Family-friendly vacation rentals in Nottingham city centre

Location was excellent for our purposes (in the center of the city, few minutes walking distance from the University, the market and the railway station) The host was a bit slow in responding before arrival in the UK, but issues regarding were resolved upon arrival at the airport. Overall the apartment was in good to excellent condition apart from some issues which were considered minor due to the relative short stay of 8 days. (One window was very tricky to open and close, the freezer needed some defrosting, one of the faucets had a broken drainer, no towels or sheets were changed during the length of our stay)

We had a fantastic time at Clover Cottage. The space was perfect for a short break, with the added luxury of a hot-tub. The host was responsive to our questions and provided a comprehensive ‘check-in’ walkthrough on arrival. Great location too for the peaks.

We had a lovely stay in the cottage. Two adults and two pre-teen children. The children loved the hot tub. Quite a few walking trails near the cottage. This was our first air b n b stay and would definitely return. The cottage is clean and so many lovely little touches. We loved the log burner for the colder evenings. We used the hosts recommendations for dinner and visited the Carnarvon pub and also ate from the local takeaways. The location was perfect for us as we were visiting family. Also lots in the local area to do for all ages. Would definitely recommend.

Overall it was fantastic and would recommend staying here for the immediate surroundings. We had fantastic weather for April so we could sit out on the patio and enjoy the view and the kids enjoyed the garden which was big enough to play football and rounders in. The only nitpick we had were the towels provided were very hard and scratchy and after using a lovely bath or shower the towels were not nice to use. So maybe bring your own in case they are not replaced soon. Although this did not affect us as the weather was great. If it did rain a lot and you were stuck in the downstairs lounge or dining area has no view of the lovely lake you can see from outside. There are views from upstairs main bedroom windows though.

Natalie's place is a perfect! The location is one of the kind with Carsington Water views and rolling fields in the distance. If you like the outdoors and farm life and being surrounded by beautiful scenery, this is the place to stay! We loved it there. Listening to the farm livestock hussle and nloises, being close up - is what I think made is special for us. We could walk with the dogs on a lead though their field. The cottage was great - had everything you needed, comfy and had a lovely homely feel to it. Clean & tidy place. The Hot Tub was a bonus, we didn't get the chance to walk with the Alpacas, but saw them in the distance. I'd recommend it. Thank you Natalie!

We had a lovely week at Wood View, it felt like a home away from home which was surprising as often dog friendly places can seem uninviting. Karen was a fabulous host and couldn’t do more for us. We will be back!

We had a fantastic girls weekend at Oakerthorpe. The place was gorgeous, spotless, even nicer than the photos. Host was also very responsive and instructions / recommendations were fab. The outdoor spaces were also gorgeous and very enjoyable to spend time in. Thank you again!

My friends and I had an amazing weekend here. We were celebrating our friends birthday and they kindly put up a banner and there was a cake as well which was such a kind gesture and really appreciated! The location is beautiful and if you get the chance the spa on site is well priced and very good!

Gorgeous place to stay. Views from every window. Expect family ducks, chickens and peacock to pay you a visit, and if you hear snoring, it’s probably the large pig outside the window!

Such a wonderful couple of days attending our daughters wedding. Made even more relaxed by staying at Lizzie place. Fantastic directions and info sent in advance. The Old Barn was such a delightful place to stay. Beautiful and peaceful setting, spotlessly clean, very comfortable, even the little dog came in to say hello as we were leaving🥰 I would definitely recommend this home to anyone.

Very comfortable house in perfect location. We loved our stay here and hope to return.

We had a wonderful stay. It was a very comfortable and cosy cottage, both attractive and functional. We felt immediately relaxed there. Thank you to Jane - she went beyond expectations, providing items beyond what was listed in the description. Also, the decor made it a very homely and appealing place to be. There were DVDs, board games and books to use which we enjoyed. We would thoroughly recommend this place.

What an incredible place! We fell in love with it. We were given excellent instructions prior to arrival and the owners came to say hi with the horses which my children loved. They also made friends wirh the two dogs and cat. The cottage has everything you could need, was really warm and cosy and had a lovely modern kitchen. The location is perfect, peaceful with no noise but close to Matlock. The lambs in the field next door were gorgeous! We will definitely be back, honestly couldnt fault it xxx

We had a wonderful stay at Sam and Annie’s place. The cottage is so spacious for two people, and was very comfortable. Lots of hot water and plenty of firewood to keep the fire going. Just down the road from the Monsal Trail, we enjoyed walking into Bakewell and exploring the area. The local pub does great food too! We would happily return. Sam and Annie were always reachable and willing to help with whatever we needed. Thanks again!!

Loved the house and location. Turn right out of the back gates and it's a nice 10-15 minute stroll into the centre of town. Only two of us stayed but definitely big enough for 4 people. It felt like being home. Vicky the owner has a great collection of vinyl LP's and kindly allowed us to use her player. Highly recommended! Mike Wood

This was a very comfortable stay in a well presented, spacious, quirky house. Lots of areas to sit and relax and a great table for family dinners and board games (provided). Despite the surrounding buildings the outdoor area is private and peaceful and it was lovely to sit and listen to the birds without noise from passing traffic as is so often the case these days. There are lots of places to visit in the area to suit all tastes and we would love to return to sample more of the recommendations given by Steve.

Beautiful place and very relaxing. Disappointed that there was no coffee machine as listed as we had purchased coffee pods, but not the end of the world. Will stay again when we visit the Peak District again.

We had a large group stay for 2 nights, and found that the communal spaces worked really well. We appreciated having enough space for people to sit and eat together, with a separate lounge area that was similarly big enough for everyone to comfortably gather. The beds were comfortable, and the flexibility of the layout was appreciated. We had a nice meal out that was only 10mins drive away, and enjoyed the nice walks in the area. Communication from the host was responsive. There is only one small parking space at the property but there was plenty of on-street parking within close proximity.

Swallows cottage was perfect for our girls weekend. We were so glad to have good weather to enjoy the gorgeous patio area with bbq. The kitchen was so well prepared with all the essentials we needed and more. The living room and kitchen are so spacious and we loved the carefully considered decor. Izzy provided excellent info and suggestions locally, and was really responsive to any questions we had. We'll definitely be keeping this place in mind for future trips.

Booked this as a surprise family gift for my hubby’s 60th, a family weekend away with the grandkids, and it was amazing!! We had a fabulous time, the accommodation was lovely, exactly as described! Hubby was over the moon! The pool and games room was well used by us all and made it perfect as we all got to use it basically to ourselves! The house was lovely and exactly as described! We’ll definitely be going again!

our stay at staycation cottages in bakewell was lovely. the love nest Lodge was very quaint and well equipped. the bathroom was especially layed out nicely. I enjoyed the access to the football playing area, pool area and the swimming pool. we used the bbq area once and made full use of the boot room for leaflets and information for our stay would definitely return back

We very much enjoyed our stay in this lovely cottage. The space is great and as an extra bonus, you get to use a heated pool and brilliant games room. We went early Jan and there was loads of snow, as well as pretty cold temperatures, but the house warmed up very quickly and we were always more than comfortable. The property is close enough to Bakewell for a short drive or taxi ride, should you want to venture into town. We're thinking about going back in the summer.

Biggest asset was as a peaceful base for a week’s walking in the White Peak. Great location for Bakewell and Hartington areas. Good mix of scenery and plenty of dog friendly pubs. Pool a bonus. Accommodation was comfortable and a couple of maintenance issues were resolved without fuss.
