- 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 A, , 28/07/2009 04:05:43
An absolutely brilliant holiday, friendly and informative staff and we would definitely return.
- 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 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, , 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!
- 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.
- 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!

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.
