Lilac Farm
Farmhouse Bed & Breakfast

Lilac Farm, a family run guest house in Laxton, Notts, is a 17th century listed building at the top of the village which is home to the last open field farming system in the country.  A warm welcome from the Rose family awaits you in this cosy, traditional farmhouse which has been awarded three stars by Visit Britain.

The roof was updated to clay tiles in 1748. Inside the oak beams, doors and pantry remain as they were up to 400 years ago. Lilac Farm combines the beauty of a traditional beamed farm cottage with modern facilities. The original yard of the farm offers safe off-road parking for cars and larger vehicles. Children are very welcome and pets or horses can be catered for by prior arrangement.

We have two double rooms and a family room which can be opened up to join one of the double rooms, sleeping up to six people. One room has an en suite toilet and all have wash hand basins, colour TV and tea / coffee making facilities.

You are assured of a comfortable, relaxing stay, whether you are coming for business or pleasure. Start the day with a superb full English breakfast, freshly prepared to your requirements from local produce. We are happy to cater for special diets with prior notice. If you have to make a very early start, or if you prefer, a packed lunch may be substituted for breakfast.

We are equally conveniently situated for guests travelling on the Nottinghamshire section of the A1 who need to break a long journey or for those who are visiting Robin Hood country for a longer stay. Our tranquil rural location within easy reach of excellent transport links make this a perfect place to stay when visiting the Newark Showground and nearby Swinderby - an antique collector’s paradise, staging world famous Antiques Fairs several times a year - historic Newark on Trent, Southwell Minster, Lincoln or Nottingham.

During your stay you will have easy access to walks in the open fields in which to work up an appetite for your evening meal. The widely renowned Dovecote Inn is just short walk from our door. Guided walks can be arranged for your party at most times of the farming year if requested at the time of booking.

Please note that this is a rural village and the nearest railway stations are at Retford or Newark, both of which are a taxi ride away.
