The creak of old timbers and the warmth of a building that's sheltered travellers for generations — this is camping with a proper roof over your head and a bit of history in the walls.
The Old Wheelwrights offers camping pods alongside guest house rooms, so it suits groups with mixed needs or anyone who fancies a pod's cosiness without giving up a few home comforts nearby. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, and it's open year-round, which makes it a solid choice for shoulder-season breaks when canvas feels a bit optimistic. The exact facilities aren't listed, so it's worth calling ahead to check what's onsite versus what's a short walk away.
Campfires are allowed but check the rules when you arrive — there's usually a firepit or a designated spot. The vibe feels like a traditional stopover rather than a big holiday park: quieter, more intimate, the sort of place where you might actually chat to the hosts. If you're after simplicity, a warm welcome, and somewhere that works in February as well as July, this ticks the boxes.
