Three cottages · Sherwood Forest, Nottinghamshire

Wake up on the edge of Sherwood.

Ancient oaks, morning mist and a log burner waiting. Three self-catering cottages for 2, 4 and 6, with dogs welcome in two of them. Book direct and pay no booking fees.

The cottages

Three cottages, one quiet corner of the forest

Each has its own parking, garden or patio and log burner. Fees are shown up front, always.

Why book direct

Book with us, not a middleman

When you book through a booking platform, guests usually pay a service fee and owners pay commission. Book here and neither of us does, so our best price is always on this site.

  • No booking fees. The price you see is the price you pay.
  • Our best price. Lower than anywhere else we list.
  • Talk to the owners. Early check-in, a cot, a birthday cake: just ask.
  • A 25% deposit secures your dates; the balance is due 6 weeks before you arrive.
