About Fairwood Lakes Holiday Park
Set in picturesque surroundings, you can expect first class facilities and a very warm welcome at this peaceful lakeside site. Located just a 15 minute drive from the start of the Cotswolds, spend days exploring the countryside or visiting nearby Longleat and Bath. Appealing to couples and families, the well-equipped touring and camping fields are situated close to lakes and woodland, offering the chance to enjoy nature from the comfort of your caravan, motorhome or tent. There are 20 pitches, all on hardstanding with 10 amp electric and allowing up to six guests. If glamping is more your style, you will still be well catered for. The Florence shepherd's hut is set in the idyllic woods alongside the 6.5 acres of lakes. Perfect for two, inside you will find a queen size double bed, along with bedding, towels, coffee and tea making facilities, a small sofa, electric, FreeView TV and a mini fridge. Outside you will also find a private area which comes with seating and a small two man hot tub, perfect for evenings enjoying a glass of bubbly. For those who are planning a fishing holiday, the four woodlands hut could be the ideal choice. Sitting 2m above the ground, the small pod structures sleep up to two with a queen size double bed, TV, fridge, kettle, heating, electric and a balcony. This also includes a fishing pass where you can even fish during the night. Looking for a treat? Try one of six luxury hot tub lakeside lodges available for hire, including the sought after floating lodge. If you are wanting to enjoy a spot of al fresco cooking, BBQs are welcome though they must be raised off the ground by bricks which are available to borrow. Please note, open fires and ground BBQs are not allowed. Dogs are welcome on pitches, sorry no dogs in glamping accommodation.

Wish had stayed longer. Fantastic site for families with children under 8 due to what's there for the children, soft play/climbing frames, play houses and lots of cars. The water area was really enjoyed by lots of kids there, the sand pit one side. For the adults, the beers and ciders was very fairly priced and good coffee served. Plenty of food available if you don't want to cook. Overall, would rate it highly, we will be returning ourselves.

1st visit with a campervan. Excellent service from friendly and welcoming staff. Small but clean facilities. Perfect for families with an excellent play park and lovely lakeside walks. Cafe had a basic, but good selection with scaled down portions for children. Slightly pricey but excellent service.

Stayed for 2 nights with our 4 year old granddaughter - her first camping experience. Whilst she loved the play facilities, we found the park to be a bit tired and in need of an uplift. £45 per night with a minimum of 2 night stay is very expensive - never paid this for a site before. The wardens were not very friendly and a bit strict with the rules - almost chasing you off the site after the 10am check out (very early for a campsite - never experienced this early check out before) even though the park was pretty empty.

Things to do on site and in the Westbury area
If you love fishing, the 6.5 acres of beautiful lakes here are the heart of the park. The lakes contain carp up to 27lb, as well as silver fish and pike, and fishing permits can be purchased from reception.
You won't get bored of the beautiful lakeside walks either.
The site is also one of only a few parks within a 15 minute drive of the popular Longleat Safari Park. The world famous attraction is home to a great range of animals from monkeys to lions, with a wonderful drive through safari so you can see them all from the comfort of your car.
The historic city of Bath is also just 15 minutes away by train if you hop on the at Dilton Marsh station which is just a five minute drive from the site. Spend the day exploring the charming cobbled streets, take a dip in the famous Roman baths or hop on a boat trip down the River Avon.
Other nearby attractions include:
- Pulteney Bridge (30 minutes)
- Stonehenge (30 minutes)
- Caen Hill Locks (30 minutes)
- Mary Shelley's House of Frankenstein (30 minutes)
- Wookey Hole Caves (45 minutes)
