Very lovely and well layout park.  Very eco friendly and set in part of Forest of Dean.  We had a dog friendly log cabin, which was well though out and comfortable.  We had a hot tub, which was already heated and ready to use when we arrived.  The shop is quite small and not a huge amount of choice.  The cafe seemed nice but we did not use this.  As we had our dogs with us we had to sit outside on the terrace when we decided to have a drink from the bar, we were lucky with the weather and it was warm enough to sit on the terrace.  Crazy golf is brilliant, we had such a good laugh.  We were only there for two nights so didn't have too much time to enjoy some of the forest walks.  Very closely situated to Parkend village where there is a village shop and a couple of pubs in walking distance.  The little bag they gave us when we arrived was such a nice welcome.  Our dogs got a blanket, treats, tennis ball and they also supplied some pooh bags!  We also got a small amount of washing up liquid, cleaning cloth and tea towel.  Easy check in.  The staff were lovely and very helpful.  Will definitely go back.  Would highly recommend.

Brilliant, amazing.  Such a lovely setting, peaceful and clean.  Friendly staff.

The park is really well placed with walking and cycling on your doorstep. 
We stayed in a lodge with a hot tub. The lodge had good space, warm and had everything needed. The hot tub is an excellent addition after a day walking and cycling and was well tended with 2 visits a day to maintain it.
The pool area is another great facility with 2 jacuzzis and a steam room although the sauna was out of action for the duration of our stay 
Food in the bar was good.
In the summer I imagine the outside space would be fantastic for kids.
Overall great, highly recommended and we will return.

Fab location to discover the area

We stayed 4 nights, we originally booked a Mega Pod X & this would have been ideal but unfortunately it was too small for the 2 of us & our 2 90kg Newfoundland Dogs. I went to reception to see if any other accommodation was available & the ladies on duty couldn't of been more helpful & managed to find us an apartment  on the ground floor which was amazing. It had everything we needed. The food in the restaurant was excellent & the service from the bar & restaurant  was amazing as was the entertainment manager. We will be back for sure as found our stay very enjoyable.

Enjoyable Stay

We stayed @ Whitemead over Christmas, 23rd to 27th December with our 2 children & dogs in a log cabin with hot tub. We had a wonderful time! The pantomime on the 23rd was brilliant, 5 cast members (I think) worked very hard to entertain us all (O yes they did) 
The wind band with carols on the 24th was lovely. We spent Christmas Day in the cabin & on Boxing Day we went to The Woodman Inn for lunch which was delicious! Bingo in the evening & a little bit of listening to the singer before a final dip in the hot tub! 
Daily we walked in the forest with our boys which is beautiful & somehow always ends at a pub 🤪

The only issue we had was that the internet was down for the first 24hours but the team worked hard to resolve this (which they did) 

We have been coming to Whitemead for 10 years (this is my first review) staying in tents, apartments & cabins. We have always found the staff very helpful & eager to please. Well done team! See you in the Summer!

Family Christmas Stay

Our family stayed there 3 nights in between Christmas. Despite the weather we had a great time the children aged 8 and 10 enjoyed the swimming, bike rides, golf, and early evening entertainment. The young lady who ran the mini disco did an excellent job.
The accommodation was clean and comfortable. We plan to return later in the year

Lovely stay

We had a family meet up there today as family are from all over. There was 22 of us in total and Danielle who helped with booking and orders was brilliant. There was no hiccups food was amazing and all staff we dealt with were great. Played crazy golf and great value for what we had. Plenty of kids and adults to do. Will definitely be using this regularly for our meet ups.

Outstanding

We took a visit here with our family for a meal and crazy golf whilst in the area. All 22 of us could not fault the staff, food or the atmosphere. The food was delicious and at a good price, Danielle was very attentive and could not do more for us.
We played crazy golf which was also fun for all the family!
All in all, a great day out. Definitely worth a visit.
Thank you.

Short Stay

We went with a party of 22 people for a meal and this place is amazing and I couldn't fault it , the staff were all great especially danielle who sorted meals for us all and I couldn't fault her...nothing was too much trouble for her place is amazing with so much to do food was absolutely fantastic we all loved it here and will definatly be coming back here .

Amazing place

Looking on Groupon for a short getaway saw us stumble upon Westmead Forest Park . We chose to try the glamping as neither of us had tried that before. Price wise was just as cheap to book directly with the site and felt it gave us better protection. Could only stay two nights due to other appointments. Our glamping pod was on Oak Hill which had toilet facilities too the showers were a short stroll away . We used the pool , sauna and jacuzzi which we loved unfortunately the steam room was out of order and according to a regular guest happens far too often disappointingly. Before the pool we tried the gym which was adequate though could do with a more sturdy weight bench . Managed a walk in the Forest which was amazing. The pod was lovely and warm , bed and a quality quilt slept soundly. Went away having had a lovely relaxing break and have just booked to return for a 3 night stay in December. Will no doubt return again in the New Year as we both loved it here but will be better prepared with walking boots . Pods could do with the addition of a long handled broom rather than a dustpan and brush but had everything else was surprised how much space we had inside, roll on our next visit look forward to exploring the surrounding area too .

Lovely relaxing break

We stayed here for 1 night as we were looking for a local place within an hour of home…. We’ve found it! WOW. Amazing place. Great scenery, outstanding food but above all, friendly staff! Everything is on site you need. The staff in the bar and the pool were smiling and friendly. Lovely walks around and the scenery is beautiful. Excellent to relax and unwind. Only little jiggle was the internet kept crashing but it is free after all and hardly used it. Will be back asap and we have now found our new site for the weekends. Thanks for having us!
