"We came back to Sherwood Castle after just a month because we loved it so much. The peaceful surroundings, with lodges nestled in the woods, really help us unwind. Such a lovely spot!"

"Our Sherwood Castle Holiday Forest review: We decided to have a quick last-minute getaway with the dog and this place turned out to be a lovely surprise! The hot tub was a great bonus we werent expecting at all. When we arrived, everything was spotless and ready to go, which made settling in so easy. The surrounding area is perfect for walking-Rufford Abbey was a highlight and we even spotted some deer close to the lodge. The staff were super friendly and made sure the hot tub was checked daily. Sadly, our dog picked up harvest mites, which made her quite unwell, but thats just bad luck and not the fault of the accommodation. Just a heads up to other dog owners to keep an eye out for them at this time of year!"

"We had such a relaxing break here! The lodge was spotless and cosy and the hot tub was a real treat. We didnt bother with the site facilities, just used it as a base for exploring. Cant wait to come back next year!"
Claire Roberts - Oct 2024
"We loved the chalet! Its super spacious and in a pretty spot. Everything was spotless, though the wooden floors and beds creaked a bit. Still, perfect overall!"

"Great stay, would definitely come back."
Dave - Aug 2024
"We had a fantastic stay with four generations, from tiny 4-year-olds to a 93-year-old, plus our dog. Both lodges, Forester 4 Pet 44 and 45, were spotless and spacious, with private hot tubs and secure gates on the decking to keep the dog safe. We loved visiting the animals, swimming, playing tennis and exploring the woods around the site. The outdoor areas were great for the kids and staff were always friendly and helpful. The only extra cost was for icecreams - a lovely touch!"
Harper - Jul 2024
"The place was really lovely-spotless, comfy and perfect for families with dogs. The structure was solid and the facilities were well thought out. We honestly couldnt ask for more!"
Laura - Jun 2024
"We had a lovely time! The place was spotlessly clean and well maintained, which made us feel comfortable. The kids loved feeding the animals, exploring the woods and playing at the parks. The pool was a decent size for private hire, though they sometimes wanted a bit more than the half-hour. Staff were super friendly and helpful too."
Lucy - Feb 2024
"We loved visiting during Christmas! The forest walk was perfect for the dogs and the lodge was cosy to relax in afterwards. Definitely a great spot!"
Alex - Jan 2024
"We had a really peaceful and quiet stay, which was just what we needed. The site was spotless and the staff super helpful. If you're after lively shops or bars, this isnt the place for you - its all about the calm, with just the sound of trees and birds. We loved the walks and our dog had a fantastic time exploring. Were already planning to return to the same cabin soon!"
Jamie - Dec 2023
"The lodge wasnt as clean as we hoped-dust in the corners and the shower grout could do with a proper scrub or replacing. Also, some extra lights would be handy to see better when heading to the cabin at night."
Chris - Nov 2023
"Really enjoyed exploring this good place, such a peaceful spot."
Steve - Nov 2023
"Weve been coming to Sherwood Castle a few times now and honestly, its a lovely spot. The location is perfect for a relaxing break. This visit, we saw some pretty big changes - new hot tubs and saunas being added and the cabins look like theyve been freshly painted and spruced up. Its interesting to see how things will evolve under new management. The forest nearby is really pretty and while we found the pool slots a bit tight with only 30-minute windows, we do appreciate the two-cabin booking system - its fair for everyone. Having a proper dining place would be a great addition, fingers crossed they sort that out. Theres plenty to do around, so its a solid base for exploring. Its a bit of a shame about the ford being closed off, as that was a fun little spot to visit. Overall, we really enjoy it here!"

"Lovely chilled out few days, location is superb with little parks dotted about in the woods. Kids really enjoyed having the pool to themselves as booked 30 minute slots.
Will definitely be returning ?"
Wendy - Aug 2022
"Great little holiday park in nice surroundings. Lots of outdoors paths trails and parks. Lodge was generally ok.
There was signs of damp and lack of high level cleaning (cob webs) in lodges and customer areas which could be improved."
Michael - Aug 2022
"Spent a long weekend here and totally enjoyed it. Would recommend"
Emma - Jul 2022

Sharon - Jul 2022
"Nice place to stay for holidays."
Anzella - Jul 2022
"We really enjoyed our holiday at Sherwood castle and would recommend it to any young family. The site has great facilities including the pool and tennis courts although some of the outdoor activities has taken a beaten due to COVID. The lodges themselves are well acceptable for the price and I believe are due to be revamped over the next year. The site is centrally located with numerous towns and cities all within an hour's drive. Also Sherwood pines and the Sherwood forest visitor centre are less than 10 minutes away. The best part of Sherwood Castle is the staff. They are genuine nice people who have great knowledge of the area and help a lot. I would recommend this site."
Thomas - Jul 2022
"Lovely little holiday park with lots of activities for all of the family."
