Nottinghamshire is a county in the East Midlands. Its principal city is Nottingham – a lively destination for hen weekends and stag breaks. There are numerous attractions, swish bars and restaurants where to celebrate in style.
Dotted about its landscape are small market towns and pleasant villages surrounded by farmland and woodland. There are numerous holiday homes to rent that sleep couples in small cottages or apartments, family holiday accommodation and pine lodges set in the countryside.
Although not entirely flat, the gentle rises in the landscape still allow for pleasant cycling. There is an extensive cycle path network in Nottinghamshire that allows for off-road family cycling. Much of Nottinghamshire was former mining country and although the mines have long gone, the mining villages remain. Some of the properties have been converted into self-catering accommodation and can be rented by the week or for short breaks.
The large expanse of Sherwood Forest has long been a major Nottinghamshire attraction. Holidaymakers come to enjoy woodland walks, Go Ape or to rent pine lodges in a tranquil rural area that has plenty of outdoor activities nearby. There is a watersports centre near Nottingham, plenty of golf, horse riding stables and plenty more outdoor activities to keep a young family busy throughout a self-catering holiday.
Nottinghamshire is a fun place to come for a holiday away from the usual beach or organised camps. Its landscape is green and pleasing, there are lots of trees and also the wooded mixed leaf expanse of Sherwood Forest that has become an outdoor activity centre. There is so much more to Nottinghamshire than legends of Robin Hood although names associated with the outlaw and his merry band of men crop up all over the county. Find Little John fishing lakes, a Royal Oak Pub, Sherwood Pines, Sherwood Forest Golf club, a Maid Marion Takeaway - and the list goes on. There are no doubt lots of small holiday homes named after Robin Hood and his companions.
There are a number of holiday parks with lodge accommodation in Nottinghamshire, also independent country cottages or village houses that can be rented for shot breaks or by the week.

Each holiday home in Nottinghamshire that is featured on Country Cottages Online is fully furnished and ready to welcome guests. Beds are made up with good quality bedding, there will be towels and little niceties such as bath robes in the more expensive properties.
A number of holiday homes in Nottinghamshire are pet-friendly and allow guests to bring a dog or two with them. Always rent a dogs welcome property that has a garden. Any dog owners would usually prefer a rural setting but sometimes people select accommodation in a particular part of Nottinghamshire because they need to visit a relative or certain place and a property with a garden may not be available. It is just that bit more inconvenient to keep taking the dog for a walk but needs must.
