The Secret Escape

Sherwood Forest

East Midlands, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire

Tucked away on the edge of the charming village of Wellow, your perfect celebration retreat awaits—recently featured on BBC Two’s Gone Fishing. Pass the village cricket green and scenic fishing pond to arrive at the property, located at the top of a peaceful farm track. Surrounded by the ancient Sherwood Forest, the setting offers a true escape into nature.

In the village of Wellow, you’ll find two welcoming pubs, along with a selection of local restaurants and takeaways. Essential amenities—including supermarkets, a butcher, and banks—are just 1.5 miles away in New Ollerton. Explore the nearby Sherwood Forest, with its extensive network of footpaths and woodland trails—ideal for refreshing countryside walks. Two excellent spas are just a short drive away if you’re looking for relaxation, while outdoor adventures like paintballing and archery can be enjoyed at nearby activity parks.

The property features a spacious central hub perfect for bringing everyone together. A huge dining table seats 26 guests, while the adjoining kitchen and lounge area is fully equipped with two electric ovens, a hob, two fridges, a freezer, dishwasher, and microwave. Whether you’re cooking for the group or hiring a private chef to cater your celebration, the space has everything you need. Unwind on the plush sofas in front of the 88” Smart TV before heading downstairs to the soundproof private nightclub—complete with jukebox sound system, stage, lighting, and a private bar where you can pour your own pints. For added convenience, there are two separate WCs in the main barn.

Step out into the courtyard to find the accommodation. There are 9 king-size bedrooms and 4 twin bedrooms, all with en-suite shower rooms and WCs. One master twin also includes a luxurious en-suite with a freestanding bath, separate shower, and WC. Each room offers underfloor heating and a 55” Smart TV for added comfort.

The fun continues in the games room, featuring retro arcade machines, table football, an air hockey table, and a cosy seating area—perfect for catching up with friends. New to the house are an indoor swimming pool and sauna for guests to enjoy.

During the warmer months, enjoy the outdoor patio area with ample seating and relaxing hot tubs. There’s a convenient drop-off point near the main entrance, and a designated car park is located a short walk from the barns.
