If you and your loved ones enjoy going at your own pace when on holiday, cooking your favourite meals and having extra amenities such as your own swimming pool or a hot tub, then perhaps a self-catering break is for you. You can pick a property to suit you, whether that means a modern house with a large, stylish kitchen complete with a dishwasher, or a tiny cottage with character nestled on the edge of a forest with a cosy fireplace to sit by in the evenings. In Nottinghamshire there are holiday homes dotted all over the county, so you can explore what it has to offer in the day and relax on the sofa or in your private garden when you get back.
For somewhere quaint and friendly to stay, the market town of Newark-on-Trent is a great choice. Located towards the east of the county, Newark is set on the River Trent which flows through the settlement, and is home to a large market square lined with many historical buildings. Home to the crumbling Newark Castle, founded in the 12th century, a Grade I listed church and narrow streets filled with shops, pubs and restaurants, Newark is a thriving town in which to reside for a self-catering break, as there is plenty to see and do here. For day trips, you can visit some of the small villages peppered around nearby, or see Nottingham and Sherwood Forest.
Newark is a welcoming place to settle into on a self-catering holiday. This vibrant market town is full of things to keep you busy, although if you want to go at a slower pace, you can do so here too as it has a relaxing charm to it. Whatever kind of property you decide to rent, you’ll be sure to have a great time in Newark.
