Pet Friendly. The East Wing at Rufford Park Lodge is a large self-catering cottage that accommodates up to ten adults and an infant in peaceful and relaxing surroundings, with a secluded courtyard featuring a private hot tub. You will find many activities, attractions, historic buildings, museums and country parks all within easy access, or you can relax, unwind and enjoy the benefits of a soak in the hot tub under the sun or stars while spending quality time with friends or family. The stylish interior combines original features with modern comforts, enabling our guests to experience a part of the local history without compromising on facilities. Our dining room, lounge and courtyard all have seating for ten separately. We appeal to many different groups including families, groups of couples, reunions, walkers, ramblers, cyclists, thrill seekers and golfers, and have often had tennis, bowls and motor sports teams from abroad attending local tournaments. We also provide accommodation during the week for business people and professionals working in the area. The accommodation comprises a double en-suite bedroom on the ground floor, and two double bedrooms, two twin bedrooms and two bathrooms on the first floor. One bathroom has a modern walk-in shower and the other has a double jacuzzi/whirlpool bath and a two-seater steam-shower enclosure. The kitchen has a range cooker, microwave oven and dishwasher plus a utility area with a washing machine, tumble dryer and a tall American style fridge-freezer providing ample storage during your stay. There are two reception rooms on the ground floor - a dining room with an extendable oak table that seats up to ten people; and a lounge with purpose made seven seater corner arrangement and separate three seater, a Sony 42" Flat Screen TV with surround sound, and Sky Q HD with catch-up and streaming services via the WiFi. Included in our package is Netflix, Prime, Paramount, Sky Sports and Sky Cinema. Our Sky Superfast Fibre Broadband provides WiFi throughout the property via a main router and two seamless extenders for your convenience. The dining room has French doors that open out onto decking which provides a comfortable seating area in the enclosed but ample courtyard. There is a 5/6 seater premium hot tub in one corner which is continuously heated and exclusively for your use during your stay. It is serviced by a local professional company and refreshed between each booking ensuring it is in pristine condition on your arrival. We recommend that you bring your own beach towels and/or bath robes for use with the hot tub as it is not practicable for us to provide these. Hand towels and bath sheets are of course provided for each guest. Rufford Park Lodge is situated in what used to be the grounds of Rufford Abbey, which is a short drive or twenty minute walk away, accessible via the private road that runs past the cottage. Rufford Golf and Country Club is accessible from the same road. The nearest pub is Rose Cottage which is also walking distance and is on the Rufford Road junction with the A614, opposite the entrance to Rufford Abbey. Old Ollerton is a short drive or cab ride away and has an old mill open to the public with one of the best tea rooms around, and is home to a number of village pubs. Try the White Hart for great value Samuel Smiths and village atmosphere, along with the Bella Vita Italian restaurant with its riverside garden bar. New Ollerton is home to a number of takeaways and also supermarkets including Tesco which also has the cheapest petrol. You will also find everything else you need from chemists to cash points. Our nearest supermarket is now a Co-op in Bilsthorpe and under five minutes away by car, with ample parking and open until 10 pm every day. Edwinstowe is well worth a night out as it has a number of pubs including Forest Lodge which serves excellent traditional food, and the recently renovated Royal Oak. For those special occasions try Launays but remember to book on a Friday and Saturday to avoid disappointment. During the day you will also find Robin Hood's Major Oak tree which is a short walk from the Sherwood Forest Visitor Centre and nearby Art and Crafts Centre, which is another favourite of ours combining workshops, gift shops, galleries and another excellent tea room under a glass atrium. For activities you are spoiled for choice. In addition to Rufford Abbey Country Park and Mill, we are also close to Sherwood Pines, Clumber Park and Thoresby Park and Hall. The Adrenalin Jungle is on our doorstep for everything from Archery to Zorbing, and Lockwell Hill for two and four wheel fans. Go-ape is also close by, as are Sherwood Forest Activity Centre, The Mill Adventure Base, White Post Farm and Robin Hoods Wheelgate Park which is a 30 acre all-weather family theme and water park. There are many walking, cycling and MTB trails in the area including the Southwell Trail where you will also find the racecourse and many country pubs and inns such as the Saracens Head. For locomotive fans, The Final Whistle is a must visit! ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car recommended - Wheelchair-accessible parking and van parking available ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 5 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3.5 bathrooms - Bathtub - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area - Wood stove ### Entertainment - DVD player - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 2 accessible parking spaces - Handrails in stairways (91 centimetre high) - In-room accessibility - Stair-free path to entrance - Thin carpet in public areas - Tile flooring in public areas - Upper floors accessible by stairs only - Visual alarms in hallways - Well-lit path to entrance - Wheelchair-accessible parking - Wheelchair-accessible path of travel - Wheelchair-accessible van parking - Designated smoking areas - Note from host: Strictly outside in the courtyard only ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near a hospital - Near a zoo ### Things to do - Water park - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Swimming nearby - Theme park nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,679 square feet ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/113000000/112590000/112585100/112585034/926ecd70.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Old Rectory Thurgarton - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-10&endDate=2025-11-11&selected=112585034&PinnedHotelID=112585034&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/60000000/59060000/59055200/59055188/2e2414b7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beautiful Rambling Cottage for 14 in Nottinghamshire Newark - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Outdoor space 9.6 Exceptional 9 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-10&endDate=2025-11-11&selected=59055188&PinnedHotelID=59055188&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/108000000/107050000/107044000/107043962/796cbea0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### New refurbished house on Private Country Estate Perlethorpe - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-10&endDate=2025-11-11&selected=107043962&PinnedHotelID=107043962&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/112000000/111380000/111376800/111376704/4ba15687.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Spacious 6-Bedroom, 8 bathroom Home, Sleeps 12, Perfect for Family & Groups!
