Hodsock Priory is a wedding venue on a private estate surrounded by North Nottinghamshire countryside and easily accessible from the A1 and M1 at Blyth. Nationally famous for its winter garden and displays of snowdrops - open in February only each year. Wrap up warm and enjoy a walk in the woods then have a cup of tea a slice of home-made cake by the bonfire.

We came across Hodsock when looking for a venue for our wedding and decided it was the place for us. After a few conversations we agreed a date. Shortly afterwards we were invited to an afternoon to taste a number of the menu offerings which further reinforced we had made the right choice. In the 6 or so months we had to arrange things there wasn’t a need for hugely regular communication with the Hodsock team but when we needed them they were there. As the date drew closer there were little things that came up on our list that were no trouble for the team to accommodate. The big day arrived and family and friends staying at the Priory arrived early and Hodsock agreed that we could provide a small buffet to keep them going. Vicki was on hand to discreetly deal with a slightly lost and delayed cake ( crisis averted ) Our guests were all hugely impressed with setup and how well things ran. There’s a fine line between being there when needed whilst not being overbearing and in the way - the team managed this with aplomb. When it came to the food there were a few last minute (guest requested ) swaps which were dealt with without issue. All in all we had an absolutely fabulous day which was of course down to having many of our friends and family there to celebrate with us but also down to the excellent service we received. The day went far too quickly but we have loads of special memories. The following morning our guests staying at the Priory joined us for breakfast and what a breakfast it was - complimented by all. Just one small request on behalf of us poor unpracticed individuals who need to help getting the wedding dress off at the end of the evening - some sort of kit to help unhook, unclasp and unfasten would go down a treat ???? Thank You Vicki, Courtney, Ruby and the Team Janine and John MacMahon

Come and discover a 1920s house captured in time...Step back in time to the 1920s and find out how a grocer's family lived in this market town. This ordinary semi-detached house, with original interior decorations from 1923, was the home of the Straw family.For 60 years the family threw little away and chose to live without many of the modern comforts we take for granted.Photographs, letters, Victorian furniture and household objects spanning 100 years can still be seen exactly where their owners left them.As the house is rather cosy, it is essential to book a tour in advance - just give us a call to do so!

Well really two houses, as the straws actually bought two semi detached properties adjoining each other. You will be met by very informative and well trained guides in the morning or you can do your own self guided tour in the afternoon, guides are still on hand to answer your questions. Visit here is a must as many pieces will be familiar and it gives a real flavour of local life.

Welbeck is one of the great traditional landed estates. Set mainly within Sherwood Forest in Nottinghamshire, an area of great natural beauty, some of the most important historic buildings in the Midlands have been revitalised and are providing unique residential and commercial letting opportunities for a thriving, sustainable community. The Welbeck Estate in itself is not a 'destination', but you can visit the following which are located on the Welbeck Estate: - Welbeck Farm Shop, The Harley Gallery, Welbeck Abbey State Room Tours, The Harley Café and The Dukeries Garden Centre (run by Notcutts Garden Centres)

I work on the estate to I seen quite a bit of the place, it really is a beautiful place to work. The buildings around the estate are stunning! I have been to the brewery and sampled their real ales, they are fairly priced and very well brewed. The ale is very well known around the area. I haven eaten at the café and it is lovely, its fairly priced and the food is really fresh. The farm shop can be a little pricey but the produce is well worth the money, lots to choose from. The garden centre is situated close to the café and there is also a café in there too. The gallery is next door to the café. The place itself is a must see, I believe the tours sell out very fast but if you can get tickets, you wont regret it!! The winter Christmas market is good to visit too, plenty of food to try!
