We stayed at half moon wood for the weekend. It was a chilled out girls weekend and the place was perfect for this!The cabin was a great size and had everything we needed to cook and serve meals. Everything was clean, we had a lovely time in the hot tub and the beds were comfortable. We went for a gorgeous winter walk in Sherwood Forest and ate at a nearby pub for lunch. Instructions to find the place were clear and parking and gaining access to the property was straight forward. The only slight bit of feedback I would give is that there wasn’t anywhere to easily dry towels and the bathroom became quite damp, so it might be worth leaving a few more towels or recommending that some are brought with customers.
