Amy Housego

General Manager at Sherwood Forest

Sherwood’s General Manager Amy can often be found walking round location early in the morning before others are awake, on the watch out for the local wildlife. Her favourite forest activity is Archery – who doesn’t want to be Robin Hood when they’re in Sherwood Forest! She loves to explore Sherwood Pines and wandering deep into the forest where few people go…(there’s even a secret Christmas Tree plantation).

    Retreat Manager

    Misha is our Retreat Manager at Sherwood Forest and is responsible for ensuring guests' get that Forest Feeling. She can be found walking her noisy sausage dog beneath the tree's or at the local pool taking a swim. She recommends our Nature by Night activity with our Ranger as she finds it exciting looking through the night vision goggles at all the deer's eyes looking back. The hot tub is her favourite place whilst it’s raining as the temperature difference of the hot & cold is very relaxing.

    Samantha Thompson

    You’ll find Samantha out in our cabins getting stuck in! Out of all the cabins, 59, 60 and 61 are Samantha’s favourites, as they’re nice little 2-beds with a view of the Deer in the early hours in the morning. Outside of the cabins, Samantah enjoys taking part in Archery and Axe throwing session with other team members.
