Top Rufford Country Park Hotel Reviews

Child-friendly 3-bed house in Sherwood Forest, Edwinstowe with WiFi & Parking

10/10 Excellent

"A lovely spacious clean property that was great for a family with small children. Lia was really easy to get hold of beforehand and during our stay, and super helpful. Loved staying there! Thanks for having us 😊"

Ropemaker's Cottage, · Ropemaker's Cottage, cosy cottage retreat

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at Ropemakers Cottage. It was perfect for our family, we spent days exploring the nearby sites and enjoyed relaxing evenings at the cottage. The cottage had everything we needed to prepare family meals together, was clean and cozy. During our stay the weather was very warm and we were grateful for the provided fans in the bedrooms. There was limited parking directly in front, but we had no issues as there is a community free parking lot very close with easy access to the back door of the cottage. Communication with Laura was wonderful from the booking, prior to arrival, and after check out. We'd welcome the opportunity to stay again."

The Old Ropery at Mill Cottage - Unwind where ropes once twined

10/10 Excellent

"My family and I had a really lovely stay here. We were a group of three adults, three children and a dog and the cottage provided ample space for all of us during our two night stay. The cottage was nicely decorated and furniture was comfortable and good quality. Everything was clean and well maintained and my nephews particularly enjoyed the stocked cupboards of board games! We really appreciated the high chair, children's dinnerware and toys too for our 18 month old niece staying here. The kids also enjoyed the short stroll to McDonald's for breakfast and the dog was very happy with the field down the road! We visited Sherwood Forest, Sherwood Pines and Rufford Abbey all within a 10 minute drive. We all really enjoyed our stay here and would happily be back. We actually had to coax our dog out of the cottage when it was time to leave, he didn't want to go at all! Only minor problem was we were sent two different codes to the gates to get in. We didn't realise this at first and the first code we tried contained in an email from Vrbo was incorrect and didn't work causing a slight panic when we arrived. Luckily, we did eventually get enough signal to get online and find the correct code. "

Apartment 2 The Old Chapel apartments, in the heart of Sherwood Forest

10/10 Excellent

"We were so pleased with the beautiful modern spacious apartment. We found it easy to relax there and enjoyed using the kitchen but we also went out and had such a nice meal at the Olive Tree.We were given a tour of the church which was entertaining!We went for two lovely walks at the RSPB Sherwood Forest and met some nice people there. Amazing. Many thanks to our host Laura. "

2 bedroom accommodation in Edwinstowe, near Mansfield

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice cottage, clean, warm and comfortable. Well equipped, has Sky TV package, and a dishwasher ideal for a relaxing break. Unfortunately very close to the road which is noisy, however this makes an ideal location to travel from, and the pub is just across the road. Sherwood Forest and The Major Oak is within walking distance. Two car parking spaces outside the house. A lot to recommend this cottage."
