Whatever your celebration, this property is the perfect place, offering 14 en-suite bedrooms, kitchen, lounge, central dining hall, nightclub, games room, and outdoor seating with hot tubs.

This fantastic property, situated in the village of Wellow just 5 miles from the Sherwood Forest Visitor Centre, is perfect for a huge family or friends’ get-together where the pups don’t have to be left behind. With private hot tubs, a concierge service where nothing is too much trouble and bright and airy social spaces, you have everything you could need for an event here. Let your hair down in the nightclub until the early hours and spend the next morning lazing on the patio.

 

The barn conversion, which is just 300 metres’ walk from a dog-friendly pub, is filled with amazing finishing touches that make it the ideal place for a celebration. Beamed, vaulted ceilings in the open-plan living area make it a pleasure to eat at the huge dining table; you can even add beer pumps to the kitchen once you’ve finished cooking and turn it into a bar! Chill on the comfortable sofas in the lounge area, the dogs snoozing at your feet, before heading to bed across the courtyard to one of the bedrooms. Wake up and feel the warmth of the underfloor heating under your toes and take a shower in your own sumptuous en-suite.

 

If you can bear to tear yourself away from the house, book a treetop climb at Go Ape Sherwood Pines (5.5 miles) where the dogs can enjoy the forest trails with the adult that’s left holding the bags. If you’ve got young children with you, they’ll have fun in the play areas within the forest park itself. Thoresby Park (4.5 miles) is perfect for dog walks and for kids to let off some steam, while grown-ups might prefer a day at Thoresby Hall Hotel Spa (6 miles) for some rest and relaxation.

Absolutely loved it, what a wonderful place. We were a party of adults and kids, the kids had the best time ever because they were in a secure area but could roam free within the grounds and entertain themselves in the hot tub, games room, cuddling the ducks and just being kids. Adults enjoyed some chill time knowing kids were safe we could be adulRead morets. Had some issues with room temperature and hot tubs but the owner was very obliging and sorted any problems we had straight away. We will be back. Hide

Just enjoyed my birthday weekend. Dave the owner was very responsive when I emailed queries and nothing was too much trouble. He and his wife really go the extra mile to ensure we had an enjoyable stay, their ethos was it was our home for the weekend. The venue itself is superb for large groups, great bedrooms, en suites and communal areas. SpotlesRead moresly clean hot tubs, emptied and cleaned after each group. Everything you need and more in the kitchen area. Brilliant weekend. Hide
