Agent's Customer Reviews
Mrs H, Kent, 04/09/2010 04:21:49
We took our 7 grandchildren (age 2 to 9) to Sherwood Castle and did not
leave the site during our stay due to the amount of activities for them to
do. Also due to the location of our cabins we could happily let them go of
into the forest to play without needing to be there all the time as it was
all round our cabins. Staff were excellent. Pool great - hired it twice for
sole use during our stay as there we 12 of us in our party.
Mrs C, Staffordshire, 05/08/2010 04:19:00
Lovely location, very spacious accommodation excellent value for money.
Mr M, , 25/07/2010 04:20:49
A great site for all members of the family in a superb location.
Mrs S, Stirlingshire, 22/07/2010 04:20:46
We as a family of 5 used this site as a home to come back to after day trips
instead of travel lodges or caravans which I dislike. Used most of the on
site amenities during our stay and found the hospitality was first class. We
would recommend this site if you would like a peaceful retreat.
Mrs H, Ayrshire, 20/07/2010 09:52:33
Location was lovely and ideal for ease of travel to surrounding areas.
Mrs B, Warwickshire, 06/07/2010 04:11:45
Very enjoyable weekend with lots of activities both on site and within a 10
minute drive. Excellent value for money and have already booked to go again!
Mrs M, West Yorkshire, 01/07/2010 04:29:54
Fantastic place for families as there is so much space for them to play and
explore while knowing they are safe. There are many places for the children
to find in the woods, such as shelters, climbing frames and even animals for
petting. The indoor play and sports areas are for both small children and
big children including the adults, Excellent all round! Disappointed that
there isn't a takeaway or restaurant on site? Don't worry all the local take
aways deliver and there are good places to eat only a few miles away. This
park is small enough to be personal unlike another well known park close
by...and if you do go there, leave the car on the park and visit the country
park opposite where you can spend more than a day and even have wonderful
afternoon tea or a full blown meal in a beautiful restaurant.
Mr C, Cheshire, 14/06/2010 04:11:38
A great site, a great location and a wonderful change from hotels and
caravans.
Mrs B, West Midlands, 30/05/2010 04:13:28
Lovely quiet site, excellent staff and things to do all day.
Mrs E, East Riding of Yorkshire, 19/05/2010 04:12:44
Our three children (6, 6 and 3) loved the indoor zip wire and had a great
time in the pool. It was also a fantastic base to visit the surrounding
parks and forests.
Mrs F, Lincolnshire, 18/05/2010 04:15:42
A beautiful location for the kids & the dog. We were immediately chilled out
by the serenity of the woodland, the bike rides, walks and just sitting
outside our log cabin watching the squirrels play on the roof.
Mrs S, Derbyshire, 29/03/2010 04:04:23
Had a fantastic time, will be back as great accommodation in a fab location.
So much to do in the area a long weekend was just not enough.
Miss R, Derbyshire, 21/03/2010 04:05:36
Perfect relaxing break with nature at your doorstep.
M, Nottinghamshire, 16/03/2010 04:06:12
Lovely, peaceful location with plenty of activities available inside & out.
Mrs P, Cleveland, 11/03/2010 04:02:07
I would definitely recommend this park. It is a perfect size to be able to
use all of the facilities without queuing, and to experience the atmosphere
of Sherwood forest without feeling the pressures of larger holiday parks.
Mrs L, Worcestershire, 02/03/2010 04:03:09
Excellent for children of all ages, as it is a a safe and relaxing
environment with just enough technology provided to keep them happy. Clean
and comfortable accommodation with the added bonus of a pool that can be
hired out for exclusive use in the mornings.
Mrs L, , 20/02/2010 04:06:18
My son, (10) and I, and my friend and her 3 year old really enjoyed a long
weekend over half term in February. The park retains a friendly cosiness
avoiding the corporate feel of other larger parks of other holiday
organisations. The sports hall was accessible and a great lure for kids and
parents to play together. It was lovely to open a window and be able to
touch the trees and hear owls hoot at night. The swimming pool was well
managed and clean and never overcrowded. We would consider returning to
this park.
Mrs B, Hampshire, 06/01/2010 04:02:00
This is a very family friendly park in lovely surroundings, and the staff
are cheerful and very helpful.
Mrs H, , 05/12/2009 04:01:22
I have already spread the word to friends about the Bowman accommodation -
we loved the whole experience!
Mrs A, Cambridgeshire, 30/11/2009 04:01:47
We really loved our 3 night winter stay at Sherwood Castle. It was
comfortable and had good facilities for the price (TV, DVD, pool, archery,
play areas etc). The children (3 year old twins) had a great time, and it
was extremely relaxing for the adults too - we would be keen to return in
warmer weather to fully appreciate the outdoor facilities available. We
found it excellent value for money!
Mrs S, South Humberside, 25/11/2009 04:10:34
I would highly recommend this holiday for families. We had a fantastic time
exploring the forest, and had the opportunity to completely relax away from
the hustle and bustle of life. A chance to recharge our batteries, and we
loved being able to take our dog along to enjoy the long lazy walks too!
Mrs L, Worcestershire, 13/11/2009 04:03:05
Lovely setting, friendly efficient staff, easy to find, lovely area to
explore.
Mrs S, , 05/10/2009
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 T, , 22/09/2009 04:05:38
The location perfect for walking, cycling and relaxing in a peacful setting.
Miss B, Hampshire, 22/09/2009 04:05:39
This site was ideal for walkers and those people with dogs.
Mrs C, Midlothian, 14/09/2009 04:02:44
Very central for lots of places to vist eg. Sherwood Forest, Nottingham and
Hardwick Hall.
Mrs G, , 09/09/2009 10:53:33
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 F, , 19/08/2009 04:02:09
Great holiday site and really helpful friendly staff. Plenty of space for
the kids to run around and explore. Take the kids bikes or scooters. Leisure
area full of things to do which occupied my 4 kids (9yr, 7yr, 3yr and 1yr)
most evenings. Yes, they even have a play area for the 1yr old!
Mr S, Lancashire, 03/08/2009 04:03:43
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.
Mrs B, Cambridgeshire, 28/07/2009
We had a lovely time and our two boys aged 5 and 2 had a ball in the woods.
We went out on trips, Sherwood Forest Farm Park is brilliant and good value
- (voucher in leaflet). Gullivers in Matlock is a good day out and good
value (take a picnic). Chatsworth is good great farm and the play area was
the best I have seen - the kids spent all day in there, under 3's are free
and take spare clothes as there is lots of sand and water. A great area for
bikes so take them with you and don't leave without a bow and arrow and hat!
Mrs A, , 28/07/2009 04:05:43
An absolutely brilliant holiday, friendly and informative staff and we would
definitely return.
Mrs S, , 06/07/2009 04:03:58
A lovely peaceful place to have a holiday. Plenty of active things for our
two boys but not as frenetic as the big holiday parks.
Mrs G, Norfolk, 04/07/2009 04:04:09
This is a very child friendly park with a wonderful location. The children
loved being able to jump out of bed, get dressed and run around or bike in
the woods at 7am! Definitely a place to relax in whether you have children
or not. It was quiet, and the wildlife was fascinating to young and old
alike. We will definitely think of using Sherwood Castle again - thank you
for a holiday to remember.
Mrs S, , 05/07/2009 04:05:07
A fantastic location and accommodation.
Mrs B, Hampshire, 16/06/2009 04:03:08
A lovely, small park with comfortable accommodation. A great location for
exploring Sherwood Forest and the surrounding towns.
Mrs. W, , 14/06/2009 04:03:06
Highly recommended, excellent facities and a quiet, friendly atmosphere.
Mr M, West Yorkshire, 06/06/2009 04:04:09
Everything about this holiday is great - chill out and relax!
Mrs W, , 18/06/2009 04:07:00
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.
Mr R, Cambridgeshire, 20/03/2009
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.
Mrs C, Staffordshire, 15/03/2009
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!
Mrs. B, Wiltshire, 17/02/2009 23:01:45
Highly recommended to all. Our family 4 adults, 2 children ages 12 and 9 and
a dog had a fantastic time here. Never really left the park as children were
so happy in the environment there was no need to explore further. All staff
from reception to the gentlemen teaching the archery couldn't have been
nicer. Were always happy to help and dealt with requests promptly! Thank you
for a great holiday we hope to return again soon.
Mrs B, , 17/02/2009
Great for families and you can take your dog along too! The children could
explore their surroundings safely and enjoyed all the activities on offer,
so much so we never got to leave the park during our stay as they were so
happy!
Mr P, West Midlands, 03/02/2009
Great for the kids as there is so much to explore around the park.
Ms W, Buckinghamshire, 10/11/2008
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.
Mrs P, Canada, 18/10/2008
The Sherwood Castle Holiday Park was exactly what we were looking for -
someone that the kids could have lots to do, regardless of weather, and not
have to get in the car much. The natural surroundings, spacing amongst
cabins and non-commercialization was great. Thank you!
Mrs S, Dundee, 18/10/2008
Situation ideal for a quiet family break, plenty to do around the area.
Mrs H, Stowmarket, 20/09/2008
Very relaxing quiet park in a lovely woodland setting which was great for
walking our dog. This was our third visit and we look forward to returning.
Mrs H, Walsall, 15/09/2008
Sherwood Castle Holiday Forest was wonderful in every way. It is suitable
for couples and familieis with children of all ages and it's location is
fantastic for making the most of the surrounding area. We had avery
enjoyable holiday and would recommend it to anyone!
Mr F, Peterborough, 08/09/2008
We normally go to the seaside for holidays. Glad we didn't this year. This
was the best holiday ever. We has so much fun and spent so little. The kids
loved it. Not just the little ones. The older ones too. We will definitely
go again. Thanks from the Fox family.
Mr B, Leicestershire, 25/07/2008
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.
Mrs K, Nottinghamshire, 23/06/2008
This park is in a lovely part of Sherwood Forest, where it is possible to
enjoy quiet walks and is well placed to enjoy other places and activities in
the vicinity.
Miss S, West Midlands, 23/06/2008
A park with lots to do, which is great for the kids!
Ms R, West Midlands, 09/06/2008
This was the second time that we have stayed at this park, it has the
optimum balance of slow paced entertainment and relaxation.
Mr C, Fife, 16/05/2008
This park is excellent for young children and provides the ideal location
with other attractions within easy access.
Mrs S, West Midlands, 13/05/2008
I would recommend Sherwood Castle as it has great amenities on both the park
itself and in the surrounding area to keep children entertained.
Mr S, Hampshire, 20/04/2008
A nice park in a quiet location but with good access to Sherwood Forest and
the other attractions in the area.
Mr D, Cleveland, 17/04/2008
We found the park and the surrounding area lovely. There was lots to do
onsite for the children and plenty nearby - we would definitely recommend
it!
Mrs C, Worcestershire, 06/04/2008
A lovely break in wonderful surroundings, our 2 dogs and 20 month old boy
were all very happy! There is so much to do and explore in the local area
so we are now keen to return. Recommended for families definitely, and
those who like to include their dog in their holiday!
Mr B, Essex, 04/04/2008
A superb park for families, our children loved exploring the woods. There
are lots of places to go to nearby and very good indoor play facilities.
Mr F, Mid Glamorgan, 24/03/2008
The log cabins and their setting is most appealing and excellent for
couples, families and children of all ages. A peaceful setting and good
value for money.
Mrs D, Midlothian, 17/03/2008
For a family with small children this was ideal - it met every need for a
short break
Mrs J, Powys, 29/02/2008
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.
Mr R, Middlesex, 15/02/2008
Sherwood Castle Holiday Forest is a lovely, small, friendly and secluded
park - a perfect location for getting away from it all.
Mrs B, South Yorkshire, 26/11/2007
A quiet location with cosy log cabins for an inexpensive winter break.
Recommended to families of all ages who enjoy making their own entertainment
and exploring the great outdoors. The indoor facilities make even rainy
days fun for all the family!
Mrs H, Essex, 31/10/2007
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 J, Cambridgeshire, 26/10/2007
A great place for children to explore safely and there is lots to do on
site. It was our fourth time here and they still want to come again as they
enjoy it so much.
Mr P, East Yorkshire, 13/10/2007
The location of the park is very central as a base to visit some great local
attractions. The park is really great for children and we will definitely
be back when our little girl is up and running about - there is just loads
for her to explore!
Ms S, North Yorkshire, 04/09/2007
An excellent location for a chilled out holiday.
Mrs T, Oxfordshire, 04/08/2007
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 J, , 22/04/2007
The park was very peaceful in a lovely setting, with lots of open areas for
the children to run around and enjoy themselves.
Mr W, , 02/04/2007
If you want fun in a great location this is the place to go - it was even
better than we were expecting so keep up the good work, 10 out of 10!
Miss F, , 26/02/2007
The park is in a great location, with plenty of activities close by.
Mrs T, , 21/10/2006
Peace and quiet, a complete relaxing holiday.
Miss T, , 29/07/2006
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.
