Wild Rose Holiday Park

  • Family-friendly park in Cumbria's Eden Valley near Appleby
  • Easy access to the Yorkshire Dales, Lake District and North Pennines
  • Indoor and outdoor pools, bar-restaurant, play area and games room
It's quite easy to roam wild from Wild Rose Park, overlooking the Pennines. Not only is this lovely little site set deep in Cumbria's Eden Valley with all manner of divine walks, hamlets and villages on the doorstep, it has very handy access to areas that holidaymakers come from very afar to see. The Lake District, the North Pennines and the Yorkshire Dales are all niftily accessible from Wild Rose, along with the exceedingly handsome market town of Appleby-in-Westmorland nearby and opportunities for sporty days out at local golf courses. You should also settle down here for a railway trip on the Settle-Carlisle Line, one of the most spectacularly scenic routes in the country – and a picnic at nearby High Force waterfall should be a crowd-pleaser too. It's easy to roam around and keep busy or relaxed on site with a heap of facilities to keep all ages happy: Wild Rose Park has a heated outdoor pool and an indoor pool, a play area and a games room. Breakfast, lunch, dinners and takeaways are sorted at the site's Coast and Country Eatery, which has a good range of food to suit all tastes and budgets.

What customers say

Guests generally praise the site's facilities, with the outdoor pool highlighted. Accommodation, such as the pods/hives, offers good space for couples and pets, and the showers are well-regarded. However, some reviews mention uncomfortable beds and pull-out sofas. Concerns have also been raised about the value for money, with specific accommodation noted as showing wear and tear, and issues with decking slipperiness in wet weather. Parking convenience for unloading can be a consideration.

Glamping Hive camping pod (hot tub)

Liked Outdoor pool was amazing, and facilities were overall good.

Disliked The price we paid for the Hive, having to make the beds up and down everyday, I've stay else where, and the accommodation has been superior.
The Hive accommodation was a little worse for wear, holes in the settee, rips in the flooring.

Glamping Hive camping pod (pet friendly)

Liked The pod/hive had plenty of space we were a couple with 2 dogs & we had plenty space not tripping over dogs. Had two fold out beds that did as they needed. Good shower & bathroom. A1+

Disliked Car parking could be a little far off in some instances for unloading kit to take to hive ( not handy if raining). No apparent shop that essentials could be purchased ( Appleby only 3away)

Glamping Hive camping pod (pet friendly)

Liked Lovely place to stay and the facilities were fab.

Disliked Not a dislike but the beds were uncomfortable and the pull out sofa bed was a little creaky. The decking was very slippy in wet weather, our shower mixer tap was very unpredictable from very cold to very hot. We would stay again but in different accommodation.

Local attractions

Wild Rose Park's nearest town, Appleby-in-Westmorland, is as cute as you'd expect from Cumbria – it was once a fiercely defended border stronghold from the time when the English and the Scots were wrangling, but is now a sedate and scenic market town with an 18-hole golf course, indoor swimming pool, individual shops and old traditional pubs (the best type). And it also has a castle, and an ancient church, both linked by the also-exceedingly scenic tree-lined main street of Appleby. The church, St Lawrence, is open all year for services, but for the castle, those wishing to have a nosy will need to book tickets for a tour from the Appleby tourist information centre as the castle is now privately owned. From Appleby, take the Settle-Carlisle Line through the Yorkshire Dales and the North Pennines for a very pretty day trip; the full run is 73 miles, but if you only have time for one leg of it, go towards Settle, to pass Ribblehead and the Ribblehead Viaduct. The Eden river, also as spectacularly scenic as you'd expect in Cumbria, has a lot to do along/in it and its tributaries – fishing, naturally, but also canoeing, boating, birdwatching or simply wandering along its beaut banks. Also in the area, have a look at the Lakeland heritage centre Rheged in Penrith and Tullie House in Carlisle, go swinging among the trees at Glenridding Forest or explore historical houses, family attractions and loads more: call into the Wild Rose Park reception or to the park tourist information room for top tips.
