The Toy Room at Forest Farm is a quirky retreat set privately within the Farm House on a working Farm. 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.

There are two luxurious cream leather sofas, antique Victorian pine furniture, freeview 40" T.V and DVD player, an abundance of DVD’s, books and games, an additional Belfast sink plus separate toilet with washer dryer.

The kitchen is well-equipped with utensils, quality crockery and cutlery, it has a large Belfast sink, an oven with hob, fridge with freezer compartment, kettle, toaster and microwave oven. There is a lovely pine dining table and a two-seater reclining settee to relax and watch the freeview 22" T.V.
The Kitchen leads to the bedroom which overlooks the garden, parking area and chicken coop (no cockerels). It has a super king-size bed which can be separated into single beds if necessary, pine furniture, a freeview 32" T.V and shower room (no bath) with a heated towel rail.

Fantastic stay in a beautiful area.
The accommodation was incredibly clean, spacious, quiet, and comfortable. It's situated in an absolutely picturesque part of Nottingham. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for either an escapist retreat or a convenient and comfortable place to stay.

Great Accommodation!
The Toy Room was all we could have asked for. It was very roomy with lots of different spaces to relax. It was fully stocked in the kitchen and bathroom and was very clean. The fresh flowers, cake and milk were a nice welcoming touch. We slept soundly in the comfortable bed. The central location (which was easy to find based on the good instructions) was close to our family and made getting out and about so easy. Our seven day stay went by so fast! We would highly recommend the Toy Room to future guests!

Weekend in Papplewick
We have a short but excellent stay. Great location as just outside Nottingham but everything easily accessible by car. The accommodation was comfortable and clean and we appreciated that there were basics like washing up liquid in the property plus the milk bread and cake that was left for us when we arrived.

Excellent place to stay
It has everything and is spotless. The photo of the property is misleading as the accommodation is at the back but this was no problem for us but a bit confusing when you arrive.
