The East Wing At Rufford Park Lodge

Accommodates up to ten adults and an infant in peaceful and relaxing surroundings, with a secluded courtyard featuring a private hot tub. We appeal to many different groups including families, groups of couples, reunions, walkers, ramblers, cyclists, thrill seekers and golfers, and have often had tennis and bowls teams from abroad attending local tournaments. We also provide accommodation during the week for business people and professionals working in the area. The accommodation comprises a double en-suite bedroom on the ground floor, and two double bedrooms, two twin bedrooms and two bathrooms on the first floor. One bathroom has a modern walk-in shower and the other has a double jacuzzi/whirlpool bath and a two-seater steam-shower enclosure. The kitchen has a range cooker and microwave oven plus a utility area with a washing machine, tumble dryer, a tall fridge and a separate tall freezer providing ample storage during your stay. There are two reception rooms on the ground floor - a dining room with an extendable oak table that seats up to ten people; and a lounge with reclining leather sofas, a Sony 42" Flat Screen TV with surround sound, and Sky+ HD with catch-up via the WiFi. Wifi is provided throughout the property via a main router and two extenders for your convenience. The dining room has french doors that open out onto decking which provides a comfortable seating area in the enclosed but ample courtyard. There is a 5/6 seater premium hot tub in one corner which is continuously heated and exclusively for your use during your stay. It is serviced by a local professional company and refreshed between each booking ensuring it is in pristine condition on your arrival. Bromine is used for water quality treatment rather than chlorine as it is kinder to the skin and is more effective for hot tub use. We recommend that you bring your own beach towels and/or bath robes as it is not practicable for us to provide these. Rufford Park Lodge is situated in what used to be the grounds of Rufford Abbey, which is a short drive or twenty minute walk away, accessible via the private road that runs past the cottage. Rufford Golf and Country Club is accessible from the same road. The nearest pub is Rose Cottage which is also walking distance and is on the Rufford Road junction with the A614, opposite the entrance to Rufford Abbey. Old Ollerton is a short drive or cab ride away and has an old mill open to the public with one of the best tea rooms around, and is home to a number of village pubs. Try the White Hart for great value Samuel Smiths and village atmosphere. New Ollerton is home to a number of takeaways and also supermarkets including Tesco which also has the cheapest petrol. You will also find everything else you need from chemists to cash points. Edwinstowe is well worth a night out as it has a number of pubs including Forest Lodge which serves excellent traditional food, and the recently renovated Royal Oak. For those special occasions try Launays but remember to book on a Friday and Saturday to avoid disappointment. During the day you will also find the Major Oak which is a short walk from the visitor centre, which can also be reached from the art and crafts centre, which is another favourite of ours. For activities you are spoiled for choice. In addition to Rufford Country Park and Mill, we are also close to Sherwood Pines, Clumber Park and Thoresby Hall. The Adrenalin Jungle is on our doorstep for everything from Archery to Zorbing, and Lockwell Hill and Amen Corner for two and four wheel fans. Go-ape is also close by, as are Sherwood Forest Activity Centre, The Mill Adventure Base, White Post Farm and Robin Hoods Wheelgate Park which is a 30 acre all-weather family theme and water park.
