How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 11 pet-mention guest reviews sourced from major booking platforms - guests who explicitly mentioned travelling with a dog. Each review is screened for pet-relevance, then judged for sentiment to compute the paw rating.

- Wider context: The property has 45 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 9.6/10 - the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: October 2026. Policies and pricing drift; we re-check on a rolling basis. Confirm specifics with the property at the moment you book.
- How the paw rating works: Full detail on the methodology page, including the three verification gates and known limitations.
Pet-friendly summary
The Coffin Maker's Cottage is a neat, characterful little house on Moor Lane in Bunny, a quiet village about eight miles south of Nottingham, and it has built up a loyal following among people travelling with dogs. It earns a 4.8/5 paw rating, and the care taken over dogs is the detail guests remember.
A dog blanket and poo bags are left out for four-legged visitors, the doormats are washable so muddy paws are not a worry, and the owners live close by. Dog owners describe them as quick to help, including when a dog fell ill mid-stay and extra support was needed. Guests with older dogs note that the cottage suits a dog that struggles with stairs. No pet fee or dog limit is published, so check both when you book.
Walking is a strong point. Field tracks just outside the village let dogs run off the lead, there are countryside walks straight from the door, and Rushcliffe Country Park is a short drive away for something longer. Nottingham is close enough for a day out.
There are two things to plan around. The garden is pleasant for sitting out, but the grass is not fenced off from the parking area, so it is not a safe place to let a dog off the lead. And eating out with a dog takes a little planning: guests report that the village pub and restaurant did not admit dogs, and most solved it by driving to the next village or ordering from a takeaway listed in the information booklet. A petrol station shop nearby covers basics.
For a couple and a dog wanting a quiet, spotless base on the edge of Nottingham with good walking on the doorstep, the Coffin Maker's Cottage is an easy recommendation.
