Diamond House – A place to bring everyone together

Once a village school, Diamond House is now a spacious country home sleeping up to 18 guests. Perfect for family reunions, milestone birthdays, celebrations and those precious weekends when everyone can finally get together.

Set in a peaceful Nottinghamshire village, with a pub nearby, there's plenty of room to spread out, relax and enjoy being together.

Space for everyone

A wonderful former school hall with a large dining table where all 18 guests can eat together, plus an open fire.

Two comfortable lounges with space to relax, chat or watch Sky TV.

A huge, enclosed south-facing garden with plenty of room for children and dogs to run around, plus a play area.

A well-equipped kitchen with everything needed to cater for a large group, including generous supplies of crockery, cookware, cutlery and glassware.

Dishwasher, microwave, fridge freezer and plenty of kitchen essentials.

Direct, level access from the kitchen into the garden — ideal for outdoor meals and keeping an eye on the children.

WiFi throughout the house.

Bedrooms and bathrooms

Diamond House has 7 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, arranged over three floors, with a flexible mixture of sleeping arrangements for families and groups.

A ground-floor twin bedroom overlooking the playground and village church.

Two ground-floor shower rooms, both with WCs.

Four first-floor bedrooms offering a variety of bed arrangements, including a family bedroom sleeping five with its own WC.

A family bathroom and additional shower room on the first floor.

A spacious second-floor bedroom with four single beds.

Two cots available for younger guests.

The house has stairs to the upper floors, but the ground-floor bedroom and shower facilities make it easier for guests who prefer to avoid stairs.

Outside and around the village

A large, enclosed garden with space for outdoor games, relaxing and barbecues.

Plenty of off-road parking.

A welcoming entrance hall with room for coats, boots and muddy shoes.

Walks from the doorstep and a village pub nearby.

Retford, our local market town, just five miles away.

Convenient central UK location, with access from the A1 and M1.

There's plenty to explore nearby, including Sherwood Forest, Clumber Park and Sundown Adventureland — or simply stay put and enjoy having everyone under one roof.

A house with a story

Originally built as a village school in the 17th century, Diamond House has retained much of its character. The old school hall is still the heart of the house, now filled with family meals, conversations, games and celebrations.

Outside catering can also be arranged for those occasions when you'd rather spend time with your guests than in the kitchen.
