You wake to the chatter of songbirds in ancient woodland, light filtering green through the canopy onto your chalet deck.
Westgate Lodge suits couples after a proper getaway and small families who prefer a solid roof to canvas — the pods and chalets give you that bit of shelter and comfort without losing the outdoor feel. You're still in England's classic camping country here, with footpaths threading off into the trees and enough space around each pitch to feel like you've escaped. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth asking ahead if you're bringing one along.
Inside you'll find Wi-Fi if you need it, though the temptation is to switch off completely. Campfires are one to check when you arrive — sometimes allowed, sometimes not depending on conditions. The vibe is tucked-away and peaceful, the kind of place where you actually hear the wind in the leaves and remember what quiet sounds like.
