This fantastic property, seen recently on BBC Two's 'Gone Fishing', is situated in the village of Wellow just 5 miles from the Sherwood Forest Visitor Centre. It is perfect for a family 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.
