    This quaint comfortable cottage was just the perfect place to find respite. Just a tic off the main roads, its ideal setting was a lovely place to rest at days end.

Hi! We're a very welcoming, warm and friendly gay couple who would love to make your stay with us as enjoyable as possible. The Cottage consists of 2 Floors: The Ground Floor (Entrance Hall and Breakfast Nook) and a First Floor (All Bedrooms). You'll have your own beautifully decorated bedroom with en-suite toilet, built-in wardrobes, free wifi, a breakfast room with continental choices, large grounds for you to wander, ample safe and secure parking onsite, smoking area outside and security cameras on the outside of the cottage to ensure you're safe and protected on our very private property. We also have a cosy Living Space with Sky TV and, if you order yourself a Takeaway, more than happy to provide dining utensils so you can sit n watch some tele while you have your dinner. Or if you fancy, you're welcome to take your Lunch/Dinner upstairs to your own room. Our newly upgraded Breakfast now includes warm croissants (plain/chocolate), yogurt pots, a large selection of Cereals and fresh fruit. This is addition to your included Full English Breakfast which comes in a choice of à la Carte, Half or Full. Our breakfast is sure to get you started well on your day. We will do whatever we can to ensure you're happy in the Cottage so all you need to do is simply ask us or let us know what you'd like. *Please do make a note of our Check In (1500hrs - 2200hrs) and Check Out times (1000hrs). Do please inform us in advance if you will be outside of these times as it may incur a surcharge. *PLEASE NOTE: Smoking is STRICTLY forbidden inside the cottage. A Cleaning Charge will be levied if there is clear indication of a violation of this policy.
We are an extremely friendly and accommodating gay couple who live on site. Love meeting new people and ready to welcome you to the cottage. We will do whatever we can to ensure you have a wonderful stay at our cottage. We have a lot of experience in the hospitality industry as Shaan is from The Maldives where it is the largest industry and Sef has worked in the Food and Beverage Industry all his life. We have been together since 1999 and we sincerely love meeting people from all over the world and country and form all walks of life.
Milton is a beautiful village that sits cosy in the heart of the countryside. We are just 8 miles from the legendary Sherwood Forest with the Major Oak, the magical dwelling of Robin Hood. Other attractions in the Sherwood Forest area include: the Go Ape Sherwood Activity Centre, The National Holocaust Centre and Museum for history buffs, Rufford Abbey, Rufford Mill Ford, Rufford Park Golf and Country Club, Sundown Adventureland for the kid in you, Clumber Park for walkers and hikers and glorious hiking and biking in stunning Nottinghamshire. There's also more fun to be had at Wild Water Rapids at Subtropical Swimming Paradise. The Historic City of Nottingham is an hour away with all its attractions, including Nottingham Castle but it's the countryside just outside our gates that will draw you in time and time again. We're also 30 minutes away from Newark where you'll find lots of history and 35 mins from Lincoln with the stunning Lincoln Cathedral. Retford Town is just a 10 minute drive and there's some lovely new restaurants and shops that have opened in the high street as well.
