Home | Rufford Park Lodge

Welcome to The East Wing at Rufford Park Lodge, a five bedroom self-catering holiday cottage located in the heart of Sherwood Forest in Nottinghamshire, surrounded by countryside and close to a multitude of attractions and activities.

As a Grade II listed property, Rufford Park Lodge retains all the original charm and character of its gothic style architecture, allowing you to step back in time and truly appreciate the historical significance of the area.

Inside, the accommodation combines original features with modern comforts, and includes all the facilities you would expect for an enjoyable and memorable stay for up to ten people.

Nestled within what was once the extended grounds of the historic Rufford Abbey Estate, it is thought to have originally been built as a Hunting Lodge for the head gamekeeper, and has had many incarnations since.

Located in the centre of an historical area with literally something for everyone, there is plenty to keep even the most active of people busy, no matter how long your stay.

There are many sites of historical interest, great parks that can be appreciated on foot or bike, activities for all ages, numerous golf courses, inns with reputations for great food, and some excellent restaurants, many of which are featured in our Guidebook.

We are conveniently located close to Rufford Abbey, with Edwinstowe and the Sherwood Forest Visitor Centre only ten minutes away, Newark twenty minutes and Lincoln only forty minutes by car. New Ollerton is close by for ATM’s, take-aways, supermarkets and pharmacies.
