Corkhill Cottages enjoy a peaceful and tranquil setting overlooking nearby Southwell in rolling countryside, perfect for those wanting to relax and recharge away from the hustle and bustle of day-to-day life. The numerous footpaths and local Southwell trail offer plenty of opportunity to explore the area, popular with walkers and cyclists.

Undoubtedly the magnificent Southwell minster should be visited, the showstopper of Southwell. The owners are happy to recommend friendly local pubs, they insist on regularly sampling them themselves, as well as a variety of restaurants, take-aways and supermarkets for cosy nights in. You are lucky to have several local food producers close by, why not take advantage of the fresh quality produces for a real taste of Nottinghamshire.
Towns of Newark on Trent, Nottingham and Lincoln are close by if you are looking to enjoy the history of Newark Castle, shopping in Nottingham or the cathedral quarter of Lincoln. Local attractions include Southwell Racecourse, Sherwood Forest, Clumber Park, many good golf courses and much, much more. The Cowshed is conveniently positioned in the East Midlands, between the A1 and the M1, with good local roads it is easily accessible from all angles, with Newark train station on the East coast mainline only a short distance away.
Whether you want to relax and recharge, breath in the fresh air, visit a local town or city or have an event to attend locally, it would be the owner’s pleasure to have you and they hope you love Corkhill as much as they do. If you are looking for something specific, please do get in touch and they will happily help.

8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jan 2026
The cottage has two large and very comfortable en-suite bedrooms but is let down by the tiny sitting area. The location is excellent, on the edge of Southwell which is a lovely tiny town. It has Southwell minster which is now a cathedral, the enormous old Workhouse, excellent pubs, and an excellent garden centre which compares well with a botanical garden.

We really enjoyed it at the Cow Shed, it was very quiet but close to all the attractions we wanted to see. We walked to Southwell with a stop at Reg Taylor’s Garden Centre for lunch. We enjoyed a lunch at Maxeys Farm shop too, lovely food. Sherwood Forest is only 25mins away. Popped to Newark but there weren’t many shops for my 18year olds. The Cowshed was very comfortable, lovely comfy beds, stunning bathrooms. The WiFi is quite poor but we managed to watch Netflix ok. I bet it’s lovely in winter when the fire is lit.
