A note from the site themselves...

We love living where we live! A mile outside the village of West Stow and opposite the Anglo Saxon Centre, we are found in the stunning Kings Forest. The forest is full of wildlife any time of the year, the summer skies are full the sounds of Swallows and Cuckoos. We are surrounded in Anglo Saxon history, we even have the old Roman road, Icknield Way running across the top field.

We are also known as 'a retreat' many of our guests, they comment on the tranquility and relaxing atmosphere the whole place holds. Arrange a stay at Wideham whether it is on the caravan park or in a holiday home, let Wideham work her 'magic'!
