Top Rufford Country Park Hotel Reviews

Apartment 1 The Old Chapel apartments, in the heart of Sherwood Forest

10/10 Excellent

"The property is everything it promises and more! It is beautifully laid out, spotlessly clean, and has absolutely everything you could possibly need for a short-term stay. The beds are incredibly comfortable, and the layout of the property is simply perfect.The sofas deserve a special mention too — they are exceptionally comfortable! I practically had to drag my friend off them at the end of our stay!Laura, the host, is wonderful. She is incredibly quick to respond to any questions or requests and goes out of her way to make sure you have everything you need.The village itself is beyond expectations, with a fantastic selection of pubs, restaurants, and places to enjoy. There is such a lovely atmosphere, and everything you could want is right on your doorstep.Honestly, if you have the opportunity to stay at this property, take it! You will absolutely love it and, like us, will be very sad when it’s time to leave.We couldn’t recommend it highly enough.Debbie"

The Forest Lodge

8/10 Good

"Friendly staff, good pub attached with good food. Breakfast was tasty but did take a while to arrive (30mins). Room was clean, but tired and in need of some repairs (bathroom doorframe and main light fittings). Good place for an overnight stop."

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. "

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."

1 bedroom accommodation in Rufford, near Newark

10/10 Excellent

"Superb accommodation, everything you could possibly need for a relaxing break. All the rooms are large and very nicely furnished, quality fixtures and fittings throughout. Plus an amazing log burner! Easy access to Rufford Abbey and the Rose Cottage pub/restaurant is close by for meals. Best accommodation we have ever stayed in!"
