Forest Farm Papplewick Nottingham - Spacious Self-Contained Rural Retreat!

Eddie and Kim wish you a warm welcome to “The Toy Room”, and we hope you enjoy your stay. Eddie - Forest Farm was purchased by my Grandfather in the early 1900's, I was lucky enough to grow-up here, in fact I was born here. Kim - I spend most of my time at home on the Farm enjoying the Countryside and my horses. We will respect your privacy but always happy to give advice about things to do and places to visit in the area should you have any questions. We are situated off the A60 with a self-check-in lock box at the electric gate and plenty of free secure off-road parking. We are surrounded by forest and countryside, yet only a short drive to the vibrant city of Nottingham and the market town of Mansfield. Papplewick village boasts a charming country pub, quaint tearooms and is the southern gateway to Sherwood Forest and home of Robin Hood. Ideal for long or short stays, country and city lovers, holiday makers, cyclists, walkers and business travellers alike. A welcome pack is provided, along with fresh linen and towels. Please let us know should you have any problems, so we can do our best to solve them promptly.
