Willow Cottage, Redmile

Willow Cottage is located in the heart of the pretty village of Redmile in the beautiful Vale of Belvoir - just 20 minutes from Nottingham.

We think the best thing about the cottage is having a beautiful rural location with canal-side walking under the shade of the iconic weeping Willow tree, alongside the convenience of village amenities, being just a few steps from The Peacock & The Windmill, two of the best pubs in the Vale of Belvoir.

Redmile/Vale of Belvoir
Redmile makes the perfect base for exploring the counties of Leicestershire, Lincolnshire & Nottinghamshire. There’s plenty going on all year round, from sports quizzes at The Peacock Inn to theatre productions in St Peter’s Church. It’s also the perfect place to experience some of the great events regularly held at Belvoir Castle.

The village is a great base for extensive walking & cycling with canal-side paths starting right from the back door, as well as cross-country walks to Belvoir castle & trails which weave the length & breadth of the vale.

The village is lucky to have two great pubs/restaurants in the village, both serve food seven days a week (check this) and even do takeaway fish & chips!

The kids will appreciate the huge play fort and slide in the local park, which is only a few short steps from the cottage.
