Glamping Pods with Hot Tubs
Stay near Ollerton, sleep in the countryside
Ollerton is where the roads into Sherwood Forest meet. Rufford Abbey, Sherwood Pines, Thoresby and Clumber Park are all a few minutes from the village, and Old Ollerton, with its watermill and coaching inn, is the quiet half most people miss.
Eden Pines has six glamping pods for two, each with its own private hot tub on its own terrace, on a four-and-a-half-acre working smallholding at Oxton Hill near Southwell. The A614 runs almost straight from the park to Ollerton, so the forest attractions are around 20 minutes away while the park itself stays out in the fields.
The park is adults only, so it suits couples looking for a quiet break rather than families with young children. The park opens in December 2026 and you can register interest now.
