Skelwith Fold Caravan Park

Liked We love everything, from the greeting on arrival to the pitch size (premium). The staff out and about were friendly and helpful. Location was good to Ambleside and surrounding areas. Toilets, showers were spotless at all times. The laundry area was an added bonus. Also a library, thought of everything.

Disliked I would have like the shop to be open a bit longer in the evening but not a deal breaker.

Liked Lovely clean facilities, never an issue with the toilets or showers. Beautiful site, that is clearly well looked after. The park and its facilities are fantastic. Would definitely return and recommend.

Disliked The shop could be done with staying open a little longer. We didn’t bring the correct pegs a not getting the awning up would have been disastrous as our van was full. We called the warden, who was as helpful as he could be and said we needed different pegs but we couldn’t get any them as the shop was shut. Over the stay there was a few times we could have used the shop but as it shut at 17:30 we always missed out.

From the manager: Dear Nikita, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We're pleased to hear you enjoyed our beautiful location, spacious pitches, excellent water pressure, and our facilities, including the onsite shop.

We're sorry to hear you were disappointed with the WiFi and noise during your stay. As we're in a rural location, WiFi and mobile signal can be variable and unfortunately cannot be guaranteed. We do make guests aware of this at check-in, as both our WiFi service and mobile coverage can be affected by the surrounding landscape and individual network providers.

We're also sorry that noise from other guests impacted your stay. We have a warden on duty specifically to help with issues such as excessive noise, barking dogs, or disturbances, and we do wish you'd contacted us at the time so we could have investigated and done our best to resolve the situation for you.

Thank you again for your feedback. We appreciate your comments and hope you might consider staying with us again in the future, giving us the opportunity to provide you with the peaceful experience we always strive to deliver.

From the manager: Dear Kev, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We're so pleased to hear you found the site quiet and beautiful—it's exactly the peaceful atmosphere we hope all our guests enjoy.

We also appreciate your feedback about the approach road. As we're nestled in the heart of the woodland, the access can feel a little narrow in places, but taking it slowly and carefully makes the journey much easier.

Thank you again for your comments, and we hope to welcome you back for another relaxing stay in the future!

Liked For a large site it felt very warm & welcoming with great sized pitches that were well laid out. We really liked the location & facilities available. Being in the forest was fantastic and the walks around the woodland a real bonus. The fact that tourers sections were interspersed between static sections really helped to make the site connected rather than segregated and the lovely treees and plants everywhere softened the boundaries beautifully. The shop, reception, library, laundrette, toilets and showers were all of a very high standard and, like the whole site, very well looked after. The bus stops for Ambleside & Coniston being right at the entrance was so convenient but some may struggle with the mile walk down and back along the driveway to get there. We've always been wary of large sites but this one had us wanting to stay longer!

Disliked Nothing.
