Top Hotels Near Oakmere Park Golf Club in Southwell from NZ$86

"as a fan of one Lord Byron I was excited to stay here. the staff at the museum and the surrounding neighbors were so helpful, and thank goodness for that! as someone who came by cab and unfortunately arrived later than planned because both trains I took to get there arrived late - finding the keys after a 20 minute walk from the front gate to the Abbey was nearly impossible! first of all the check-in instructions have no code for the main gate in order to access the grounds. So it is impossible to access the cottage itself, I was literally told by neighbors to jump the gate! Thankfully, the warden Tracy, was around and was able to help me, and I didn’t have to jump anything. However, the instructions to getting the keys from the lockbox are near impossible to understand. I would ask the people in charge of this listing to be more specific and not just say “parking area.” when it comes to finding the lockbox – as there are exactly 3 different parking lots. Simply saying something along the lines of the parking area at the cottage would’ve cleared up things immeasurably. Instead, I was left wandering around with my suitcase in the blazing heat.If it wasn’t for the friendly neighbors, I would’ve ended up sleeping under an oak tree. I would also suggest giving anyone who rents this cottage not just the key code, but also the code to opening the gate. I cannot imagine what would happen! besides that, I had a wonderful time! and kudos to the staff being so lovely and helpful."

"All staff are very helpful"

"It was lovely. It was quiet and away from people, v close to local amenities and sites. The WiFi is spotty but that is no criticism, it was great to know i could just read a book without constantly checking my screen. Will definitely come again."

"Exactly as advertised - the host was lovely and gave us recommendations of where to go and where to eat, the breakfast was excellent and room very comfortable (clean, tidy, nicely presented, etc.). We had a great time!"

"Convenient location and clean. Easy checkin with the key available from pub across the road. Had unusual single cup kettle and coffee maker and good selection of teas and coffees. Lights and bathroom tap were on timing sensors and both were a bit annoying particularly the tap when you were trying to fill a jug for the kettle. Bedclothing was a bit tired and there were only 2 fairly flat pillows on a standard size double bed. The thing I really didn’t like though was the musty smell of bedding and towels. Smelt like they had been put away damp after being washed. "
