Skelwith Fold Caravan Park

Liked Showers and laundry excellent site clean and staff friendly

Disliked The pitched were on stone and not attractive. Was told to go pick a pitch on arrival as none allocated. Drove round with most with reservations on them only 2 spots out of 30 free. Site not really for children very quiet

From the manager: Dear Jason, thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re delighted to hear that you found the showers and laundry facilities excellent, the site clean, and our team friendly.

We’re sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the appearance of the pitches. Due to the typical Lake District weather we experience, our hardstanding pitches are specifically designed to provide a practical, reliable surface in wetter conditions. We understand that they may not have the same appearance as grass pitches, but this is something we feel is particularly important for comfort and accessibility throughout the year.

We also appreciate your comments regarding pitch allocation. We don’t pre-allocate pitches, as we prefer to give guests the flexibility to choose their preferred pitch on arrival. During school holidays and other busy periods, however, availability can naturally become more limited, particularly for guests arriving later in the day.

We’re also sorry that the site felt quiet and not particularly suited to children. We pride ourselves on being a family-friendly site, with our large outdoor adventure playground, library, nature trails and nature hide, all designed to give families plenty to enjoy. We appreciate that everyone has different expectations, and we’re sorry that the atmosphere during your stay didn’t meet yours.

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.

We also appreciate your feedback about the shop opening hours. We're sorry you were caught out needing different awning pegs after the shop had closed.

Your comments regarding the shop's opening times are valuable, and we'll certainly take them into consideration as we continue to review the services we offer our guests.

Liked The site is in a beautiful location with really good pitches. The water pressure was excellent and the facilities including the onsite shop was brilliant.

Disliked If you need signal or WiFi you can forget about it. It is very poor!
It got very noisy with dogs constantly barking and kids screaming.

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.
