The Ultimate Family Reunion at Rufford Park Lodge: How to Plan the Perfect 10-Person Getaway in Sherwood Forest

Posted on by

There is something deeply special about getting multiple generations or lifelong friends together under one roof. Milestone birthdays, long-overdue catch-ups, and annual family traditions are the moments we remember forever.

However, anyone who has ever volunteered to organize a large group holiday knows it can quickly feel like herding cats.

From finding a large family holiday cottage in Nottinghamshire that actually fits everyone, to coordinating schedules and cooking for a small army, the logistics can get overwhelming. The biggest bottleneck? Finding the right space. Too often, “sleeps 10” properties mean squeezing onto mismatched sofas or splitting up into separate houses when it’s time to eat.

If you are looking for premium group accommodation in Sherwood Forest where your whole party can relax, celebrate, and stay together comfortably, The East Wing at Rufford Park Lodge was built for exactly this.

Designed for Groups: Space to Gather, Space to Breathe

Forget Cabins With Hot Tubs When You Can Have A Whole Cottage

Why Cabins With Hot Tubs Might Leave You Exposed

Many people now look for accommodation with hot tubs in the search for some much needed rest and relaxation during their getaways, but do they always turn out to be what you are expecting?

Their popularity means many cabin style lodges and log cabins have added tubs which can range from the smaller domestic spa to wooden barrel style tubs, but when you are paying a premium for this facility do you really want to spend your time away in something you might keep fish in at home, when you deserve the real thing?

Due to their size and weight they will almost always be outside and often not in a secluded spot, leaving you to put bravado before dignity. Then there is the question of water quality – if it smells like a stagnant pond then that’s essentially what it is. Never feel obliged to step into a tub just because it is there. If it doesn’t look or smell right then take it up with the management straight away as Legionnaire’s is a serious health issue that hot tub owners need to be continually vigilant about. Many are of course, but if you are not convinced, don’t chance it.
