Discover Fairwood Lakes, Wiltshire
South West England has long been one of the UK’s most loved holiday destinations, and it’s easy to see why. Whether you’re drawn in by the history, the countryside, the family attractions or simply the chance to slow down and breathe, there’s something about this part of the country that brings people back year after year.
At Fairwood Lakes, near Westbury in Wiltshire, you get the best of everything. A peaceful lakeside setting in the heart of the South West, with some of England’s most iconic destinations right on your doorstep. And with summer breaks starting from just £32pppn*, it’s easy to see why so many guests make Fairwood Lakes their base for the season.
Why South West England, and why here?
The South West attracts visitors because of its remarkable variety. Within an hour or two of Fairwood Lakes, you have ancient landmarks, a UNESCO World Heritage city, safari parks, dramatic gorges and miles of beautiful Wiltshire countryside.
What makes Fairwood Lakes the perfect summer base is its position. Sitting just outside Westbury, the park puts you 15 minutes from Longleat Safari Park, 20 minutes from Bath, around 30 minutes from Stonehenge, and within easy reach of Cheddar Gorge, Avebury, Lacock and the wider Cotswolds. Guests also benefit from exclusive discounts, such as 20% off the gate price at Longleat, Cheddar Gorge and Wookey Hole, meaning the savings quickly add up across a family stay.
And when you come back from a day out, you come back to a private hot tub, a lake on your doorstep, and peace and quiet. This combination is what keeps guests returning.
Perfect for families
When you book a family holiday at Fairwood Lakes, every day of a summer break feels easy and enjoyable.
Children are well catered for with an outdoor play park that extends into the Fairwood Forest, plus indoor soft play, mini golf and lakeside wildlife walks. The café is a good spot for parents to catch a breath while the children burn off energy.
Cherry Tree Riding Stables, a friendly, family-run yard just a short walk from the park, offers hacks, lessons and experience days for all ages and abilities, bookable directly with the stables. Back at the lodge, spacious layouts and fully-equipped kitchens mean there’s plenty of room to eat together, relax together and genuinely enjoy each other’s company without the pressure of keeping everyone entertained every hour of the day.
A genuine escape for couples
Not every summer break needs to be busy. For couples, Fairwood Lakes offers something that’s genuinely hard to find. A place that’s peaceful enough to properly switch off, but well-positioned enough that you can fill your days with as much or as little as you like. Drive into Bath for an afternoon, walk the Wiltshire countryside, or spend the day doing very little at all.
New for 2026, in-lodge spa treatments are available through GloPamper, with tailor-made packages delivered directly to your accommodation. These are ideal for a special occasion or simply for making the most of your time away
Dog-friendly holidays
Holidays are better when the whole family comes along, four legs included.

Whether you’re walking around Westbury or heading further afield, this corner of the South West is excellent dog-walking territory.
