| "Quiet but with plenty to do on the park and lots to see locally. The woodland comes right up to your door the staff are extremely friendly and helpful but keep a low profile. " |
| Mrs J, 29 February 2008 |
| |
| |
| "The site seems really safe to wander through. Everyone is very friendly: the people in the neighbouring lodge rescued our drying towels from the veranda rail putting them in a sheltered position when the rain came on. We really enjoyed the crazy golf and the archery session was very good value entertaining and instructive.The weather was kind to us but if it was very wet Sherwood is near plenty of attractions to enjoy. We visited D.H. Lawrence's birthplace Newark and Hardwick Hall all well worth a visit." |
| Mrs G, 09 September 2009 |
| |
| |
| "Nestled in the woods the log cabins are clean and spacious with plenty of room for our three children. There are lots of activities for the kids great cycle trails and we all LOVED the archery! " |

| "We have just got back from a delightful weekend at Sherwood Castle. We stayed in a Bowman lodge which was spacious and pleasant. I liked the fact that beds were made up ready for us which isn't always the case on holiday. We hired the pool for an hour on both mornings which was lovely and at £20 reasonable. The pool is small but it was such a luxury to not have to share it and the children were allowed inflatable toys etc which they loved. We thought the range of indoor play equipment was good and the staff were very friendly. We have booked again for next year and I would thoroughly recommend it!" |
| Mrs S, 05 October 2009 |

| |
| |
| "This was by a long way the best holiday we've had in years. A good clean park and accommodation quiet surroundings with lots of hidden paths and play areas. No nightlife on site (a big plus when you have small children). Our two children (aged 18 months and 4 years) adored all the facilities especially the swimming pool and the well equipped and mostly free sports hall which kept them amused for hours. During the whole week we only felt the need to go off site once. The rest of the time was spent just enjoying ourselves in this idyllic little hideaway." |
| Mrs W, 18 June 2009 |
| |
| |
| "A smashing holiday choice especially for those with children who can really get into the spirit of Robin Hood in a safe and friendly environment. " |
| Mrs T, 04 August 2007 |
| |
| |
| "We loved this site and were very impressed with north Nottinghamshire overall - so much to do in a very small area. The site is well cared for and the staff are friendly helpful and genuine. However - this site's greatest appeal is the LACK of a clubhouse and night time entertainment. Having stocked up at the local Tesco it was so much nicer just having a glass of wine in the peace and quiet of Sherwood forest after a hard days sporting activities. I would definitely recommend it to sporty families who enjoy their own company in the evenings. " |
| Mr B, 25 July 2008 |
| |
| |
| "A park with lots to do which is great for the kids!" |
| Miss S, 23 June 2008 |
| |
| |
| "Lovely peaceful park ideal for a quiet break and close enough to loads of interesting places within easy travelling distance. Rufford Abbey and Mill are very close and a wonderful place to spend time. Lots of good pubs to eat in at reasonable prices and a Sunday market at Thornsby (approx 15mins away) is huge and really worth a visit. This is our second visit at this park and I really hope to visit again. " |
| Miss T, 29 July 2006 |
| |
| |
| "We have stayed here twice this year because we like it so much. Lovely lodges helpful staff and beautiful peaceful surroundings. I would recommend this holiday to everyone!" |
| Mrs H, 31 October 2007 |
| |
| |
| "We have just returned from a fantastic holiday at Sherwood Castle and we would definitely recommend the park to others. We have 2 children aged 7 and 4 and the park was ideal - with great facilities on site and plenty to do within close proximity. " |
| Mr S, 03 August 2009 |
| |
| |
| "Very central for lots of places to vist eg. Sherwood Forest Nottingham and Hardwick Hall." |
| Mrs C, 14 September 2009 |
| |
| |
| "Lovely setting friendly efficient staff easy to find lovely area to explore." |
| Mrs L, 13 November 2009 |
| |
| |
| "I really enjoyed my hoseasons holiday and the whole family had a great time away. Value for money was fantastic and the site and staff were amazing." |
| Ms W, 10 November 2008 |
| |
| |
| "I would recommend this holiday because apart from the very good facilities the area gives kids the opportunity to use their imaginations in exploring the area building 'dens' and such like in safety." |
