West Park Lodge in Hadley Wood, Hertfordshire, has been run by the same family for eight generations. It is ideally located off the A111, just south of junction 4 of the M25.
“Just off the M25, only about 12 miles north of Piccadilly, lies a woodland haven, a 35-acre garden of trees which shows just how much one man can achieve within his own lifetime.” The Times
“West Lodge shines like a gastronomic beacon just inside the M25 between Barnet and Enfield.” The Evening Standard
Take a stroll in the Beale Arboretum at West Lodge Park Hotel, home to the National Collection of Hornbeams, as well as over 800 different species of trees from around the world.

Hotel guests are welcome to visit the grounds at any time and the Arboretum is open to the public every afternoon from 2 – 5 pm. (Admission £2.50 payable at reception)
