Sherwood Forest – Unfortunately a first and last visit
We were hoping for a relaxing break, but there were far too many negatives.
Pros
• Lovely woodland setting and peaceful scenery.
Cons
• The booking advertises Wi‑Fi, but once you go to pay it warns the Wi‑Fi is poor unless you upgrade for £42 – which feels unreasonable.
• Everything comes with an extra charge. We bought the log‑fire starter pack (£10) and asked for a few extra sticks to get it going, but were told that would be another £4.50. Even a simple walking‑trail map was £10.
• The underfloor heating is the only heating (there was the log fire), and it takes 24 hours to cool down. We spent the first night too hot (we all had to sleep on top of the blankets - not a good nights sleep for anyone), the next night freezing because we were scared to turn it back on. This is actually why we had to buy the log‑fire pack.
• Plates, cutlery and towels were dirty on arrival. We took photos in case we were blamed.
• The hot tub felt like it was on its last legs.
• There’s a warning that if you don’t leave the cabin spotless you’ll be charged £250 for cleaning, so we filmed everything before leaving to protect ourselves.
Overall, it wasn’t the relaxing weekend we needed. It was an impulse booking, and we really wish we’d read the Trustpilot reviews beforehand.
