Rarely do you find cottages in Nottinghamshire with such a fantastic setting. This property is situated within 150 acres of historic parkland, woodland and gardens and was once one of the great private estates in Sherwood Forest. In medieval times the forest covered most of Nottinghamshire above the River Trent. Nowadays the Sherwood Forest National Nature Reserve is a 450 acre site where there are 900 veteran oak trees, including the famous Major Oak. This ancient oak is one of Britain's most famous trees, thought to be nearly a thousand years old, and legend has it that Robin Hood hid from his enemies inside it.
