About the home

My little cottage is 200 years old and would have once been the gardeners cottage, although sadly no garden but there is a sunny terrace in the front to sit out . It is therefore full of character but quite SMALL with low doors and oak beamed ceilings. It is one of the original '2 up, 2 downs' from around 1800 and in recent years was modernised and a small toilet/shower room added. It has been decorated and furnished in keeping with the period complete with some antique furniture so is not be suitable for small children. You do actually sense the history in the ambiance. The kitchen is just big enough for 4 to eat round the table and the living room cosy, especially when the log fire is blazing away in the grate. Situated in a little no-thru road literally just off the main centre and market square of Bingham, it is quiet but a great base for the local shops and easy access to Nottingham. Fine for 4 people (max )if not to tall!!

The cottage sits in a no through road to general traffic literally just off the main centre and market square of Bingham, just a short drive or bus ride away from the legendry Nottingham centre ( Robin Hood, Sherwood Forest etc). On foot the centre of Bingham is just a few minutes walk with all facilities including a library and doctor's surgery. At the top of the road is a Leisure centre with swimming pool. On Thursdays there is a market in the square. Bingham is rurally situated amongst rolling fields and small villages. There is a small front terrace to sit out on which catches the afternoon sun and the cottage overlooks a walled garden as it is end of row.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
Inside there are two bedrooms and a shower room/wc upstairs. The main bedroom has a King sized bed and the second bedroom, a double bed. Downstairs is a kitchen where four people can eat and a cosy living room with original oak beams and big open log fire. Central heating and hot water is of course available at all times. Furniture is antique and interesting although not suitable for younger children. There is no phone line or internet but the local library (5 minutes away) provides computers/internet free of charge by the hour. I live in France now but this is still my bolthole in England and I love it!!!

Further details outdoors:
This is a no through road to the town centre so its always possible for the residents to park out side the house.

Further details

Provision Linen/Towels plus Heating and all electricity charges are included in your stay price.

The Heart of England / Peak District / Nottinghamshire region

Well Robin Hood country of course. The logs for the fireplace come from Nottingham Forest. There are many old villages and pubs all around the area .The castle brings back the decades of history associated with Nottingham and surrounding lace market in Nottingham itself boasts the oldest inn in England. Modern Nottingham is thronging with nightlife and restaurants with some of the biggest national companies based there and two large universities. There are many outlying natural areas of beauty and protected bird life.

The great city of Nottingham should not be missed and offers a litany of enthralling museums. Its modern name derives from an Anglo-Saxon chieftain called Snot - hence Snotingham!

It possesses an evocative 11th century castle - erected by William the Conqueror and rebuilt by the Duke of Newcastle in the 18th century – and has surprises round every corner. A combination of the old and new, the city is a major seat of learning, an industrial giant and a place of ancient buildings.


Nottingham Castle Gate House -

Its annual Goose Fair dates back to the Middle Ages, as does an inn called ‘Trip to Jerusalem’, which is hewn into a rock. It is said to be England’s oldest public house.

Nottingham was then a prosperous market town but in the 18th century its population increased fivefold as its hosiery and lace industries boomed thanks to steam-powered machinery.

Beneath its bustling streets is a remarkable labyrinth of more than 400 man-made caves. These have been transformed into a series of living museums, including old-time shops and a Victorian slum.


In recent times the city has been home to world-acclaimed industries, from Raleigh, the bicycle maker, to John Player, the cigarette manufacturer, and Boots the Chemist, founded by locally-born Jesse Boot.

A ‘must-see’ for admirers of great literature is the former home of the prolific novelist D. H. Lawrence who was born in 1885 in the coal mining town of Eastwood, the son of an illiterate miner and a schoolmistress. His house, at 8a Victoria Street, is one of the county’s most interesting museums.

The Bingham area

Small market town nestling in the countryside but only 20 mins drive to Nottingham and less to Newark. The old town of Lincoln can be reached to the North and Leicester to the South. If you wish to stray further afield you could reach the famous cobbled town of York or walk round the stunning architecture of Cambridge. in Many pretty villages around in which to walk or cycle and maybe a pub lunch. There are trains to the seaside or maybe you would like the caves in Derbyshire. In Bingham itself the local pubs do good food by big open fireplaces or visit one of the many restaurants. The market is on Thursdays and the leisure centre is always a good all weather alternative to a bike ride.

“Beautiful little place, right on binghams door step” Great little place as a base for my parents & sister visiting from Australia. They needed some where to stop as my place here in England wasn't big enough for 5 adults. This was perfect as was only down the road from my own place. Everything went smoothly with transfering payment and getting the keys. Both the owner of the property and the lady who looks after it were lovely. Perfect location for walking into Bingham to get little bits & pieces and my parents really liked the chinese restaurant. Parking was good, we were always able to park on the street, which really helped. I even stayed here myself with my parents & sister the night before my wedding and got ready here, the photographer got some lovely shots in the kitchen and lounge room. My parents would love to stay here again when they next visit, they really liked it. Response: How lovely to see photos from guests staying and especially a wedding!! Thank you for sharing your special day with us. I am so pleased it was suited to everyone. All best and of course ....Congratulations!
