Cedar Lodge Pleasley Vale

Backed by beautiful Nottinghamshire countryside and close to historic Mansfield Woodhouse, this stunning holiday home is perfectly placed for those who love being in nature. Nearby Oxclose Wood has surfaced trails and steep climbs rewarded with spectacular views, while Sherwood Forest – within 9 miles of the doorstep – has walks to suit all ages and abilities.

Close to Robin Hood’s infamous Major Oak hideout, there’s a Go Ape tree-top adventure centre plus cycle and segway hire facilities. For further challenging hikes the Peak District sits to the west.

Step back in time at Elizabethan Hardwick Hall (9 miles) – it’s en route to the neighbouring towns of Matlock and Matlock Bath, which offer a wealth of family-friendly attractions. Travel the Dale Road between the two and cable cars will transport you to the Heights of Abraham hilltop park.

Alternatively, visit Crich Tramway Village (17 miles), which offers scenic rides, a period village scene, woodland walk and sculpture trail. Sherwood Forest (9 miles) and Clumber Park (10 miles) are also popular family days out.

Full of wow-factor, this luxury holiday home has a wealth of windows that let in an abundance of natural light and serve up panoramic views of the beautiful surroundings. Pull up on the gated driveway and pause to admire the design credentials of this high-end residence.

Inside, the attention to detail continues in the open-plan kitchen/dining/living space, fully equipped with all the self-catering essentials and complete with a contemporary dining suite, social sofa area and chic bar-style seating at the kitchen island. Fully glazed doors open directly onto the patio so it’s easy to move mealtimes outdoors.

Adjacent, the sitting room has a television, pool table and Nintendo Wii, ensuring entertainment for all. A convenient cloakroom completes the ground floor layout.
