Bedrooms
After a day wandering beneath the ancient oaks of Sherwood Forest, exploring the trails at Sherwood Pines or discovering great estates, The Dukeries Lodge offers a comfortable place to rest. Its individually designed bedrooms have been refreshed as part of a refurbishment, combining comfort with the character and quirks of this historic inn. There is a good choice of accommodation. Classic single rooms are ideal for solo stays and business trips, while classic and superior doubles provide an easy-going base for couples planning a few days in Robin Hood country. Flexible deluxe double or twin rooms work particularly well for couples or friends travelling together.
Food & Drink
Food is an important part of the experience at The Dukeries Lodge, whether you are beginning the morning with breakfast, stopping for lunch after a forest walk or settling in for dinner before heading upstairs. The menus have been created around popular favourites. The Thoresby Dining Room, named after nearby Thoresby Hall, provides the main setting for lunch and dinner. Sunday is given over to one of the great pub traditions with a choice of roasts and Yorkshire pudding. There is a proper pub offering at the bar too including real ales. Settle in for a pint after a day in the forest, enjoy a drink before dinner or make an evening of it knowing your bedroom is only a short walk upstairs.
