Nestled in the heart of Sherwood Forest lies the Welbeck Estate, a true hidden gem in Nottinghamshire. At the heart of this estate is the stunning Cuckney House, a Georgian manor that underwent a luxurious transformation in 2023.
Offering self-catering accommodation for up to 31 people in over 15 bedrooms, Cuckney House is listed on Airbnb. The Grade II listed building was once the residence of the sixth Duke of Portland and even served as a filming location for the movie Testament of Youth in 2014, featuring stars such as Kit Harington, Taron Egerton, and Alicia Vikander.
This sophisticated manor requires a minimum two-night stay and presents varying rates, starting from £6,200 during the low season, equating to £200 per person for two nights, and increasing to £8,600 in the high season. Its extensive offerings surely justify the price.
The property boasts 15 bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, a bridal suite, a function room capable of seating 48 people for formal dining, a bar, and two family suites. Cuckney House is a popular choice for weddings due to its civil wedding license, hosting several small weddings annually for up to 38 guests, and providing ample private car parking and a charging area for electric cars.
Receiving its first Airbnb review last year, the property was awarded a perfect five stars. The review expressed, “Absolutely stunning house. My family enjoyed Christmas here and it exceeded all of our expectations. No expense has been spared on the interior and the finest of details have been thought about. Amazing place, can’t wait to visit again.”
The house has been carefully restored by the Northern Design Award Winner, Rachel McLane, maintaining its traditional charm and historical significance. Apart from the exquisite interiors, the property also features modern amenities such as a hot tub, tennis courts, and a BBQ area.
Cuckney House is available for booking on Airbnb or through its official website. Whether for a wedding, family gathering, or any special occasion, this elegant manor in Sherwood Forest is the perfect choice. Discover the beauty of Nottinghamshire and create unforgettable memories in this breathtaking estate.
