Every lodge at Sherwood Castle comes with its own private Secret Garden, hidden among the ancient oaks of England's most legendary forest. Here is a proper look at the retreat that surrounds it.

Deep within Sherwood Forest, in the county forever tied to the legend of Robin Hood, our Sherwood Castle retreat is built around one thing: your own Secret Garden. A private, screened outdoor space attached to your lodge, wrapped in trailing roses and hidden lighting, with your own hot tub inside it, sealed off from the world the moment you close the gate.
Arrive through a genuine hand-built wooden castle gatehouse and you already feel somewhere else entirely. Ancient oaks tower overhead, forest trails wind out from your doorstep, and the whole retreat carries the quiet theatre of a place built for stories. But step into your Secret Garden and the forest falls away completely, just you, the roses, and total privacy.
This is a place designed to feel like an escape within an escape. The forest gives you the wonder. Your Secret Garden gives you the seclusion. Together, they're unlike anything else in the Liv collection.
Everything you need to unwind, explore, and thrive, starting with your own private Secret Garden.
Wood-fired pizzas served fresh from the heart of the forest, just a short walk from your Secret Garden. Our resident pizza van brings warmth, real flavour, and a relaxed atmosphere right to the retreat.
Stone-baked bases, quality toppings, and the kind of easy evening that tastes even better eaten al fresco, before you head back through the trees to your own private garden.
