A wonderful villa with lots of surrounding space. Detached with parking to the front, a massive bonus on arrival and departure. Secluded on its own and situated just down a slight dip from the left of the cycle centre. Very close and within walking distance to all amenities and village square. Having stayed within many areas within Sherwood Forest over... More

Fantastic! Really good walks, interesting folklore to keep the kids asking lots of questions. Super day out for all ages. Cafe is really good value too, but is in need of a refit. Keep your car park ticket for refund ar cafe when you soend over £15.00. No parking charges mon-fri, £3.00 on wknd. More

The visitor centre has a nice exhibition dedicated to Robin Hood which was very nice and the shop is full of nice gifts. The car park costs only £3 but you can get this back if you spend more than £15 in the gift shop. The paths through the forest are kept tidy and we had no trouble with our... More
