Head to Sherwood Pines which is just 5 miles away to explore waymarked footpaths and some of the best cycle paths in the country, with fantastic bike hire, an adventure play park, and Go Ape. National Trust Clumber Park is just 7.5 miles away and you can easily spend a full day here, walking around the lake, enjoying a picnic and letting the kids burn some steam at the playpark. Rufford Abbey is a mere 3 miles away with walks through the native woodlands, a lake offering opportunities to feed the ducks plus a range of attractions, activities, and places to relax and eat. Spoil yourself at Clumber Park Spa for a day of ultimate relaxation which is less than 5 miles away. Make yourself at home in the open plan lounge/kitchen/diner on arrival. Put your feet up on the comfy sofas and watch something on the nearby Smart TV. There is an electric wood burner effect fire, which brings in cosiness during the cooler months. Cook up your favourite meal in the kitchen which offers an electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and microwave, and plate up at the dining table. The wonderful patio doors allow natural light to flood in and you can open them up to enjoy the warm air in the spring and summer.
