Flo's Cottage

is a 19th century, south facing, agricultural estate workers’ cottage. This two bedroomed cottage has been renovated to a high standard by the owners. It retains many of the original features: beamed ceilings, open cast-iron fireplaces and the charm and relaxed atmosphere of a rural setting.
The cottage is in the small riverside  hamlet of Averham with the market towns of Newark on Trent and Southwell just a few miles away and close to the tourist  areas of Sherwood Forest, Lincoln and Nottingham.

Used the cottage as a base for a wedding. So nice, we have decided to return and booked for a longer break.

This has been a fantastic holiday, in a delightful holiday cottage.
Eileen Shemwell and sisters, Yorkshire September 2011

Lovely as ever. Just as we remember. Your standards here are very high and make for an excellent break away from home. Very pleased with the provision for a young baby, you really try to think of everything and it is appreciated.

Our hosts have thought of practically everything to make our stay a pleasant one. The cottage is cosy and equipped to cater to every need, making it the perfect retreat to retire to after our excursions around the East Midlands area. We will always remember and cherish all those little acts of kindness from John and Heather that mean so much.

A Wonderful Cottage, well equipped in many aspects from kitchen to the toys and books etc. A lovely welcome pack on our arrival, spotlessly clean interior and extremely lovely owners.
