Accommodation choices: pick the style that suits you
Log Cabins (with Hot Tubs)
Want to unwind with comfort and style? The lodges sleep 2–6, many with private hot tubs, decking and scenic views. For example, the Woodpecker Log Cabin is designed for romantic stays; the Badger Log Cabin sleeps larger families.
Lodges & Glamping Pods
If you prefer something a little different yet still well-equipped, the lodges and glamping pods are ideal. They retain a nature-focused feel but with modern comforts.
Especially good for couples or smaller groups seeking a break from normality.
Caravan & Motorhome Pitch Area
For those who bring their own unit, there’s a secluded field dedicated to caravans & motorhomes. Quiet and well-located within the park grounds.
Enquire about caravan/motorhome pitches.

Insider tips to get the most out of your stay
- Choose a lodge or cabin with a private hot tub if you want a significant “luxury” element.
- For children, pick accommodation near the play area or communal fire-pit area.
- Bring outdoor gear: even if your accommodation is comfy, the woodland setting can be muddy, damp or chilly depending on the season.
- Book early if your stay is aligned with major events/holidays near Alton Towers, as this gives you a better choice of dates and units.
- Don’t rely solely on WiFi/phone signal, the rural woodland setting means connectivity may be patchy.
- If you’re bringing your dog, confirm your unit allows pets and request any extra dog-friendly info (walking routes, local vet, etc).
