About this place

Best bits

Snuggle up with the kids, a story, and your imaginations in your quirky and colourful bell tent.
The whole site is sustainably run - 95% of their energy is renewable and all water comes from the site’s own well.
Wake yourself up with a morning swim in the lake and relax with the smell of bonfires drifting through the forest at night.

Top tips

There is no electricity in the bell tents. You are able to use electricity sockets in the West Lexham Garden Kitchen.

Rooms

The gorgeous bell tents are spread across the 21-acre estate. Your home from home could be lakeside or wooded. Each bell tent is beautifully and vibrantly bedecked with up-cycled furniture, plush bedding and twinkling fairy lights. Wake to the sounds of birds and watch the natural world roll by from the comfort of your double bed.

The tents sleep up to four guests in a double bed and a single/day bed with an additional mattress. You can add an extra mattress for an additional £50. Luxury luxury linen and towels provided – as are cosy blankets, hot water bottles and fairy lights. Your dedicated garden washhouse is but a short stroll away and features underfloor heating; you'll also find organic, nature-friendly soap and shampoo.

Eat

Unfortunately, the West Lexham Garden Kitchen Café is closed for the winter. open all day for staying guests, from early breakfast right through to late night supper. Teas, coffees, snacks and between-meal treats are served throughout. The Café serves a range of beautiful, family friendly vegetarian and vegan food – plus our wood-fired pizza oven is on the go daily. Corkage is available to guests for BYO.

Our seasonal, hyper-local menu is designed to highlight the delicious produce from our garden and key local suppliers. Inspired by our own produce, we welcome all to our beautiful restaurant space and will always have dishes for vegetarian and vegans.

Whatever is just picked, sun-ripened and grown here on site – or foraged and hunted in the immediate vicinity – will have pride of place.

Activities

Explore 21 acres of rivers, forests and gardens, including a huge wild swimming and boating lake complete with rowing boats. The big central campfire and new The West Lexham Garden Kitchen Café are the perfect places for parents and kids to meet new friends.

Accessibility

West Lexham do their best to be welcoming to everyone, but admit that access in a wheelchair to most of the accommodation is quite tricky. But do call ahead and they will always try and meet your needs.
