The Rose Cottage
About
The Rose Cottage sits peacefully in the heart of the Rufford Forest, just minutes from Center Parcs, Rufford Abbey, Clumber Park and Sherwood Forest, offering a quintessential English pub experience. Guests are treated to home‑made dishes crafted from fresh, local produce—think hearty main menus, real ales, draught lagers and a classic coffee selection—alongside a selection of fine wines. The pub is proudly dog‑friendly, featuring a dedicated doggie dinner menu and a cozy patio or hidden garden for pet‑owner leisure. All menu items can be adapted to cater for gluten‑free and other allergy requirements. Afternoon tea is an indulgent highlight, available Monday to Friday from 12 pm to 4 pm for £21.95 per head (pre‑order required). Visitors are encouraged to book ahead for the full experience.
