We stayed at Notts cottage for 3 nights. The cottage has all the facilities needed and more. There is loads of room and great views. The hosts Ivan and Avril were very welcoming and recommended some great sites and restaurants to visit. We will definitely stay again soon!"
