Hollybrook Lodges

The scent of pine drifts through the trees as wood pigeons call from the branches overhead — Hollybrook Lodges tucks you into timber walls with a door that actually locks, somewhere between proper camping and a countryside cottage break.

This one's for couples after a cosy bolt-hole, families wanting beds instead of sleeping mats, or anyone who fancies the outdoors without the 3am tent-peg panic. The pods and chalets give you four walls and a roof while keeping that away-from-it-all feeling intact. Dogs might be welcome — worth asking when you book — and the campfire question gets answered on arrival, so if you're dreaming of evening flames, check first.

Facilities aren't spelled out in detail, so it's worth ringing ahead to know exactly what's onsite and what you'll need to bring or find nearby. Expect a quieter, lodge-park vibe rather than a bustling campsite — the sort of place where you unpack once, settle in, and let the rest of the world get on without you for a few nights.
